These days, video games are growing rapidly in popularity. People have taken to many different opinions on the subject. Some opinions being more positive in nature, while other opinions view video games in a more negative light.

It's only right to look at both sides of this form of entertainment to obtain an opinion that is non-biased towards either side of the issue.

Video games can become addictive, as with any type of avoidance behaviour. Gamers can escape into a false reality, and their very perception of reality may become unclear. Over users may develop social inabilities, feel shy and become withdrawn from society.

Violence in video games can be ultra-gory, and some games contain adult content quite inappropriate for children. It's argued that violence in video games desensitizes children to violence in real-life and may even lead to violent tendencies.
