The reason why games are addictive for player, is because of playing a game can satisfy player's mental desire. An interesting game will include some components which are attractive to make players falling into the game. However, some commentary shows that players are very easy to be addictive with playing games and it is a negative phenomenon. That might not be true, it depends on player-self management. Specifically, game is a tool which allow players to satisfy phycial and psychological deire and it dones not include any drugs to compel players playing with. However, one of comment said "game is so awesome to as to cause addiction, possible divorce or death". It is very true and possible in real life. A real illustration happened in my country is that one student was playing on-line game in internet cafe for 3 days and he never stop to play the game. When he leaving th einternet cafe, he faint on the stree. After he was sent to hospital, he died. An other real illustration is that a married man has spent a lot of time on on-line game which players can chat with other players and even making a virtual boy friend or girl friend. However, the man was fall in love with his virtual girl and spent a lot of money to satisfy his virtual girl in real life. Once, the man's wife found the suspected relationship, she divorced with her husband. These two example shown that games are awesome but if players cannot manage themselves, games will be a fatal weapon. From a player perspective.
