With this tool, do not need a TV or computer screens and cables. Also does not take joy stick. Before the play, users need only to fill the batteries into it. For children, the video game is very interesting because it has several advantages. Games entertain children and playing games is a really exciting entertainment. The interactive nature of the game gives children the opportunity to involve themselves emotionally in it. Results to be obtained at the end of the game is determined by the player. Plus, by playing games, players can do what they can not do in real life. Players in an instant can be farmers, ranchers, football players, soldiers, drivers, architects, manager of the zoo, and many other roles. Not surprisingly, video games became a close friend of many children. Well, now, "friend" many children are more easily accompany the child because of the forms of portable gaming. This thing is a favorite and dreams of children who do not already have. Several types of portable gaming is quite popular among the Sony PSP, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance, Sega Game Gear, and Nokia N-Gage QD.
Popularity of hand held gaming console is increasing because these objects have various functions. Not just playing games, this tool can also be used to listen to songs, browse the internet, and store photos. For children and adolescents, the activities were of course very nice!
The form of this game getting closer to the child with video games. Game tool that is easy to carry anywhere is more potential to make game play as a child's daily activities. As mobile phones, this thing can be played anywhere and on any occasion the child as they pleased. That is, the potential to make children spend time playing the game even bigger.
Well known, one effect is the effect of video game addiction. Addictive games can make players, want to play on, again and again. Well, the chance for addiction is greater when the media to play it in the hands of children, namely in the form of portable gaming. Whenever there is a chance to play it, because the addiction, your child will continue to play it. It mainly occurs in children whose parents do not apply the rules about when should play the game.
For children, whenever there is spare time, then play the game through the handheld is a very easy thing to do. Do not be surprised, when in a vehicle, while waiting, while in family gatherings, and when anything, we find children who are playing this game console. Children only interact with the game, do not interact with the people around him. This can be bad for the development of social relations skills of the children.
Frequent interact only with the existing game devices in hand and ignore the world around him has the potential to encourage children to have asocial attitudes. In fact, even in childhood the ability to socialize and interact with people around him should be developed. These social skills will be honed sensitivity and emotional intelligence abilities.
Another problem comes from the games children played. The game play is outstanding right now a lot of which contain content not healthy for children. Game violence is rampant, even becoming a very popular type of game. Game violence often gets the label action game or the "action game". This game raised the action of the figures, both in the face of the enemy, war, or zombies. The form of this game there is a form of fighting game (game power struggle or fight) or shooting game (action shot). Fighting games popular with children such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Combat Fighting, Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat. The very popular shooting game is Resident Evil 4 and Grand Theft Auto. Many of the games contain content that is inappropriate adult child consumed. Some games even combining violence and sex. An example is Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. This video game slipped mini game titled "Hot Coffee" depicting explicit sexual activity. One reason why this series is extremely popular precisely because of this mini game!
Of course, not all games are bad. Many games are healthy, contain content that is not only entertaining but also educational for children. Some of them are Winning Eleven Pro Evolution Soccer 2008, Zoo Tycoon, Peanuts: It's The Big Game Charlie Brown!, Mario Kart, Harvest Moon, Cooking Mama, Super Mario Galaxy, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, and Eco Creatures: Save The Forest.
Technology video game developing very fast with a more affordable price. Video games like mobile phones, formerly owned only a handful of people, goods now become "mandatory" that can be owned by anyone.
Video games are increasingly easy to reach children, such as hand held gaming consoles this. That many would be able to have it, because the price is relatively more affordable.
Vigilance is required of parents. The use of games should be regulated, any form of game tool. More on the hand held, because it is easy to play and can be played anytime, arrangements must be applied from the beginning: when the child can play, on what occasion, and for how long.
Supervision is also important in terms of games played by children. Wherever possible, keep the kids play games appropriate for his age. Encourage children to talk about game content. Discuss about the game content is good and bad.
Inevitably, parents themselves have to learn a lot about video games. Most parents do not care about video games and consider only the children's game (especially, the name "game"!). This view was to be abandoned, because the game, let alone who was constantly in the grip of a child, could have a negative impact for children.
