A video game is an electronic game that involves interaction with a user interface to generate visual feedback on a video device. The word video in video game traditionally referred to a raster display device. However, with the popular use of the term "video game," it now implies any type of display device. The electronic systems used to play video games are known as platforms; examples of these are personal computers and video game consoles. These platforms range from large mainframe computers to small handheld devices. Specialized video games such as arcade games, while previously common, have gradually declined in use.

The input device used to manipulate video games is called a game controller, and varies across platforms. For example, a dedicated console controller might consist of only a button and a joystick. Another may feature a dozen buttons and one or more joysticks. Early personal computer games often needed a keyboard for gameplay, or more commonly, required the user to buy a separate joystick with at least one button. Many modern computer games allow, or even require, the player to use a keyboard and mouse simultaneously.

Video games typically also use other ways of providing interaction and information to the player. Audio is almost universal, using sound reproduction devices, such as speakers and headphones. Other feedback may come via haptic peripherals, such as vibration or force feedback, with vibration sometimes used to simulate force feedback.

Video GAMES!?
Q. Are Video games bad for me (I am 14 yrs old, aiming for MIT University) Will Video game stop me in my destination? If do, How should i limit them?

A. I have had to deal with this as well. The best way to be able to play games and get good grades is to study a certain amount everyday and after you've met that quota than the rest of your day can be free time when you can play games. For me, mmorpgs were way too time consuming, but I find that if I take a 20 minute break I can usually fit in a good game of Battlefield 2.

What is an interesting informative speech topic relating to video games?
Q. I want to do my informative speech on something that deals with or is related to video games, because that is something that interests me the most. I still can't decide on what to talk about. Please help me with this i have speech class in a week to present. I did by the way copy the question from somebody but replaced the word 'fashion' with 'video games' because this question is exactly what im trying to ask but with games instead of fashion lol

A. You could trace the history of video games for one...or perhaps explore the popularity of video games (why they are popular, who they are popular with, etc...) Be sure to keep your audience in mind when you pick and develop your topic... For example, a speech aimed at teens (presumably familiar with video games) wouldn't need to define such games, etc. But on the other hand, if talking to your grandparents, you would need to spend time making them understand what video games are perhaps...

This is a collection of quotes about video games.

Contents

Sourced

  • The combination of low culture and high technology is one of the most fascinating social features of the video game phenomenon. Computers were invented as super drones to do tasks no human in her or his right mind (much less left brain) would have the patience, or the perseverance, to manage. [...] Now our robot drones, the ones designed to take all the boring jobs, become the instrument for libidinal extravaganzas devoid of any socially productive component. Video games are computers neutered of purpose, liberated from functionality. The idea is intoxicating; like playing with the help on their night off.
  • It's tough to "buy American" when a video game sold by a U.S. company has been developed by Japanese software engineers and packaged in Mexico.
    • Barack Obama. About the worldwide video game market. Quoted in "The Audacity of Hope" - Page 175 - by Barack Obama
  • "Show me your children’s games, and I will show you the next hundred years."
    • Smartbomb by Heather Chaplin and Aaron Ruby
