Why do we play games?

Yesterday I picked up the wavebird, switched Metroid Prime on and shot a space pirate. Wow. I achieved breaking the poor suckers neck even though i had no personal vendetta against him. Then i realised. Games are pretty pointless. What is the point of wasting precious hours of your only life blasting meanies. It costs you £40 + electricity to play and you get nothing at the end except a bit of money back when you trade it in for another game. The same could also be said of watching Tv.

Please post your thoughts.

Why do we do anything? -

Because we have to fill in the gap between birth and death, and every now and then playing a game is a nice way of entertaining the mind for a few hours.

We like to achieve stuff on games that we could never achieve in reality.
