Why should kids play shooting games?

We all can easily agree that all children love to play video games of any genre. While some games can be freely described as educational, there are many games that seem that could cause negative influence to those young people since there is too much violence and blood. In this group of games are outlined mostly the shooting games by reason that the main goal in this games is killing people and what can be educational in that? The experts look little bit different on this point. According to them the process of shooting is just a manner through which are achieved other goals, and the same goes for every type of game. The theme of the game is used to make it more attractive or more challenging but its own concept gives the effect. So what is actually the factor that makes those games good leisure time? -Problem solving skills are one of the most important and most valuable skills in this time, far more valuable then memorizing certain facts and formulas which can be easily located in this age of digital information. The biggest part of the games is based on this principle, to shoot the enemy you’ll have to make a certain strategy first (shoot with certain order, measure the distance…) -Good games are demanding but they are not frustrating. The designer of the game managed to make the game hard but he wants you to learn the controls, not to give up. You may be not so precise at the beginning but the game will urge you to be more persistent and develop your shooting skills. -By playing free shooting games (and all kinds of games in general), kids get to know that failing is not such a bad thing. Failing few times is necessary to achieve success and in the games the risk factor is low with trying new solutions and quests, so the kids are free to experiment and try different options what is also a great thing. -In the games kids can easily realize what areas they need to improve in, to advance in the game. For example someone is good at shooting but is not so fast. Again kids focus on improving themselves, without any frustration. -Some people say that gamers are geeks or loners but the pure fact that they have some interest in life and this interest helps them increase their social interaction with peers around something they are passionate about. Those facts are the benefits of playing games and as you see they are things that are very important in the process of development of every person. However, all people are different and always there is a chance someone to focus more on the negative side of the things, consciously or unconsciously. In this case the side effects of playing those games could be: becoming too aggressive, spending too much time playing and forgetting about real life like school, friends and family; but since we are talking about kids, the parents are the ones that take the responsibility to direct them on the right way.
