Computer games are very popular especially in teenage. Somebody spends a lot of times to play it. Somebody doesn�t learn and doesn�t to work because they want to play it but somebody has enough responsibility to control himself to play computer games. You can play computer games together with your friends by modem on Internet so you can play at your home or Internet caf?. You can play it all times. Opinion: I think it depends on behavior of each people if you spent a lot of times to play it surely, it destroys your money, eyes and your health. But if you have enough responsibility to control yourself therefore it can help you to relax and sometimes you can get some idea from it so I think it could be both create or destroy. It�s up to you. Then what do you think about it.

Computer games are good if you can control to play. You can do a lot of thing in it. But I know there are some demerit for players' health. I think playing games depends on players' will.

The only bad thing in games are graphics . Because the new games have a very detailed graphic wich requires a very powerfull video card like a GeForce 4 MX or superior like GF Titanium or FX , Ati RADEON starting from RADEON 9000 or RADEON 9700 wich costs very much ( 300� - 600� Shocked )
the last game released by EA sports is fifa 2003 .in my opinion is very beautiful but is very bad simulated wich is not so pleasant but i play it a lot because is the only one that reaches the top .Another bad thing is that the commentary is very annoying because it repeats the same phrases very often .
A vey beautiful game that i liked a lot is HALO .As you know is an action game ( FPS ) . It has very beautiful graphics and gameplay . Another beautiful game is RED FACTION wich is a great game of action. Razz Arrow

:I agree with you,but in fact,everyone love to play computer games,adults didn't do that because that's childish and they are too busy, they would be laughed at if they do so.my mother never play computer games,but she is glad to watch us children playing,and want to have a try.she also thinks the computer games are really interesting.I know how to control myself,and i like it very much.such as'half-life CS','DIABLO','fortress2' are my favourite games.

Very Happy I like to take free time mostly with the computer games. Because it can help me about feel comfort from learning. I like to play the games, such as RED ALERT, BATTLE REALMS. Some people think game computer will do feel bad, but I don�t think that with game computer. Computer game is the start causes knowledge the computer. It�s taken free time for useful and increase creates skill. However the game computer there are disadvantage, if player can�t to take time out rightly which it maybe is don�t successful about learning. Mr. Green

Very Happy I like play games when I want to relax. I think today's computer games especially action games are things that most utilize your computer performance, except you are working as programmer or working with CAD/CAM. A lot whole realistic graphics are rendered realtime. I remembered that when I was 8. Games came with EGA 16 color, 2D graphics and very low resolution. I played on my first 386 computer. Do you know ? That time, a single 386 machine running full performance at least 3 hour to render 1 minutes of today's games grahpics. Shocked. So I like to play it and I like watching new technologies in games.

But, in my country don't have any laws to control rate of games or time to play in the game center for children like in some countries. Sometimes I found some students skip school to play games, 8 years old studeny play violence action games. They could not allow to play it. Rolling Eyes

we like too COUNTER-STRIKE , because it's fun. We recently purchased Age Of Mithlogy , a wonderful game of strategy , but it requires a powerful graphics card because it has very high quality graphics even though it' s a strategy game . I have a GeForce MX 440 graphics card that is good for my games . I would like to purchase a new video card more powerful than the one that I have now , it's a Ati RADEON 9000 that costs 130 $ .
But now we don't spend our time for playing games but I spend time cracking the games that is very simple . It takes a minute ,all you need are the cracking tools . [/img]

Hi topolino

I also enjoy playing game a lot, especially strategy game Razz . I have a complete series from Age of Empire to Age of methology. But that is not what i am interested about. You were mentioning about cracking a game? I just want to know more about it, it seem so vague right now. I like working with code, and probably going into the field of computer science for my study. However, i had very little clue about getting into the lower level of operating system. What exactly do u crack and what are the necessary tools? Wink
