I am the type that is always up for a challenge. Video games will definitely give a good challenge. There are many challenges. For example, in WoW, you got to level up, get gold, do quests, dungeons and PvP.

I believe a good reason to play games would be because your friends do. Of course, I have never been one to say you should do what your friends are doing, but in this case, it is much better than going to parties.

Okay, this one is meant to be funny, but hey, it’s a good reason! What gamer out there does not like to use the grenade launcher? Video games allow you to be destructive and we all know what happens when you’re destructive in real life – that equals trouble.

Yeah, in a video game, you can be what you cannot be in real life. You can let your inner being lose and not have to worry about others judging you. For example, you always wanted to cast magic, didn’t you? Then you can be a mage on World of Warcraft and cast all the magic you want. You can even turn people into sheep, penguins or turtles.
Those are 8 reasons to like video games. Video games can be very exciting and will help make your life not so boring. So, why do you like games? Wait, you don’t? Then why do you NOT like them?
