The new PC and video game systems can provide entertainment for all ages, as well as a variety of benefits and advantages.
The gaming industry has seen rapid growth and development thanks to advances in technology and popular demand.
Video games can be categorized into eight main categories.
Take Action
These games are fast-paced and can contain a lot of violence. Action games are not recommended for children. These games are classified as "M" (mature-rated). These include Halo, Star Wars and Jedi Knight, as well as Enter the Matrix Starsector Hull Mods.
Adventure and role playing
These games are usually less graphic than action games, and can lead the player to surrealism or fantasy. Although adventure and role-playing games can contain violence, they are not as violent as action games. This category includes Borderlands 2, Final Fantasy and Legend of Mana, as well as Billy Hatcher.
First-person shooters
It is a game where the player views the action through the eyes and uses guns or rifles to kill his enemy. These games are not recommended for children under the age of six due to the violence. These games include "Half-Life", "Half-Life 2", and "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".
Construction and Management Simulation (CMS).
This genre is characterized by the ability to create, expand, and manage imaginary communities and projects with very limited resources. This genre includes "SimCity", "Harvest Moon", and others.
Strategy
These games place more emphasis on strategy than violence. They are also slower, which allows for the player to think strategically and plan their resources in order to win. Many of these games are war-based, so violence is not entirely absent. These games are not appropriate for children. Examples include Advanced Wars I & II and Civilization V.
Simulation
These games are computer or video games that recreate real-world situations using game settings. These include Sims, Flight Simulators, and Racing Simulators. This class has many games to entertain children. Simulator games include Football Manager, Farming Simulator 2013, The Sims, and Evil Genius.
Platformer
Platformer, also known as Platformer, is the act of jumping between platforms suspended at different heights and obstacles to advance in the game. Platformer includes 40 Winks and Abuse, Action 52, Adventure Island, and Action 52.
