Why I think Video Games are Good

I personal think video games do not cause aggressive violence. In fact researchers have proven children with ADHD or that can not pay attention will play games for 9 straight hours on the computer. The game helps focus their attention in ways school doesn't. Games can also help improve visual skills. Game players age 18 to23 can monitor whats around them more than people who don't play or those who don't play. Really I think video games have some positive and some negative effects.
