Reality

I played the Sims games for a short while back in my formative years. I would have to say that I agree that these games and vidoe games in general are just a waste of time and a simulated reality. It allows people to escape from the mundane tasks of their everyday activities. I think that these games allow people be who they want. This allows them to escape from who they really are.These games become so engulfing because they soon overtake and best reality. I can see the addictive potential, and it makes sense that people would spend so much time with these fake realities and identities. I think that this article really made me look at my own gaming habbits. I dont play the sims but I do play xbox and CoD. These types of games dont let you creat a reality but the anonimity of the internet allows you to be whoever you like to the people you are gaming with. I can see the appeal and I think in the future I may not look at gaming quite the same as I have in the past.
