Games like Halo a stress relief?

Do games like in PS2 or Xbox or any kind of games that are teen rated and such, even in online gaming communities like WoW etc... Do they give more stress because you want to finish levels and such and your just sitting infront of a screen? or do games relief stress because it takes you away from your reality and into your own safe world?

  • I think they give you more stress, because people swear and get mad when levels arn't beaten, plus they waste money on them for the sequels

  • Umm i dont think playing games can be stress relief but you can look it up online like google ...halo is very vilent...so why would that be a stress relief??¿

  • Halo 3 is definitely a stress reliever for me. There is nothing more relaxing than sitting down after a long day and beating someone upside the head with the butt of a shotgun. Gotta love it.

  • No when i feel stress and then play a game its mostly reliefs my stress. but i understand what it is you mean when im stuck on a hard level and cant beat it then yea i tend to get stressed out

  • well online games are not stress relievers because there is always some1 stronger than u and u wanna b the strongest proving more stress

    while games like halo reduce stress becuz u can always just beat the game u dont push urself to be the best therefore proving tat it is a stress reducer

  • This is the way I see it... Video games are like interactive movies. I play them for the emotional involvment, the action and the story. Therefore they are better than movies in my opinion. I think it's because boys are more imaginative than girls. I mean if you look at it. Boys are the ones who pretend to be power rangers and monsters when they're small while girls pretend to care for a baby. Of course I'm making generalisations here of course but then again so are you. Girls are more egotistical. They get more pleasure from showing off. Alla shoes and clothes. (I'm not talking about all boys/girls I'm just making generalisations)

  • It depends on the people that play it. Like playing Halo online multiplayer is stressful to noobs that take the gaming so seriously that when they lose they cry about it (or when their losing they restart the game).

  • I know I play video games to de-stress, so.... yes.

  • yes

    things that you enjoy are one of the best stress relievers

    its not really a "stress reliever" that you take pills

    but it helps you relax

    yeah

    why ask?

    :)

  • I find that shooting games relieve my stress.
