Dear students,
I am thrilled to write about video games because there is a generation gap among us, and also because video games  are not one of my priorities. But this is the wonderful challenge: I have to walk into unknown territory.
First, I had no idea there were different genres in video games, but thanks to your experience, and  to technology and Google, I discovered that there are many genres and, as in any typical taxonomy, there are principles for classification such as action, action-adventure, role-playing, simulation, and many others.
  If I have to choose one type, I will definitely choose simulation because I think this type can be used in learning.  And now I remember that when I was learning to drive, I and to practice in the simulator in order  to get control of the steering wheel, so I was playing video games!!!
Now I can see they can be very useful  and have a positive side.  And since I never play them, I have asked people why they like them. Here are some of their answer. They say they have fun. Others say they learn to compete with themselves and with other people. And many of them say they use video games to learn English.
Because I had to do a lot of research to write about video games, I want to share two useful sites where I found information. 
I look forward to reading what you will write.
