what do you think about games? is it useless? or it is useful? i think that a game can be useful if the user know what can they learn from the game from just playing for fun... like study history, or make it as a reference to develop our own game or anything else that has to be useful for all of us... but many of us, just using game to kill our time.. sigh... what a waste...

Hi there Clee Wlkr! I think that the main purpose of games is for entertainment or amusement. Some games have additional things added into this life learning the value of teamwork, some are educational, some improves your reflexes, some exercises your mind. Some people even earn real money for playing games like I do.

There are many games where you can learn something useful for instance geography games where you have to pick the right countries or the right capitals. I enjoy those games, they are fun to play and I always learn something. I also like to play vocabulary games, and I have learned several new words that way. I play many hidden object games and that is another way to learn new words. The games are in English, and English is not my first language, so I usually find some words that I haven't heard before.

Even games that do not actively teach you anything are helpful. They improve dexterity and stimulate the mind. They also are useful for just plain relaxing, which is important.

I think games are great, whether it be online or physical. I love playing them all. It's not a waste of time at all. playing physical games give your exercises and some games like sports do enhance your body. Online games are also great because you don't have to stay out in the sun and damage your skin, you also get to meet people from different countries and cultures, thereby widening your world. You're also compelled to learn english. You have to be able to read it to play, you have to know how to speak it (or type it) in order to communicate. The best part of all is that you're enjoying, and that is what matters more!

You're right. In my opinion games are never bad. They're bad only when you get addictedd to them. Don't get addicted, just play games for fun and entertainment. Playing games is a good substitute to reading books meant for entertainment. But remember, you mustn't forget your life just for playing games. Keep it at its place.

I don't think games for entertainment are just a waste. That's like calling movies, television, and books that people use just for fun a waste. It helps relax us and ease our mind. Life shouldn't be spent being uptight all of the time. We should be able to let loose and have fun as well.
