RPG Games: Friend or Foe

Let's start with the basics, what is an RPG game?
-It's a role playing game in which the participants assume the role of a fictional character and base the outcome of the game upon the decisions they make and their actions.
The next question on every parents mind would be: Are these games suitable for their children?
A fair question, I have to admit. And a question which, I'm afraid cannot be answered easily.

This is a type of game that requires a small amount of parental advisory, because some of the games contain a certain amount of blood bath and violence, and these games should not be allowed for children under the age of 16 or more, because the images that they contain are not a sight to be seen.
The shooting game category, or the horror and survival mode category are games that the children should avoid at all costs. The amount of shooting and killing in these games is enough to upset them and even cause nightmares. I know some of the parents out there know what I'm talking about.

But everything is not as black as it sounds, and RPG games are not made in hell. There are games that can be good for children. I know it sounds crazy, and hard to believe in but it's true.

The arcade games, adventure and fantasy games can really broaden the children's minds, show them new worlds, and even help them develop their fantasies.
And what is more important some of these games can even help the children to develop their hand eye coordination, their logic skills and even gives them an opportunity to think for themselves, to consider all options before choosing the best one.

But too much of everything is bad, so even if the game is right if the child spends too much time in front of the computer it can loose some of its social skills, but this is not an irreparable that cannot be solved, so with a little time control from the parents and with the right choice of game categories you can end up having your next best friend in RPG games, and have a well raised and healthy child.
