Firstly, online computer games is socializing. OK, I know that some may think this is ridiculous, but let me explain. In my last post, I said that too much games can harm your social life. However, meeting people from all over the globe is an experience unique to online gaming. Also, making clans and playing games together with your actual friends also acts as socializing. Sort of like playing soccer together with friends, playing games with your friends can also become memorable experience.
Secondly, online computer games is a great method of relieving stress. After a long and tiresome day, a fun game on your computer can be extremely satisfying. Having a bit of fun and releasing all your stress is by no means a wrong thing to do, right? It's no different to fathers watching TV after a day at work. As long as you learn to know the limits that is.
Finally, not all games are about killing and destroying things. Some games are purely logical, such as puzzle games. These games actively help develop problem solving skills.

So overall, games in general act as a method of socializing and allow people to have lots of fun. Also, by choosing the right games, you can even become smarter by playing games.
