In my point of view, online games are bad if people become addicted to them but if you are aware that you can´t spend much time on this, it can be good. I don´t like online games, I prefer walkING around with my friends or family, doING physical exercise or watchING my series. I think that people that spend much time on the computer are wasting time that can be used on other more aPPEALING things . On THE one HAND, people that are SHYER can make friends in aN easier way but, on the other hand, if they still don't talk and interact with other people, they have to do some exercise to lose this habit./CHANGE THIS
Finally, I think that we should do some tests about this subject because, I think that more and more people are completely addicted to thESE games nowadays.

In my opinion, online games do not have many positives aspects , it is something that I do not like much.
Although studies prove that online games increase concentration and are a good help to create good friends, I think they only serve to distract , and lose WASTE social life OPPORTUNITIES.
Spending many hours in front of a computer impairs our health, especially vision.
In conclusion, I think that playing sometimes does IS not bad, but WE should be aware of the consequences and know when to stop.

I really like online games and it's one of the things I do when I'm not in school. Playing is fun, fantastic ... etc in addition to being something that today NOWADAYS almost everyone does. We can also play with other people and this makes my day-to-day happier. Playing also makes us learn many things, including words, making our vocabulary cooler. Honestly, I can not find disadvantages to the games because they are part of my life.

Nowadays online games have become more and more popular. And the age group that most often entertainS themself ITSELF with computer games are teenagers. And like we all know there are some positives and negative effects.

On THE one hand, you can make many friends from any part of the globe. And you can even learn other languages with them.

On the other hand, it can be dangerous if you don’t protect your personal information from strangers or hackers, and if you don’t take attention to the time you spend in front of the screen. You can become very addicted, start losing the sense of time and on extreme cases stop sleeping.

Online games are a good way of entertainment but we must play them occasionally and alternate it THEM with other  activities outside.

I don't like online games, but these games has HAVE positive and negative consequences.
With online games we can make new friends and spend time, but it can be very addictive, in more serious cases people stop eating or just eat fast food for do not TO wastE time and stop gaming.
They lost WASTE so much time playing that they leave to have STOP HAVING a social life. Being so long time in front of A computer can affect vision. Somes games are for adults, plus  eighteen, because it THEY contains violence or sex...
In conclusion, we have to know how to play and control the time to play, so as not to affect study hours.

My experience playing online games is very little ,not just because I prefer to spend my time doing other things , but also because I have some dificulties when it comes to makING computers cooperate with me.
Nevertheless ,I have my opinion about them, I think that they can be a fun way FOR people who love playing TO spend dead FREE hours, and the diversity of games that are in our rich REACH in the internet is huge .
Sometimes online games can be a way to improve our english English talking to other people from all parts of the world, but it´s also very dangerous because we never now who is talking with us in ON the other side of the computer, it can be anyone including hackers that can steal our information or grown-ups that pretend to be our age just to talk to us...
Because of this risk we have to be careful and always think in OF possible situations and consequences of our time in the ON online games.

I really like to play online games, I think that they are a really good way to get some problems out of our heads or just relaxing. So, online games helped improvEing my English reading skills, I think that I have been influenced by my uncle in the fact of liking this subject. I actually made a lot of good friends that have the same taste LIKES as I do.
But I know that there are several bad aspects about online gaming. Like ''wasting'' toO much time in front of a computer and getTING too addicted to it, but these are just the lower risk problems. The ones that I find more risky are the losS of the privacy, by making a ''fake friend'' online, losing the contact with family or friends and taking games toO seriousLY.
So, sometimes we have to leave the virtual world and maybe come across some challenges and get some advices from the ones we trust.

With the developMENT of technology, the ways of entertainment have been also developing. A good example of these THIS developments are online games which are becoming more and more popular. Nevertheless, THOUGH they were created to entertain, they are some negative aspects.
On THE one hand, playing online games is really funny: you can play with your friends and play any type of game you want. Furthermore, it is very accessible; a few clicks are enough to reach any game.
On the other hand, it can be very addictive. In case of serious addiction, it makes people forget their responsibilities, lose contact with the people they cherish the most or make them tired because of the lack of sleep- they don't care about ANY other thing but the game.
ANOther aspect that is troublesome are the online friends. It makes people believe that they aren't alone when, in the reality, they are. Besides, meeting people who you know just by FROM the internet, IT is very dangerous because it could be a kidnapper.
In a nutshell, online games were invented FOR to people TO enjoy THEM; however, if you don't be AREN'T careful, they can be very dangerous.

Online games has HAVE positive and negative consequences, and in my opinion there are more negative than positive ONES.
In AS TO the positive consequences you can make new online friends and maybe you can get smartter because of game strategies, and online games are also a good pastime to relax with online friends... or not.
I say "or not" because you can get stressed too, when you lose or when the game is crashing and this is the one of the bad things, that are . YOU CAN also getting too addicted to the games, you can get sedentery and anti social, you can stoped the studies STUDYING to play and you get bad marks and it can affect your future.

Personally I like some online games, but now I do not play. Online games, in my opinion, have many good things, like SUCH AS we can talk to other people around the world, make new friends and we can have fun. But it also has many cons, such as excessive spending of time playing, many people become addicted and then they become antisocial, sedentary, don´t eat properly and they start gaining weight.They can also be targets of someone because often they do not know who the people they are playing with ARE. In conclusion, if we play safely and if we control the time we play online, online games can be very fun.

I really like online games. I play a lot of them in my free time. I think that, in a way, they are good since they entretain entertainus and we can even learn with some of them. We can also meet people around the world that play the same game.
In another way, they can be bad if we play them too much. We can become addicted and stop having a social life and real life friends just to play the game. Some games also expose us to violence or +18 content.
Finaly, I think online games are good IF we know how to manage our time playing them.

I'm not a huge fan of online games (or games in general), so my opinion will be based on things that i've heard or read.
I think online games are a great tool of communication, you can talk to anyone from anywhere in the world. Also, they are a fun way to get out of the boredom.
But there's a lot of cons, in which one of them is being the extreme addiction that can lead to sleep deprivation and get low marks at school. And you can get hacked or stalked by obsessed people or criminals.
Overall, online games can be great but they have their dark side, too.
