Cool facts
Controller magic. You use controllers, keyboards, or even your fingers on a touchscreen to tell the game what to do, and the game shows you what happens next on a screen.
Sights and sounds. Video games use both pictures and sounds together to make the experience more exciting and real, kind of like watching a movie you can control.
Audio feedback. Sometimes games play sounds through speakers or headphones, and some even give you physical feedback so you can feel vibrations when something happens in the game.
Portable gaming. You can play video games on almost anything, TV screens, computer monitors, handheld devices like phones, or even special virtual reality headsets that put you inside the game world.
Playing together. Some games let you use a microphone or webcam so you can chat with friends while playing, or even share your gameplay live with people watching online.
