Video Games as a Outstanding Hobby
Surrounded by many of my notable hobbies, going out, spending time on the computer, sports, reading , music, etc there is one that stands out amongst the rest. On my free time I casually play computer, video, and/or casual games. Videogames are played for the sake of entertainment. Whether they are played on a television or a computer they still attract millions of people to take part in this activity every day. In fact they are one of the most popular leisure activities in the world. By playing a simple game maybe 30 minutes to 1 hour a day can vastly improve your thinking skills (Russell). By simple game I mean a game that is very easy to learn but incredibly hard to master. Games like Solitaire and Tetris.

This period is filled with advances in technology that enables more realistic and immersive experiences for gamers.(Stahl). Video games of all sorts are a 10-billion dollar industry and is continuing to grow.
