Computer games are good

Some organisations believe that kids who spend a long time sitting in front of their computers or games consoles playing games all night long is a bad thing. But on the other hand there is another thought that some games can do kids good.

The is an event running by games developers and the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA), it has been named Faith and Gaming. This is where the industry can provide positive feedback on how gaming is moving and what they can do to counter the negative image.

Even more surprisingly is that the church were represented there and in fact gave the thumbs up for games as they see them as being able to show youngsters how to counteract with people and build communities, a good move indeed.
