Call of Duty Modern Warfare

There are different schools of thought as to how one can become a "master" -- if not already, at playing video games.  The old adage, "Practice makes perfect" applies; however, there are some games that may help to lead one to become more expert at playing video games -- actually by simply playing more video games in different genres.

That being said, here are a list of games that are not listed in any order purported to enhance your video game playing skills:

Disclaimer:  This iist is by no means all inclusive.

Ico

1.  Ico (2001) -- A puzzle solving game for the PS 2 and PS 3 released in 2001 where you wander in a castle and try to find your way out.

2. Journey (2012) -- An artistic journey game  on PSN that you can complete in probably a 2 to 3 hour setting.  The draw of this game includes the sense of completing a video game in what can be considered a short time in video gameplay.

3. Portal (2007) -- Unique game play where you have a portal making weapon to shoot your way into openings and exits in a teleportal.

4. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 (2011)  -- War playing games, some of which are first person shooters can turn your thoughts to the ins and outs of war, as well as  why there are wars in the first place.  Of course the battle is part of the fun as well. (Pictured above).

5. Red Dead Redemption (2011) -- Opens you up to a open world environment where characters display a wide range of emotions.

The above is just the tip of the iceberg of the numerous video games available that provide you different experiences that may not only enhance your video game playing skills, but will leave you feeling entertained as well.
