Do You Get Addicted to Computer Games?

 ... games comes of me, and the millions of others who spend hours of their lives glued to the PC. Maybe it is the fact that you can be a different person on screen than what you are in real life. Maybe what we all crave in some form or another, is escapism, and a PC game allows for that. But then is my "addiction" so differnt from any other "addiction" that is out there, and maybe not recognised as such. For example is the girl spending all her money on new clothes, the newest hair styles, and all the ...more

Some people have "addictive personalities", if they enjoy something it quickly becomes an obsession - until the next thing comes along. I am one of these people, and I have been addicted to computer games on and off since I got an Atari 800xl and a copy of "River Raid" as a kid. I have had hours of fun from playing games,and when I consider the amount of time I have spent playing games, and consider how much they cost, they are actually much better value for money than some other forms of entertainment - like DVDs for example. I have had some negative experiences as a result of overdoing it with the gaming though. I am almost ...  Read the complete review

Having seen this topic, I felt compelled to start typing again – as it’s been a while since I’ve consistently put new ops or reviews up for quite a while (so much for THAT New Years Resolution!). This is definitely a subject matter that I have more than a passing interest in. I wouldn’t go as far as to say that I’m ADDICTED to video/computer games… that to me seems a very strong word. I am absolutely certain that video games like so many other things out there in the world can become a serious addiction to some. I would however, like to consider my liking for video games only that. A LIKING. I agree that I like them a lot and in all honesty probably ...  Read the complete review

Computer games are so powerful with their stories, action, graphical features, sound effects and originality (in most cases). They can occupy an individual for many ...  Read the complete review
