Games: The Extensions of Man

Games have allowed us to interact in situations we wouldn't normally participate in. Although some people argue that games encourage us to become more violent, games let us express feelings through means other than violence. We resort to games often to rid ourselves of the world we live in. We see it as an escape from the pressures of every day lives. Many people play games in their spare time; I know of people who (including myself) come home from school and play games. It can be a way to just put aside schoolwork for a bit of time, and relax. (People often, get too carried away and end up playing for longer than a "bit" of time.)

I wonder whether shooter games are all about destroying the world we live in, before creating something new. One day we won't need them.

Hey, now your school work IS playing games. Is that good or bad?
