video games' effect on society today - video games have mostly had a positive effect on modern society, people can play video games in their spare time to keep from getting bored and they are an enormous new industry for people to get employment in. however their are some people who would argue that they are a bad media, as they take up alot of time, and many people get addicted to them, having a negative affect on their school or work life, as well as their social life. This is essentially an old fashioned view, although it does hold some merit. If the individual player lets their game time get out of hand this may be detrimental to their studies or their work, however most people are smart enough to limit themselves to a reasonable amount of time. The media exaggerates the issue as they do with alot of things, causing worry and controversy about video games among society, although it is not a particularly serious or widespread problem. Games have, in some cases, had negative effects on society because of people playing them too much, but mostly this is a minor problem that can be easily regulated by the individual.Violent games have also been a controversy in the media because it has been claimed that some murders have been committed by heavy gamers who play violent games, but recent research has shown that any violenced supposedly influenced by games have only been because the individual has already had these tendencies, and not as a result of video game play.
The internet and games - The internet has allowed games to reach places they were never able to. like most things the internet has had an effect on, it has provided a new age of gaming interaction and communication. It has allowed players to compete online, engage in MMO games and otherwise communicate while playing. Internet gaming has jumped game's popularity to enormous lengths and it is easy to see the great effect it has had on almost any game you play, its hard to find a game that hasnt implemented the internet in some way these days.
Music has a big part in games, as it changes the mood of the game, and adds to the enjoyment. some company's, such as the widely successful video game developer Electronic Arts, have implemented artist's music into their games, to benefit both the game and the artist, increasing the artist's popularity, as it is a great advertisement. It shows the coming together of two media types, which is so common in video games, as many styles influence and are included in video games including movies and advertising as well.

Video games have also started the strategy guide business. strategy guides provide extensive information in the form of books, or online which provide great insight into the proper completion of a game's plot. Many companies now make strategy guides for the games which require them, such as Brady Games and Piggyback guides. These guides are usually applied to role playing games, as they commonly have a massive ammount of extras and things to collect.
