6. BACKGROUND OF THE TOPIC
The video gaming trend is accelerating its pace leaving behind movies
and television.
With an ever-growing number of smartphone users expected to go over
5 billion in 2018 (considering the world’s population is 7.6 billion), it is
no wonder social and casual mobile games win wider audiences.
With the plethora of devices developed, a gamer simply plugs his
mobile phone into the docking station connected to a large screen and
enjoys the game as if it was launched on a PC.
in fact, great technologies and software for PC gamers and for mobile
game fans are set to arrive in the nearest future.

1. Do video games help develop skills? What mental or physical skills
do they help players to develop?
2. What is your favorite all-time game? Why was it great?
3. Do video games help develop skills? What mental or physical skills

5. It seems that most video game players are male. Why do boys like
video games more than girls do?

10. LITREATURE REVIEW
The PC gaming industry is now shifting from 1080p
resolution to 4K resolution and even with the rapid
development of mobile gaming, it still can’t compete with
the graphical power of a PC.
The industry of PC gaming is cooking a more innovative
way to not just offer a more convenient and efficient way
for PC gamers to interact but to also flop the mobile
gaming prices.
11. In the meantime, mobile gaming easily wins this comparison
with flying colors, especially if we take into account the game
price to hardware category
Most smartphone devices today, regardless of what make or
model, is more or less compatible with a huge number of mobile
games – even the upcoming ones. Gaming on a PC, however,
requires specific hardware to play the latest games smoothly.
12. RESEARCH
METHODOLGY
Digital games have evolved into diverse forms, and
they touch many different areas of life in contemporary
society.
When approached together with the associated playful
and serious behaviors, they profit from several
research methodologies.
This collection of articles introduces a range of
research methodologies and aims to promote
interdisciplinary dialogue in the study of games.
13. QUALATATIVE THEORY
This study focuses on the role of gaming
expectancies, motives and the experiences of
gamers in the development of video game
behavior, from normal to problematic
behavior.
Qualitative interviews were conducted among
21 male gamers between 17 and 28 years of
age, to get more of an insight into their
excessive gaming patterns
14. . Participants were recruited in several ways such as
by distributing flyers and posting messages on
gaming websites.
Participants were included if they were between 14
and 26 years of age and if they had experienced
game related behavior problems at the time of the
study or in the past. Two processes emerged from the
results that seem to contribute to the transition to an
excessive gaming pattern.
16. CONCLUSIO
N
The idea behind mobile gaming competing on the
same (or at least close) level with PC gaming is still
far-fetched – but is not impossible.
Technology is still young and huge developments are
still paving their way. Asking which is the better
gaming platform is still subjective, but performance-
wise, PC is still superior.
