Today the world of video games has a large impact on the youth of today. Now many children would rather sit inside and play their "X-Box 360," than go out and play a real game of football. But is this completely horrid? Sure video games can have a negative impact on a child's physical ability. For if one is to sit inside and do nothing then it's only natural the he/she becomes out of shape. But with new technology games are requiring the user to move in order to play the game successfully.

I personally believe that if someone enjoys video games then it is their own prerogative to play them as much as they want. But those who are trying to cut sales and remove some video games that are rated "M" need to understand what they're talking about.

Video games can improve reaction times and some aspects of coordination. As well many video games can teach people many things. Most games set in the past actually have some historical context.

As well I believe that parents should pay attention to the games rating!!! If something says M then one should not buy such games for their 13 year-old child. People say that such games as "Grand Theft Auto" and "Halo" impose violence upon children; well the game was not indtended for children! If someone wants to complain about violent games then they should complain about violence in movies, books and shows. Yet many will not because all they are doing is looking for something to complain about. As well many people who complain about violence in games won't even pick up a controller to see what is so bad, however they will complain about them.
