The internet touches every aspect of your children’s lives. Where you might look up an unknown word in a dictionary, your kids are more likely to use it. Where you use the telephone, they use instant massages. An even greater difference can be found in how they play games? Where the games of their parent’s generation may have involved a board, cards, or at their most sophisticated a console system, the games your children play on the net can be far more complex. They use spread empires, fight dragons and aliens alone or with tens, hundreds, even thousands of their fellow gamers. All of this makes for a confusing miss mash of names, places, jargon and lingo that can leave you with no idea what your kids are actually doing? And a vague feeling of uneasiness that some part of it might not be good for them.
What’s appropriate for your kids is a decision only you can make. How much violence they are exposed to? How much time they spend in front of a screen? And how much contact they have with the faceless strangers? So common to the net are all questions you must grapple with and, in the end, decide for your family? While we can’t help you make these rough decisions, we can certainly help you get the information you need to understand your children’s hobbies better, both to make informed judgments about what they should and should not be doing, and to help you reach into another part of their lives that may have previously seemed like something of a puzzle box.
The Easy Stuff
The simplest type of online game is the sort of Flash or Java driven game that you generally see running inside your web browser. This type of game tends to be relatively simple compared to the standalone games discussed later. Common examples are Bejeweled, Zumba, and Diner Dash. These games are universally single player and have none of the sort of violent or mature content that keeps parents up at night. Were they movies, they would be G Rated, with perhaps the occasional game stretching to PG? If this is the type of game your kids are into then, first be relieved. Then should try the game out. Many of these games can be very pleasant for even the most casual of players. Such as Bookworm, even have genuine educational content. These games can be as much as suitable for bonding and learning as throwing around a baseball in the backyard, and have the added bonus of being much easier to get your kids to sit down with you and play.
FPS:'' Finding Something to Shoot.''
FPS:''stands for First-Person Shooter''. They are First Person, since that a story might be. That is, the player sees the world through the eyes of a single character and interacts to the game environment as though he was that character. Shooter comes from the primary goal of most such games, the shooting of whatever happens to be the bad boy. FPS: games are among some of the most popular online. Common examples are Doom, Battlefield and the X-Box game Halo. From a parent's perspective, these games can because for concern. They vary widely in the amount of realism, degree of violence, language, and attitude. The only way to get a good idea of the content issues is to watch the specific game. If your kids don’t want you watching while they play, then fire up the game yourself sometime when they aren’t around. There is a sizeable variation in how violent and personal FPS content can be from game to game. The single player portion of Halo, for example, has players fighting against alien invaders with largely energy weapons and a minimum of realistic human sufferings. In contrast, WWII themed games trend to go out of their way to show realistic violence. Given the subject, this is appropriate for the game, but may not be for your kids. Online play games presents a potentially greater concern. The goal of online FPS games are always killing other players. While some games do have various aims where this is a secondary goal, all of them give the player a gun and encourage him to use it on characters representing other people.
Simulated gore and the use of violence against others to achieve goals may be things you don’t want your kids exposed to. Again, these are your responsibility to make, but we encourage you to make them with as much information as possible. Talk to your children's. Find out what they think? In their words, is going on in the game? Make sure, they see the line between what happens in the game? And what happens in the real world? Between what it’s okay to simulate and what it’s okay to do? The answers may astonish you. If your children understand the differences, see real violence as deplorable and simulated violence as part of the game, then FPS games, even online ones, can be a perfectly healthy way to have fun and let off steam. In the end, it explains on you to make sure that what your child gets out of the game is good for him or her.
