			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For a very long time games have been unfairly criticized for a very long time as they have been seen as turning people into couch potatoes and discouraging real physical activity. The main criticism against games are that there is no physically opponent and there is no social relations that are being developed. </p>
<p>Another porblem mentioned regularly is that players play at all times of the day and that this disrupts their sleeping patterns a lot. There are however many things that players of all ages can learn from the many video games out there. It is reported that games can actually improve and help to develop certain skills in the players and this has been proving by testing various different games. Some of the combat games for example like Metal Gear and Full Spectrum Warrior envolves real life war tactics and tests your strategic and logical planning. </p>
<p>Civilation and even games like Simcity teaches you how to manage a large number of people and look after their welfare. There are other games that teach you basic family values and you advance by keeping your family happy and running a clean house. These games leave a lasting impression and they are easy to relate to for those playing. These games can usually also be played by kids. Some of the most interesting games are ones like Tactical Iraqi where you get to learn the language and find out about the culture and preferences of another society. This is a much more interesting way of learning cultural sensitivity than sitting in a boring lecture. </p>
<p>There are a few interesting differences between schools and games that warrant a closer look. On the gaming site there is a focus on performance before competence. Unlike in schools, players learn to do things instead of only reading about how to do it. In most instances kids will only read about the many interesting things happening in the world around them, but never have a chance to experience it hands on. This also rings true for very simple games like forklift games or even 3 in a row games. The children in schools are under constant pressure to perform, where in a gaming environtment they are encouraged to explore and try new techniques. This gives them such a boost in terms of logical problem solving and intellectual growth and it can only benefit them in their adult lives. </p>
<p>In your life you will be faced with loads of different choices and it is very important that you make the right ones, but just as important that you make the necessary changes if you have mad a wrong choice. When playing video games you are constantly faced with making decisions and having to live with the results. The way in which games are similar to real life is uncanny. You have to train your mind in decision making, but in video games you can learn how to make better decisions much faster. Something often overlooked is the time and dedication shown by children to learn how to master a game by spending time and effort to learn to be better at it. If there is a way that the powers that be can learn to integrate playing games into school work there it is logical that children would spend more time on their school work.</p>
<p>There many types of games that can have this effect and there are some you can play at Skillpod.com at no cost, like <a href='http://www.skillpod.com/game-info/521'>forklift games</a> and <a href='http://www.skillpod.com/games/Online-Games/3-in-a-Row'>3 in a row games</a></p>
