Video games are one of the biggest ways in which people all over the world connect and engage with each other socially. Its seems strange and almost sad that it takes a metal box with a few well placed wires to get humans communicating openly (sometimes a little TOO openly).
Consoles come in many different shapes and sizes from little handheld devices like a Gameboy colour to a desktop computer. Videogames as a New media now outsell Hollywood movies and are the most popular computer based medium. They are a mass medium, a constant example of this is the EA sports FIFA football games, of which a new edition is created and released every year for the new footballing season.
Videogames allow the player to cross into an imaginary world and live as a character in the game. The virtual reality that is created is what makes videogames so popular.
