REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter present the literature and the studies relevant presentation investigation.
Carey (2012) found out that the history of online gaming included contributions by many
different companies and entitles. Online gaming began as multiplayer gaming, but has involved
to include online gaming servers and massively- multiplayer online games settings. Stated by
Hassan(2011), online gaming is good and bad. Good for those who know their limits and bad for
those who fix themselves in the seats for long hours and cut off interaction with rest of the world.
According to the study of Chang (2009), Online gaming was referred to as internet
gaming or electronic gaming. It was a gathering of players with the common game using local
area network(LAN) where they could be on the same settings. The players seem to be in a real
situation that they use their mouse or keypads to move in the monitor, they virtual world.
Hall(2005) Sade that online gaming has become increasing popular over the pass few years. Both
Orzack (2004) and French (2002) found out that internet search for “gaming addiction” yields
list physical and psychological symptoms from dry-eyes and carpal tunnel syndrome to
“problems school or work”, offered as indicative of problem usage bavior.
Most people relate online games to student’s behaviour. Through the years, studies
have yielded different result. Some of them say that are correlated when some say that they not.
According to Anderson and Dill (2000), there is a negative correlation between the two. Thus,
meaning that there is no relation between the number of hours played by a player and his/her
grades. At times, the student defend the games they are playing by saying that they do to learn
something from it. A paper from EDUCUASE backs this students up by suggesting that the
faculty learn and know about online games, so as to help students in class learning experience
(Hitch and Duncan, 2005). Furthermore, another paper claims that this games are not just for
entertainment (Shaffer , squire, Halverson, and Gee 2005).they claim that these games may be
used to learn and experience different things and interact with other people and belong to a
virtual community.

FOREIGN
Online games have both positive and negative effects on people, especially students.
One of the negatives is this, many cases among students are addiction, and this
addiction may lead to worse problems. The students might steal money, they may become lazy
when it comes to studying and prefer playing the whole day long. Some may even skip school in
order to have more playing time. (Sujat Ali Hamzah).

Addicted gamers spend so much time playing that their personal relationship get
neglected and sometimes disappear altogether. Among addicted gamers who are married, up to
50% report a strain in their married as a result of their addiction. Addicted gamers also
neglected; the responsibilities of ever day life choose as a school and work, (UNC-OASIS). In
the world of today, there are different genres of online games. First are the console games. Are
more commonly referred to as a video games, they are played on a device specially made for
game played called a video games console. The player interacts with the game through a
controller, a hand held device with buttons and joysticks or pads. Video and sound are received
by the gamer though a television. Example of consoles include the Microsoft Xbox, Sony play
station, Nintendo Game cube, and Nintendo Wii. Second are the real time strategy games. This
is a type of video game in which players exercise strategy along the way, typically to conquer
enemies and reach a final destination without being addicted, for example, to win. players decide
which routes to take, what needs to be done and how to do it. Contrast with first person shooter.
Third are the cross platforms online games. Developing software for, or running software on,
more than one type of hardware platform. The most universal cross platform application is the
browser.
LOCAL STUDIES
According to Philippine communications by Maslog C. of 1998, one social problem
that has been observe is that internet cafe has became mainly game centers . About one-half to
two thirds of the computer in a typically internet café, according to the study, are devoted to
games (violent and glory games). The of the remaining computers was roughly split between
browsing, email, online chat, word processing and research. The internet café will become not
just game center. They are becoming centers of addiction among the youth, mostly boys
including elementary school pupils. According to one concern internet café entrepreneur, internet
café are seducing youths to a new form addiction one which may not destroy their bodies as
drugs do, but, which certainly twististing their minds to the young, pay is reality and reality is
play.
