Thought Overflow

The Best:

If you’re playing a good game, you’ll enjoy it a lot…a hell lot. It gives you something to do when you don’t have anything else to do. In fact, it gives you something to do even if you have something else that needs to be done first! (Ok, admittedly, that’s not a good thing for your career or academic life, but it’s a good thing for enjoyment.)

The Worst:

All games end. And with them, so does the experience. I must probably have mentioned before how the experience of a good game remains with me for some time even after finishing the game, giving you something to think about when you otherwise might have got bored. But I suppose it’s a good thing that games end. You cannot go on playing a game you like forever. You will get bored of it, and then you cannot think back on it and sigh in contentment at having played it…like I do now when I think of games like “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time” or “Bioshock“.
