Impact of game players

Computer games are so popular because nowadays they are so realistic. Sports games such as 'FIFA 09' contain graphics that are almost like watching T.V. Just yesterday I was playing on 'FIFA 09' on my Xbox 360 and turned the t.v monitor off but forgot to turn the actual Xbox off because I glanced at the screen and automatically thought it was T.V instead of the game. The computer generated players on the game even sweat gradually throughout the game and you can even see the veins in their arms etc.

I personally don't think that computer games make you violent. This is because I have played on my fair share of violent games and I don't consider myself to be violent. I think you have to be a weak minded person to be influenced by things like this. Similarily, my favourite films are 'gangsta' type such as 'American Gangster' and 'Get Rich Or Die Tryin' and I certainly am not a drug dealer, murderer etc.

I believe that computer games make you isolated to a degree. If I am really into a game, I can spend hours upstairs playing it without talking to anyone. There are exceptions though because it can also be a social thing such as having mates round to play on them.
