Video games need a processor, which has all the codes of the information that is going to be given in images. A processor controls all the functions of this game. It’s considered vital because with its absence the video games will never work.

A piece that is fundamental, it’s considered the translator of de information given by the processor is the graphic card. This card shows us all the symbols but in images, which makes it easier for the humans to understand what these symbols are. So basically the function of this card is simply to show these codes on the screen.

Important peripheral as for example the joystick. This peripheral elements helps to the main objective of having fun. Having this elements or accessories makes the purpose of the game more realistic. A peripheral is a piece that is added to a system in order to spread out its abilities.

Video games have changed from unrealistic to realistic. These qualities are thanks to the graphic card and processor, which are a major influence in video games.

In the past when the graphic card wasn’t that good, the image was simply and with a bad quality. As we can see on the left side this is an example of how old video games used to be like. Video games used to be simple and they weren’t realistic and didn’t show high levels of violence.

Now technological graphic card show violence in video games, this graphics are more realistic and this is affecting people’s behavior.

More realistic games produce more violence as is seen in figure one. There is a great difference between high violent games and low violent games. A scientific research says that 68% of students that play video games have a violent attitude. This is another way to prove that video games affects people behaviour.
