Video Games

Video games are interactive electronic games that involve the use of a user interface to generate visual feedback on a two- or three-dimensional display device, such as a computer monitor, television screen, or handheld device. Players engage with the game by controlling characters or elements within the game through input devices like controllers, keyboards, or touch screens. Video games encompass a wide range of genres, including action, adventure, role-playing, simulation, sports, and puzzles, among others.

The primary characteristic of video games is interactivity, allowing players to make decisions that affect the game’s outcome. They can be played solo or in multiplayer settings, and often include various objectives, challenges, and narratives. Video games can be distributed through physical media, downloads, or streaming services, and their development often combines components of art, storytelling, technology, and design. Over the years, video games have evolved significantly, incorporating advanced graphics, sophisticated narratives, and immersive experiences through virtual and augmented reality technologies. They have become a significant part of contemporary entertainment culture, influencing various aspects of society, including social interaction, education, and the arts.
