This week I would like to talk about online games One of the newer online games is called COMBAT ARMS. COMBAT ARMS is a game that you can play on your computer with people from around the world. This game is based on the army and you get upgraded in rank, beginning with a trainee and a few supplies. Once you get enough “kills” under your belt you go up in rank. The more “kills” you get the higher in rank you go and then you can obtain more and better supplies and weapons. This game is not for me but it does help teach the players about the ranks of the army and the different weapons that are used.
This is a popular online game to play because you can be from Ohio and play with, or against, someone that lives in Tokyo, Japan. My sons just recently starting playing this game and I may not totally agree with this game, but they like the interaction and learning about the other parts of the world. You can communicate with the other players by using a microphone and actually talk to the other players from around the world.
My issue, with any and all online games, is that children and even adults these days are not getting the exercise that they need. They might get the interaction they need to get with talking and learning but that cannot replace the physical activities that people need to stay healthy.
