...do we love games so much?
I know this has most probably been done before, but I don’t remember it, so I am posting it again :-)
The reason I love games so much is because I am entering a new world. Take any RPG for example. You are taken away from boring old Earth and into a different planet altogether, where you can meet all sorts of human beings and animals. Also, you get a chance to do things that you wouldn’t be able to do in real life. Like… fight monsters, fly, kill people and so on. If I am having troubles at home, when I play games I seem to forget them, and I have a magical feeling when I am on a fantasy-like island.
There are other reasons why I play games, but that is my best reason.
There are the obvious reasons why people play games… fun, stress reliever, to be happy, to get scared and just to pass by time.
So, I ask you, what is your best reason as to which you just love games?

Because they allow you to do things that you can't do in real life.
I do have a long answer lined up for this but I can't be bothered to type it. So, here is the shorter version
'Cause it's fun
:-)

Only when you're winning
When your are winning or doing really well on a game you are happy and enjoying it. When you are losing and doing cr@p you get angry and annoyed and take it out on something then ya parents go mental, and give you the 'it is only a game' lecture!

In a way, it is only a game, but on second thoughts, it is more than just a game to me.
I see a game as a mission. The game developer has set you a mission to complete a game, and so when you do, you feel as though you have really achieved something.
I think that is another reason for loving games. When you finally finish a game that you have had troubles with, or a boss you have thought was impossible to defeat for a few years, when you do complete it, there is a feeling of great pleasure and leaves you with a smile on your face that remains there until you find out that there is still another level to go.

Fun, that's all it is, I don't see myself entering a new world, I don't see myself being absorbed into the game...It is just the best source of fun in the world...you don't NEED friends like you do with football, you don't have to JUST play on your own like you do with browsing the internet...
It is so flexable, you can spend 10 minutes or 10 hours on a game...you can play the bits you want avoid the bits you don't, buy the games you want, don't buy the game you don't want...
...the whole world of gaming is at your fingertips!
It's just a 3 letter world...FUN!
