Games have been around as long as history itself, beginning with board games, wrestling, and puzzles. Once computers were built a whole new market for games was created. This marked the beginning of the video game era, starting with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Higinbotham|William Higinbotham]]'s "Tennis for Two," programmed in 1958. Today there are thousands of different video games creating market competition and strict censorship within countries.

===== Personal Gaming Computers =====
Not only did video games change the way we spend time in front of the computer, but it changed the way we build them. Today, personal computers are bench-marked against each other using video games. A computer is now said to be better than another if it is able to run a video game smoother than the competition. Since computer companies rely heavily on the gaming community, it has pushed them to develop better computer components before their competitors.
