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.

A. That's a tough one but I would recommend Wii to everyone boys and girls alike, I would recommend the PS3 and the 360 to boys. For the Wii I would recommend to boys and Girls to get Super Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart Wii and The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. For the boys only I would recommend Resident Evil 4 and Umbrella Chronicles and for the Girls I would Recommend Eldees and Wii Sports, but to be honest anyone can play any game for the Wii even Metroid Prime 3 they are all fun for boys and Girls because of their wide appeal, the pick up and play and the great motion sensitive controls the Wii is for everyone even your Grand Parents.

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
