Enhance
We play games in real life. Many people think that gaming is divorced from reality, but in reality, life and games exist side by side. Exceptional games can motivate their players to behave in exceptional ways. Whether that behavior is good or bad depends on the game and the way players engage in it. Wandering thoughtlessly through a game is like zoning out in a chemistry laboratory. Attentive people can accomplish marvels in either place, but careless fools will generate catastrophes. So remember to let your virtue control the game, or the game may empower your vice.

I used to love games for their stories. Recently I've become disenchanted with games, especially on smart phones. They've been watered down to the point that they distract more than the inspire. I'm sure some indie developers somewhere are making great games still, but I've lost interest in the deluge of tired and recycled plots and ideas.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the post above but my concern isn't necessarily with myself but kids, I see so many young people I know that just get totally zoned out with those distracting and almost boring games.
ReplyDeletevery good ideas about gaming.
