When War meets Video Games

War games are becoming popular over the years. I'm sad to say that this has been like that since the dawn of man. War determines who is the dominant force. In the chaos that war creates, order and peace is restored gradually. Game developers have recreated this cycle in “war games”. The style of the games may differ but the objectives are always similar: use strategy and military tactics in order to complete your mission.
Many people enjoy playing war games. I am one of them and so are some of my friends. There are many who enjoy games a game that makes you plan a strategy only to having it drastically changed by the enemy. It also forces them to react quickly when their strategies do not work. There are many who argues that some of these games are too violent and should not be played at all. Most of these arguers are concerned parents, and I do not blame them. But other people also claim that these games teachers the player the wars that happened, what happened during that time and the strategy and sacrifice the soldiers did. Personally, I agree with that statement.

I think that the people who argue that violent games, such as these, should not be played, need to lighten up. It greatly teaches me history. If it was not for some of the war games I have played, then I would not have taken such a keen interest in history. I have had more than one experience where, after beating the game, looked at what the historical records say. These games should be allowed to be played by those interested. War games offer so much more than shooting down enemies with rifles that are not in production now-a-days. I believe that war games are a great way in getting teens, such as myself, interested in history.
