I am working on doing some research into the more psychological aspects of gaming. Why do we game? What aspects of one game make it better than another game? Are social and online games truly manipulative? Can we objectively rate games? Are game companies truly creating efficient experiences that maximizes their resources without waste?
I have created a short survey. It is for the most part basic questions but it is the stepping stone for my larger project.

Also I have been working on organizing a set of experiments. If anyone is any good at programming and wants to help, send me a PM.
95% of gamers don't know they are noobs, the 5% who do won't be noobs for long
