Because it's fun. It's that simple.

It's fun playing as characters that are doing fantastical things. Or things that aren't right in society. Games let you try out things you normally can't or won't do. That's why I enjoy games. Who wouldn't want to live in the Pokemon universe. Where schools teach how to train. And medication is free for Pokemon. Or Play as Hulk in a Marvel game. Or kicking some ass as Samus Aran.

Popeye, Root Beer Tapper, Elevator Action, Tron, Centipede, Joust, Ms. Pac Man, Galaga, Berzerk.....

My gaming was born in the Arcades and its in my blood......
Keep on Gaming.

Because i enjoy

because I can,because I can.

To escape reality.

This man speaks the truth.

Lol too much information. =)

The reason varies. Sometimes I play because I'm bored. Sometimes I play to have fun. Sometimes I play to experience the world in the game. Sometimes I want something challenging. Sometimes I play for the story.

Its fun and unfortunately one of the few things I am good at. I probably wouldn't play game as much if I couldn't finish them because they may eventually get repetitive.
