Playstation Super Cheats

Often I am asked what I think about computer games ?

Often I am asked what I think about computer games, so I have put down my two pennies worth here for anyone who is interested.

I remember when I was about ten how I would play cops and robbers; personally I always liked playing the bad guy!

Normally just after Christmas or a birthday I would have additional caps for my tin gun.  I can still remember the thrill that short sharp pop-bang would make when I pulled the trigger and aimed it at an unsuspecting passerby in the street below my bedroom window.

On one particularly good day I managed to "kill" the milkman, the postman twice, 5 to 10 seagulls and the local cat at least nine times. Although I also recall how absolutely mortified I was later that day when my partner in crime, Andrew also aged 10, told me that "I 'didn't get him".

Although he was in point of fact, at point blank range!

("You didn't get me", he would shout, "I have my super invisible armour on.")

Well, the days of playing cops and robbers may now be few and far between for the children of today, I don't even recall the last time I saw a child dressed up as a cowboy or such like.

With the advent of Nintendo, PlayStation, XBox, and laser tag (Ha, take that Andrew just, try and wear your super invisible armour now!). Of course, I'm sure now Andrew would use a cheat code so he couldn't be hit, but that is beside the point.

Video games have become the pastime of today's youth, and will ultimately be the pastime of tomorrow's work force too. Video games are here to stay, but they are here to stay in different intensity and forms.

Possibly you're thinking that you don't want your child to sit around all day on his or her behind playing a game which requires only the full force of both their thumbs.

Perhaps their time would be much better served getting a bit of fresh air outside of the house?

I'll admit video games can be quite a violent medium, and you don't want to expose your child to inappropriate images, all be it computer generated.  I hear you, I understand and I agree with you. The thing is though, not all video games are about violence.

Although let us be very clear – video games are not toys, they do not allow for imagination which is the key to development.

Toys and play in general, are very important when it comes to learning about the world around.  Children use toys to discover their identity, help their bodies grow strong, learn cause and effect, explore relationships and practice skills they may use as adults.

Older young people use toys and play to form and strengthen social bonds, teach, remember and reinforce lessons, discover their identity, exercise their minds and bodies, explore relationships, practice skills and decorate their living spaces.

The computer game is merely a distraction, a cheap babysitter, a substitute carer if you will.

If you must buy a computer game, do not buy them from a toy store as you will end up wasting money; Spider-man 2 is 30 Euros at Toys World and 9 Euros at Games World – there is a clear lesson here folks, shop around.

So you decide to buy a computer game for your child, you may not be happy about it, but well, what can you do, all the kids seem to have them and you don't want to seem like an ogre do you?

Although before you reach the shop you need to set out some guidelines with your child; be firm about what games are acceptable and at what price.  Now many games do have aspects of violence so you need to decide up to what level you're willing to be flexible.  A bonus here is that larger gaming zones (shops) will have stations set up so you can watch the game being played.

So after some pesky pestering by the little cherub you agree to hand over your hard earned cash and the next thing your child is playing contently away in some room in the house.

Now the danger here is that you feel your job is complete.

If you are going to let them play video games then do show an interest in what's happening on the screen, don't just look at the monitor in passing and then walk off in revulsion when a bad guy is turned into goo. Try and find out the motives for the actions being played out on the screen and possibly talk through what's happening when they finish playing if you're concerned.

By talking with your child and of course depending on their maturity level, you should be able to come to some logical conclusions about what is happening on the screen and how they feel about the game.

If in doubt you can always replace the game with a non-electronic toy. I can highly recommend a family game of monopoly, or chess. Or my all time favourite, a cap gun and a visit to the park to shoot at the invisible tree monsters.
