Default Playing Computer Games

I have had this issue with computer games, video games and such for as long as I can remember. Why play those games at all? I don’t get it why people are so addicted to those games? I have the same question about the new set of games introduced by face book be it Farmville or mafia wars or those so many other games on FB.

May be to comment on and have such an anti attitude towards these games isn’t right, when I haven’t attempted to play these games beyond one or two times, but I feel that these games are a downright waste of time. People get addicted to it simply because these games are the new craze and lets one compete with anyone even virtual strangers. These games merely eat into the time that can be spent in meaningful activities. Many get addicted to these games and let them take the place of meaningful social relationships.

I feel games like solitaire, sodoku; minesweeper, puzzles, crossword etc help the player gain something from playing such. These games need the player to follow logic, analyze and solve using a combination of past knowledge and new understanding. These games and activities help in keeping the brain active and buzzing being sort of brain exercisers. In fact indulging in such activities have been found to hold brain depilatory diseases such as Alzheimer’s and dementia at bay.

What do these games like Farmville and mafia war contribute to…?

May be newer games shall be introduced on the social network platform involving skill and much advance utility hence shifting the players interests but the interests are highly subjective to individual choice.
