The Impact of Video Games | Media Information for Parents Video games are a unique form of entertainment because they encourage players to become a part of the game's script. Although video games have been available for more than 30 years, today's sophisticated video games require players to pay constant attention to the game.

This quality makes the video game industry a powerful force in many adolescent lives. However, studies also show that video games with violent content are linked to more aggressive behavior in teens.
