Addiction and Video Games

One of the most common problems people have with video games is the chance and the common reality of Gaming Addiction. When someone is addicted to video games, it isn’t in the sense that most people think of; Kid sits in room playing video games all day and never plays outside. While that can be a beginning moment, it’s not real gaming addiction. Gaming addiction is far more intense than that.  It is the inability to find interest in the real world and spend your life submerged into an alternate one. I know there are plenty of people who feel this way, as do I, but the difference is some people don’t know when to press ‘save and quit’ and deal with the drudge of everyone’s shared reality on Earth.

Review: Amnesia

Among the greatest qualities of gaming is the ability to immerse yourself into the experience, to have such a captivating blend of story and gameplay that the world seems real to you at that moment. One of the worst things someone can do to you in that moment is make you experience the feelings from that game even after you’ve stopped playing. In most instances such as with World of Warcraft or Call of Duty this wouldn’t be the best or even safest direction for the game, but Amnesia hits it just right.
