Some people play games on a personal computer. They use the keyboard to play. Or they connect a guiding device called a joystick （操縱桿）.
Other people play on a video game system called a console which they connect to their television. Still others like to play games on small, handheld （控制臺(tái)） devices. Or they go to arcades to play on free-standing game machines.

The world of video games combines special effects, music, language and images. The best games have clear, colorful graphics. The images move at high speed with a depth similar to real life. Some have first-person perspective （透視）. This means you experience the action as though living it yourself. Some people play games online （在線）. They might compete over the Internet against players on the other side of the world.
Some people play electronic games for money. More than seven hundred international gamers recently took part in the final competition of the World Cyber Games （世界電子競技大賽） in Singapore （新加坡）. They played for a share of the four hundred thirty-five thousand dollars in prize money.

Many players like games based on sports. The Madden series, for example, is very popular. These are named for television football commentator （評論員） John Madden, a former coach. And players have been known to spend hours playing games developed from spy films like the James Bond movies.
People who like frightening movies may also like a game series called “Resident Evil.” Players say the games make them feel like they are living inside their own horror film （恐怖電影）. In fact, two films have already been based on the series. “Resident Evil” became popular with a storyline about a company that makes a virus （病毒）. Victims infected with the virus turn into the undead and eat other people.

Many gamers are buying the newly released “Peter Jackson's King Kong.” In this game, the huge gorilla terrorizes humans just as he will in the new “King Kong” movie directed by Peter Jackson. It opens nationwide on December fourteenth.
A popular shooting-game series called “Doom” led to an action film that opened in November. The movie “Doom” stars Dwayne Johnson, the professional wrestler （摔跤選手） and actor known as “The Rock.”
But the video game that sold best in two thousand four was “Grand Theft Auto： San Andreas.” It was strongly criticized （指責(zé)）, however, because of hidden sexual images. Stores temporarily removed the game from sale. Now only adults can buy the version that still has those images, but not many stores are selling it.
