Video games are a popular extracurricular activity for students at all levels of study. They are an important part of a student's social life and are an enjoyable activity whether one is playing games alone or in a group. There has been a great deal of controversy over the effect that video games have on student's grades. Some claim that video games have a negative impact on students grades while others claim that playing video games has no effect on student's grades, no matter how frequently they play video games. However; neither of these arguments is completely accurate as whether or not playing video games affects your grades is influenced by other factors such as time and frequency of game play. It can be hypothesized that spending more than 10 hours per week playing video games can have a negative effect on student academic performance. However; playing less than ten hours per week will have little if any affect on academic performance.
