It won’t be a bigger problem to find one video game lover in your neighbor. Since the introduction of Virtual Game, it has been achieving great heights so far as its popularity and technological advancement are concerned. The history of video game is as interesting as a fairy tale. The quality of today’s video game was not at all there when video game first conceptualized and played ever. During the formulative years, video games were created by using various interactive electronic devices with various display formats. The first ever video game was designed in 1947 by Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. and Estle Ray Mann. (Source: Wikipedia.org) The device was recognized as Cathode Ray Tube Amusement Device. From Cathode Ray Tube Amusement Device to Xbox 360, PlayStation series or Nintendo WII, the story behind video games and accessories is really very creative and adventurous. Recently played video games are quite developed and they are more interactive than the earlier video games. From analog video game design to 2D and 3D video games all have their own charm and video game lovers try to play all sorts of video games. In this respect our team talked to John, who lives in Sidney, Australia. When he was asked about his preference about the type of video game, he replied, “Let me make it clear from the very beginning that I’m really crazy about video games. I’ve been playing video games since I gained consciousness…LOL…Really I’m serious. My father owns a video game store here in Sidney and we are still managing the same store. The only difference that you may find is the shelves. The old analog video games were replaced by 2D and 3D video games. We have several regular customers and they very often come to our store and ask for the LATEST. I too ask about their preference and they say they love to try any sort of video games. What ever that is competitive, they love to play. So far playing excitement of video games is concerned, they can be compared with the soccer match between Manchester United and Liverpool."
It’s not the quality of video games that improves, researches and developments are too evident in video game accessories, too. Without such accessories, the real excitement of video games can not be enjoyed. It’s pretty easy to recognize video game accessories. The video game accessories are just like computer hard wares. If video games are software, the most important video game accessories are consoles and D-pad. Currently several companies are manufacturing video game accessories. Some of the major players in the industry are Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. Microsoft’s Xbox 360, Sony’s PlayStation series and Nintendo’s WII are high in demand.
Xbox 360 is the second video game console introduced by Microsoft in the video game industry. This was developed in association with IBM, ATI and SiS. Xbox Live service enables players to compete online as well as players can download other relevant content from internet. Xbox 360 is the seventh generation game console and currently challenged by Sony’s Play Station 3 and Nintendo’s WII in the market.

Most Controversial Video Games
Now, we're not saying that never happens, but we think it's time for video games to get the credit that they deserve. It is finally becoming known that there are a few really exciting ways that video games are helping people and their enriching their lives.
It seems that the skills needed to play games are similar to the skills needed to perform laparoscopic surgery. In a new, very small study recently published, surgeons who at one time in their lives played up to 3 hours of video games a week made 37% fewer errors in the simulated laparoscopic surgeries performed during the study.
They were also faster and better overall than the other surgeons who played less than that amount or none at all. This is not a definitive study but it is definitely an exciting development that will be followed by researchers for further progress.
Another study which is currently being performed is using Virtual Reality Therapy with soldiers that suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). It is estimated that 20% of American soldiers who have returned from Iraq suffer with PTSD.
A game that has been created and modified from the Xbox game, Full Spectrum Warrior, is being used to help soldiers face their fears with similar landscapes, scenes, and even smells that resemble what they experienced in the Middle East. The psychologist that has created this therapy is not making any grand claims at this point but is very hopeful for continued future success.
One female soldier that has completed this form of therapy has continued to see improvements three months after receiving the therapy.
Another way that video games are beneficial is in fitness. A Canadian fitness company is now hooking interactive games up to exercise machines.
This facility is geared specifically toward teens. You can pedal and steer your way into victory against friends through playing the game on your stationary bike. The bike is connected to a biking PlayStation game and the pedals and handlebars give you movement and steering in the game.
This is a truly inventive way to marry teenagers' love for electronics with physical activity.
So the next time your son isn't able to tear himself away from Madden football to fully answer your questions, remind yourself that he just might be in training for surgery!
