What makes gamers keep gaming?

New trend this year do involve video games that grasp the attention of not only 21-year-olds but it went down in between 14-18 and such teenage groups are addict to playing these kind of games. Its interesting that the article mention game activities are similar to real-life activities suchs as overcoming obstacles, achieve specific goal and solving problems but the question that comes to mind is: Is it any helpful to the youngsters and the 21-year-olds who are into playing video games? How effective is it on their daily lives? I believe these video games are taking up much of their time when they have more improtant things to do like completing homeworks and focusing on school. Although, some parents tend to put it away during school days but it has a negative impact on kids. Parents tend to say "No video games on school nights just on the weekends" or "if you are doing good in school then you can play as long as you want". I tend to think this is not a good way of having them concentrate on school because they might just attend class for the sake of playing the video game. Its best if their is a  limited time on weekends for playing since some tend to play as long as they want and forget about completing their homeworks. Its something to think about for the sake of the kids though. Some kids tend to talk about it in school instead of paying attention in class. These days its interesting how new technology has changed so much in the world and has a huge impact on people. Although its just a game but their are cases where gamers tend to imitate what comes on the game in real-life. They have the habit of studying every move they use on screen for the games and apply it to real-life whenever they are playing around with friends or family members. Perhaps, thats the reason why they would always put a notice saying "PLEASE DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME" on some games but gamers nowdays hardly listens they want to try everything out in their own way. It is always better for parents to stick around whenever their gamers (kids who loves to play video games) are playing and make sure they pick out the games that can give them positive actions and something to learn from. I've read some critic on the impacts of video games and I tend to agree with some of them when they advice the parents to be sure to be present everytime their gamers play a game.
