In my personal opinion video games are popular because they entertain people.We enjoy this or other type of games.Boys like playing games about war or cars.Most girls like playing girly games like cooking or decorating their dream house.On the other hand some of them may like games about war as well.I think it’s special for everyone and there aren’t special gender games for only boys or girls to play.Video games can help learning new language,finding new friends and a lot more.
