Talk:Video game/Archive 1

message: I just totally reformatted the Genre section. The old way drove me nuts! I realize that now the TOC is totally overloaded, but perhaps someone could do more reformatting so just the main genres are listed? I also added descriptions to each type of genre for a brief overview of the genre so they don't have to navigate to the entry to find out what the genre contains (they can still surf there for an in-depth discussion). I also added the new genre Serious games and re-alphabatized game listings. Comments, criticisms appreciated... —Frecklefoot 17:52, 1 Oct 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: I've pushed the concept a little further - there are now a couple dedicated lists (the lists here were missing many game articles), and I think this article should prune down to only mention the 3-4 best-known games in each genre, so it can focus on narrative, while the lists can be exhaustive/ing. :-) Then some of the subheadings can become plain paragraphs, and the TOC is less frightful. Also the lists are both computer and video games, which finesses that debate... Stan 06:25, 31 Oct 2003 (UTC)

message: Please can we merge Computer game and Video game? I see the discussion above, but we already have Adventure game and Interactive fiction. There is much duplication and it is frankly very confusing. 209.102.127.120 05:24, 22 Feb 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I'm in the camp of keeping them seperate. A computer game can be a video game, but not always. Some computer games aren't video games at all. There's a reason they are seperate. Yes, there is some duplication, but Wikipedia is not paper. —Frecklefoot 15:39, 23 Feb 2004 (UTC)

message: Any danger of a better screenshot than this? Intrigue 23:16, 18 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: It doesn't look too bad to me.  Is there anything particular wrong with it?  Perhaps you could have a look at :Category:Fair_use_screenshots, and pick one of the 522 images that you look.  Actually, not all are video games (or indeed games of any sort), but there are a number of video game images there to have a look at.  Silverfish 00:51, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: Nobody now refers to non-IBM Compatible PC computer games as PC games, they are usually referred to as Amstrad Games, Amiga Games or grouped together as Computer Games - how come Computer Games doesn't have a section, but specifically PC games does?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.32.141.11 (talk) 12:46, 4 November 2017 (UTC)

message: Video games usually is addictive to children and distracts them from doing anything else.Furthermore,it lowers their IQ {wich shows how smart they are} and it may give them headaches.It would have the same effect if they had their head hit by a rock.Sometimes their eyeballs shrink if looking at the screen for too long and also hurt their eyes and damage their eyesight making it poor. 88.98.219.59 (talk) 19:31, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

message: There was a study in 2013 where they got 20 children and divided them in to two groups of ten one group played AVG (action video games) and the other group played NAVG (non-action video games) they were tested before and after playing video games the children’s attentional reading and phonological skills . They found that the AVG group without affection there accuracy improved the children’s reading speed also their attention skills. This was done over nine sessions of 80 minutes per day adding up to 12 hours in total also the NAVG did not have the same benefit as the AVG put did have the same routine to also add that it was done on Nintendo Wii gaming console 
benefits of the Xbox 360 for children with cereal palsy(CP) to be more pacific is the Xbox 360’s motion capture device Kinect also there were 11 children who took part 5 being boys and 6 being girls also around the age of 8 years old. The study lasted 8 weeks in which the children where tester before and after playing Xbox 360’s Kinect on their balance, gait speed Jumping and running and fine manual finger dexterity also there motor and process skills. What they have gathered from there study is that the Xbox 360 Kinect has some benefits for the children  in some of the areas they tested in but not all also adding that some motion capture games could be used as a tool for rehabilitation for children with CP.
the effects of one switch games for children with severe motor disabilities also there were only 8 children in the study but only 7 could the children could play and interact  the mini games from Gnomon. They worked closely with a team from their local health agencies who know Physiotherapists, speech therapists and psychologists. They found that some games for children with severe mother disabilities (smd) is that some video games can be very fast paced and some children can keep up with the time response and quick decision making the player must make for their character to succeed in there game also they may not be able to use the standard controls that some video game console uses like mouse, keyboard (used by PC) or controllers (Xbox and PlayStation) this is where one switch games help children with smd benefit as it not focus on time quick decision making. The found that 7 out of 8 of the children could reach the goals of the game while enjoying the game.
