Do computer games take your life away ?

addiction for computer games is bad for health and also studies suffer coz students generally gets addicted to them. they shud be allowed to play within limits. I think 1 hour in a day is OK but not more than that..

no gaming is fun when you are bored you can play games that is what lifes make cool

Any hobby takes time away, its a matter of the person. In the case of computer games like World of Warcraft, a virtual reality role-playing game, some people do get caught up into it. The US doesnt have it as bad as the asian countries like China, whose government has limited all players under a certain age to play only a set number of hours...they have regulated some sort of software that can track the number of hours being played. Recently, a new patch was introduced to be uploaded into World of Warcraft where it actually shows the current time in the player's time zone, so he/she can see what time it is. I am a player of World of Warcraft, however I also have a life in the real world which inlcudes family, friends, dating, and a job....guess some people hate real-life, have no social life, and have a need to escape and stay in the fictional world.
