How much is the computer game industry to blame for increased levels of obesity in the community, particularly among children? |
|
There is no evidence to show that video gaming is a major specific cause of obesity.
|
|
|
|
Is it true that playing computer games is anti-social? |
|
No, multiplay gaming is a social activity (usually in internet cafes, or LAN groups which are not unlike other hobby/interest groups). Individual gaming should be done in moderation, same as one would hope television is watched within reason (not to extremes).
|
|
|
|
What is the benefit of playing computer games over say watching a video? |
|
The 'interactive' nature of gaming products enables that the storyline is not a forgone conclusion, as it is in movies.

I've downloaded a video and it doesn't have sound or image when playing. What am I doing wrong? |
|
Some newer videos are encoded in new video CODECs. CODECs are used to decompress video and audio so it works normally on your PC when playing. Because of this, you may need to update to the latest version of the following players to get some videos to work if they are not already doing so.
Divx Player and Codec. This will update your Windows Media Player
Quicktime Movie Player. This is a stand alone player.
Windows Media Player.
We try to encode all our movies so they work in Windows Media Player so that you will not have difficulties seeing the best image and sound quality.
If you download a movie that doesn't work and have updated the players listed above, please contact techsupport.sg@atari.com
