10 Games Kids Should Leave Off Their Christmas List
If you can ask yourself, “when was the last time you used the internet?” and you answered 5 minutes ago, then you must be one of those who can’t get themselves away from a computer. Well, studies shows that addiction to the World Wide Web is sort of frightening these days. Students cutting classes, employees hiding Facebook during their work hours, and parents too busy chatting to make dinner are signs of the alarm that’s been going on. The fun that internet life gives is undeniably incomparable but people are forgetting the fun that “outdoor” activities could give.
Teenagers love using the internet because every click on the mouse is a new discovery for them. Just like when I once passed on the words elisa kits and realized I was totally clueless on what it was, thinking it must be some kind of first aid kid or something. Excitement makes the teens giddy and eager to use the internet more, and the features a website gives only makes them more hooked, never to leave in front of their computers.
Actually, this is the main strategy of the sites on the web, keeping people hooked, and offering them new features so they would keep on coming back. Games, free stuffs and many more, of course these are totally tempting and irresistible and it will definitely pull in more people to the web. For people, something new is always something awesome, so no one can actually blame others if they get so addicted to it. Still, everyone should know the balance of the things they do, though indoor activities are less tiresome (like surfing the net), outdoor fun is much healthier for our bodies.
Outdoor activities give us exercise and a healthier immune system, why play Farmville when you can play volleyball with your friends and enjoy the sweat, the heat and the fresh air. Riding a bicycle with your family and eating with them in a picnic trip is a lot happier than spending countless hours leveling up on your online game. Who cares about elisa kits when you can spend time with other people watching movies, playing on the arcades, eating on the best restaurants and having group studies?
It’s not hard taking yourself away from the net as long as you know how to. You should know what you’re missing outside while you’re sitting and rotting yourself away inside your room and receiving all the radiation into your body. Using the computer and keeping you social internet life alive isn’t bad or isn’t even a crime, but people needs to realize that the fun isn’t only virtually. Personal interaction is still the best social activity there is, top one on the list.

Hmm, I’ve heard of all of the games from the “banned” list, but I haven’t played any of them. I would agree that some of them are a bit over the top gory, from what I’ve heard. On the other hand, Rock Band, Guitar Hero, and basically and EA Sports game are guaranteed hours of fun and are certainly suitable for teens.
As for the ratings, I put together a relatively simple article on the topic a couple of months ago here…

PARENTS!! please listen to me! I am a girl gamer, aged 21, and I see young children playing VERY violent games online that are mostly for people over 18, once I even saw a 6 year old! I hear the kinds of things your children say in those games and let me tell you it is HORRIBLE. I can finally understand why there is so much rape, torture, violence, and all this affecting your young kids. Once, I was playing a game on the internet on xbox and this 12 year old boy, told me he was going to F me in the A**, and rape me. a 12 YEAR OLD BOY. I play video games, but I am of age and I do not say horrible things to people and you need to watch you kids because they are turning into little monsters and you don’t even know it!
DONT BUY THEM XBOX LIVE UNLESS THEY ARE 17!!!!!!

I liked this blog. I also want to say something. There are too many 12 and 13 year olds a school near me and most of them own 1 or more M-rated games. Absolutely ridiculous. Same goes for their parents.
