Shooting games
have been drawing everybody’s attention and nowadays, they are much
popular than ever before. Such kind of genre not only adds thrill to
the gaming but they also have many knock-on effects.
Video games,
being invented for fun, provided more than fun and with the help of
latest and advanced technology, shooting games have redefined the
gaming experience. With heart-throbbing sound effects and classic
graphics, the player gets lost into another world where there is
nothing other than the passion to accomplish the mission by walking
over dead bodies of the enemies and totally destroyed enemy tanks and
airplanes!
Many of the parents might blame shooting games since they think that
they do spoil their children and children learn nothing out of it. In
fact, they lose their study and become irresponsible. Of course, this
is true but provided if kids are out of control and are million miles
away when their parents shout at them. But then, is it a shooting game
that only brings such frustration? Isn’t it possible that a kid
listening to the music or watching movie might ignore such instructions
too? Meaning to say that, when it comes to obedience, it lies ‘in kid’
and not the tool he is playing with!
Let us see one hardcore fact that we were unaware of till it was issued
in public interest! A study by researchers at the University of
Rochester revealed that people who play shooting cum action video game
for a few hours a day over the course of one month showed improvement
their functioning in eye examinations by about 20 per cent. "Action
video game play changes the way our brains process visual information,"
as stated by Daphne Bavelier (professor, The Brain and Cognitive
Sciences). He adds that such games might push the human sensory system
to some higher limits and the brain gets adjusts to it and this
learning then carry-forward into other activities and perhaps everyday
life.
Psychiatrists also admit that such shooting games make mind alert and a
player starts thinking in different ways. In other words, the capacity
of the brain to have multidimensionality significantly increases. Let
us look at one simple example; at one particular point, a main
character of the
action game
comes and immediately gets shot and then dead. It happens once, twice
or more than that but then, the player starts thinking about the
loopholes. The brain starts thinking in a multidimensional way and
tries to read between lines; where does a bullet come from? Who shoots
and whence? He thinks twice before stepping further at that point and
uses the crosswire or latest
binocular
and finds out that butthead and baaanggg!!! Finish!!! Watch the brain’s
activity here; it was thinking so normal and everything could come
right in the way, but the loss of life makes brain to work hard and to
get a breakthrough!!!
All-in-all, shooting games do have many other benefits but it all
depends on the player how they take it and how the utilize. You got
hydrochloric acid with you; now you can invent some wonderful chemical
out of it or simply can burn clothes!
