Video games are good for everyone. It helps relieve pain or stress. If you had a tough day at school, work or anywhere, then playing video games might just do the work to help you rest and give you an enjoyable time. Video games can be a good influence on anyone because it brings joy and brings family and friends together. 
Also it can be helpful because playing fast paced games make you brighter as you learn to thing faster. Puzzle games and other educational games are really helpful to children because they become smarter. I believe any type of game can be good, for example as I play hunting games I learn how it's done, I learn how a tranquillizer works and other stuff; when I am playing sport games or other I learn the rules to that game; when I am playing shooting games I learn how to defend yourself , which means you are learning new things as you play different games and technology doesn't stop so you never stop learning. Also as the technology expands you learn the concept of using new tecnologies which helps you get smarter as you figure out ways to entertain yourself the way you want. Portable video games are amazing for example if you are having a tough time working and really need a brake then portable video games are great to give you a time out. Going on a field trip or a family vacation, you will eventually get bored but if you have some kind of entertaining system with you that keeps you entertained then you might not feel bored, and video games kill bordem. Everyone likes video games, but not everyone likes every type of video games, that's because people want to entertain themselves the way they want and having a lot of video games on this planet keeps everyone happy, whoever gets to play it.
