Nowadays, many people have access to computers on a wide basis and a large number of children play computer games.

Game evolve as the year passes game is one type sport that been played by various kind of age and gender. Game works by fulfill human desire that human cannot do in real world. As a children they always want to have fun because at that stage of age human are at the point that they want to enjoys their live with fun things. Due to games that have become more 3D and more realistic, it will make children become game addicted, spending more time to game rather than study and also this may lead to aggressive behavior. Firstly, one of the harmful effect of the video games is it will disturb children daily life style. Playing game continuously will bring them risk to become game addicted as they continue playing games without thinking anything's else that happen in their neighborhoods. Game has been said to be the childs best friends today. If not playing games they will plays PlayStation (PS) for a long day, as it they were living in their own world (Shaidah Shafie, 2008 as cited Gentile, 2009). They also would rather be accompany by game then chatting with friends, or even family members. The scenario is not only experienced in Malaysia, but worldwide (Johansson & Gotestam, 2004, as cited in Shaidah Shafie, 2008 ). Furthermore game addicted also will attribute to unwellness among children. Some researchers found that the influence of seizures or sudden attack especially the brain such as brain stroke (Graf & Funk, 2002). According to (Funk, 2002) the risk of video or computer games have relationship with seizures in sensitive individual photo. Beside that research committed abroad by a group of experts at the Academy of American Pediatric find long-term effects of game-based Play Station and PC for the same children, suffered with cancer will existed by heavy smokers (Krahe & Moller, 2004 & Shaidah Shafie, 2008). Next, in generally if children lack of participation in spending time for academic sessions it will harm them self. For example it will effect the student performance in school. Children that perform poorly at academy more likely to spend more time playing games, where they may feel a sense of mastery they eludes them at school(Anderson,2012). It also will effect their social life in their school. Addiction in the game will give some of them a bad influence such as in the interaction and socialization with peers become less. Research made by (Funk, 2002) reported that approximately 7% of the sample of children from age 11 to 16 years old play video games for more then an hour to six days a week or more.Other consequences that will arise is the

missing children social skills such as close relationships among peers because they do not have to play outdoors. Most feared, lost social responsibilities such as greeting when meeting with relatives, cousins, grandparents or family members should be respected because they only remembered to find space and time to settle the game play activity. Furthermore, their will be a change of their attitude when they playing to much games. Children will be easily lured to the violence environment. Funk (2012) state that when child has a behavior more aggressively pushed accidentally, then he will respond by pushing back because he never saw the incident while playing games. Gentile (2004), 98 per cent or more of pediatrician is considered these questions and in the United States. They believe that there is a negative impact on the exposure to violent media excessive invasion of childhood. There will also effect the ways of children thinking. Numerous research show that video games particularly one with violent content make teens more aggressive. Part of the increase in aggressive behavior is connected to the amount of time children spending time playing video games. According to Ballard and Wiest (1996) they are many violence action that can be found in a game, then it has a high potential to produce negative influence aggressive behavior in players. As a conclusion todays games have become more realistic, so that the children become addicted to game, this type of game also can lead to aggressive behavior, spending a lot of time to study the game more then study their books.
