I was a critic of video games at first. I was never much good at them so I never spent much time playing them. My sister, however, is very active in the gaming world. She is a very strong advocate for the encourage of video game play in and out of the classroom. Part of my speculation against video games had largely to do with the video games that I did know about. The only ones I'd heard about were Assassin's Creed, Resident Evil, and Call of Duty. To me, these games were...stupid, for lack of a better word. Of course, I would not tell you to use these games in the classroom. I am merely suggesting that a deeper look be taken at video games before placing judgment on the games, as well as those who play them.
