Does Gaming Really Bring Happiness And joy or is it just another escape route away from depression and loneliness ?
Usually when i feel down i go to friends house's for them to cheer me up and have never relied on gaming to make me feel better .
Of course people usually game for boredom but i am not talking about that!
Any views welcome.

When I play Dead or Alive Beach Volleyball, I'm quite happy.

I remember beating a pig in some Nintendo game, the name of which escapes me. This was so, so, so much fun that I have never really experienced happiness playing games ever since.

My favourite games of the moment is "Google Adwords", but it's more difficult to beat than the pig.

Don't think I've used games to try and make myself happy, just seems a byproduct of playing them. Multiplayer games with friends/family are probably best at generating happiness too and that's probably more to do having a laugh with them then the game itself.
