Network games: spending leisure with benefit or avoiding reality?

Modernity divides the world of man into two categories: the one in which he is present, and the one where he is absorbed in virtuality. Well, if people on the Internet do something useful, even ask their friends about their affairs or are interested in plans. But there is also such an element, where we all simply kill time, and it is called "network games".

You can not deny that to be someone else, for example, a fearless warrior, a good magician or a mad racer wants every person. And network games are one of the few areas that can provide this opportunity to people. Many argue that excessive infatuation with virtuality is detrimental to us, and they are right. However, individual games can also benefit if you spend an hour or two in spare time. Consider the most popular genres in this area: race, shooter and strategy.

Few people will argue that there is no more famous racing game than "Need for Speed". A certain time spent in this virtual world, improves human response and coordination. And the essence of "Thirst for speed" is simple - the user only needs to overtake all whom he will only meet. During the conquest of cities, of course, he will need to improve his car. This also has a positive effect on the development of the player, because he begins to study the structure of the car. That's why "Need for Speed" attracts mostly boys. It is worth noting that the orientation in the space on the race tracks is also developing.

Now let's move on to strategies. These network games have long been widespread. For two, you can run the application without even using the second computer. This mode is called "hot-sieve". Consider in this category "HOMM", or, as many call it, "Heroes". The strategy is step-by-step, has a thoughtful plot and colorful realistic graphics. A distant ancestor of "Heroes" is chess. And not just. In the game from the very beginning, two or more opponents are given equal conditions. And the winner is not one who is strong or has a quick reaction, but one with a developed logic. In "Heroes", as in many other games, every force will be confronted. And there is no race, castle or warrior that would have been better than the rest. Consequently, the free time spent in the world "HOMM", flies by imperceptibly and with advantage.

Well, now let's talk about the shooters, whose bright representative is the "Quake" series. All the network games related to it, won the love of users even ten years ago. And till now children, teenagers and adults like to shoot in aliens or in each other. A distinctive feature of all network games of this nature - they do not benefit the person in terms of its development. However, we can not say that they are completely useless. Extermination of a large number of evil opponents allows a person to relieve tension. One hour spent in the game after a busy day, will help not to break down on relatives.

Thus, network games for two or more people are not just a pleasant pastime, but also useful. Of course, if such activities do not grow into a mania. The development of reaction, logic and stress removal through the extermination of evil monsters - all this, of course, has a beneficial effect on a person.
