5 Reasons Why You Should Play Video Games
1. Meet some new people
Not all gamers are pasty nerds who live in windowless bunkers. Gamers have lives. We’re normal people. So come join us for a game or two and toss away those silly stereotypes.
2. Blow off some steam
We’ve all had rough days at school or work. Those rough days make you want to explode with anger sometimes. Here’s a better idea: play a video game before the steam comes out of your ears.
3. Find out what all the fuss is about.
Video game companies rake in millions of dollars. Some video games have shattered entertainment sales records.
Have you ever wondered what makes these games so appealing? There’s only one way to find out.
4. You have heroic tendencies
The other day you thought about bashing down a house’s door to save a cat from a raging inferno that threatened to consume everything in its path. But then you chickened out.
Don’t bother looking for cats to save from burning houses. Instead, you can play as a plumber who saves princesses from castles and shoots fireballs from his hands.
5. Interactive storytelling and fun
Everyone loves a good story. You write, read and watch them on the big screen.
You can also play through a story in a video game. However, let’s be honest, great storytelling in video games is still rare. Right now, that storytelling is like an infant taking her first steps in the world. Sometimes that kid will fall and other times she’ll sail along.
You know what else? Many games have boring stories, but many are still fun to play.
How would you persuade someone to play video games for the first time?
