What Is Exciting Kids Today

By Mike Allen


Kids can now play video games in a variety of ways. However, not all video games are suitable for kids. Some are educational, fun and extra entertaining for many kids to enjoy and because of the new motion gaming systems like the Nintendo Wii or the xbox 360 kinect, changes in the way children games have also transformed to a more realistic and virtual game playing with contents unacceptable for many kids to view and parents need to be aware of the potential dangers that their children will be confronted with when playing some of these games.

The original video game systems that were created back in the seventies were generally safe for people of all ages. The need to screen the games for unwanted content was very small when compared to the games that are available today. Kids are open to have a fun and be entertained without any explicit content. Most kids will be just as happy playing a game with good messages as they would playing a game with the wrong messages. But manufactures have started to develop gaming systems that are starting to cloud this issue. With high definition graphics and surround sound the ability to make games more lifelike is increasing. Parents are now concerned about the game system that they want their kids to have. This increase in available games that are more violent has caused some adults to try to monitor their kids game play even more.

Game platforms first arrived on the scene with a small amount of titles to play. As time has passed, the number of games that is available has risen dramatically. It is difficult for parents to keep up with the latest rends in gaming because of this.

With the wide variety of titles, companies have come up with a way to rank their games based upon the content. Using the ratings will help a parent decide if a game is appropriate for the age and maturity level of their kid. The platforms have also taken game play to a new level. It looks like many of the titles are more real life. That means that a child will sometimes have trouble figuring out what is fantasy and what is reality. The rank that the companies give the games are useful but not perfect.

Another consideration is the cost of the gaming systems. While a person might not spend much more on the new xbox 360 kinect price than a person spent on an old PONG platform when it first appeared on the market, the cost of the games has gone way up and can be a significant investment for a child, and this makes the choice of the games even more important. It makes it tough to buy a lot of different games and a person does not want to waste money on the wrong game.

There are ways for parents to keep a child from playing certain types of games within the platforms. If a child is not mature enough for a certain rating they can be kept from playing them. But the ability of the parental controls varies from game to game. Children today are often savvy enough to bypass these systems. The use of controls is not a substitute for the parent's themselves.

There is nothing wrong with a parent learning about the games by enjoying them with their kids. There is no age limit to being able to have fun when it comes to video gaming It gives a parent a chance to role model for their children. When mature and violent situations occur it will give the parent the opportunity to talk about them. It is better than any rating system that will ever be created.
