"Why do you play games?"

Simple Question?

I used to play games quite frequently in my day but eventually grew tired of them.

So why do you play them?

To pass time?

Escape from reality?

Its fun?

Just for the hell of it?

I think its a hard question to answer. I think it maybe depends on how you started playing. Might have been bought one from Christmas and continued from there. Played it at mates and wanted it or something else.

Makes you think though, would your life be so disasterous without games. Could you not carry on, I used to love playing them, usually only to get away from a boring life but then I stopped and enjoyed life a bit more and releasied theres nothing so important about gamnes.

Yeah there fun, good way to break ice with new mates or just an excuse not to study or work.

Yep weird things games, so why do you play them and constantly buy new games and consoles.

Racing games are my fave.

Roadsters Trophy WOW what a beauty

I play multiplayer games a lot, it's just a way of socialising, and gives us all something to talk about.

Don't really play single player games at the moment, at least until Master Of Orion 3 is released. It is going to rock.

We play them because we paid good money for them, if you buy something you generally get it for a reason, what's that reason? it's fun.
good topic.

I play games for enjoyment, to be kept occupied for hours on end and because Im totaly addicted!!

"WHY?" - The only question that cannot be answered without doubt.

Games are a legal drug and I am officially hooked :-)

something different from real life, i suppose.

which is crap, i may add.
and boring.
and ultimatly pointless.

The reason I play games is because they are plain, simple, and fun. I love them. Whether I play them against mates, or on my own to complete it.

It's also nice to be on my own for a while, away from the rest of the world and induldging myself with the qualities games have to offer.

It is a rather simple question. And I have to admit, my life would be a near misery if games were around no more. I am addicted, that's all I have to say.

They can be to addictive, and surprisingly 'bad' for you. No, I'm not saying they will lead to cancer or anything idiotic like that, but what I mean is, they can lead to you missing homework and not doing it on time - games have to be left alone sometimes, otherwise, you will have to suffer the consequences.

Okay.

Fair point.

How about...

Why do you buy games?

Poor poor attempt at sarcasm.

Escape.
