Video games are an incredibly popular source of entertainment for people ranging in age from as young as three to as old as 93. It really doesn’t matter how young or how old you are to be able to enjoy video games and the friendly competition they can offer to gamers. People can play video games on their video game system at home against someone from China or England if they wanted to. Most video game systems available for purchase today include an Internet feature that allows the gamer to connect with other gamers worldwide and play against them.

The video game that has made friendly competition so popular is the Madden Series. John Madden recently retired from calling football games as a color analyst on television but his legend will forever live on with the Madden series of football games released each year in late August. There are tournamnets held all throughout the country at gaming stores, public venues, colleges, universities, people’s houses and high schools using these Madden games to find the best Madden player around.

Other video games that spur friendly competition are all sports games, racing games, war games, puzzle games and many more genres of games. Video games are said to be ruining America’s youth because kids come home from school and don’t want to run around outside with their friends. Instead they want to sit inside and play video games all day. Well, some of these games require a high level of intellect to play and win, especially when playing against another person instead of the system.
