These days, playing games online is another way to relax for most people. Many people, both children, adolescents, or adults, who spend several hours a week during their leisure time.However, the question must be asked:Is gaming really has a relaxing effect for humans?

For me, it can be both relaxing and tiresome too. I remember a few months back, I got so hooked on playing Plants and Zombies. I was really enjoying it to the point that I have to play more than an hour before going to sleep. After just a week, I started to feel dizzy ,my eyes are often red because they get irritated easily. It seems that too much movement of my eyes from playing the game caused them to get stressed. So I stopped playing for a week, my eyes got better instantly. Now, since I have finished the game, I only play it occasionally.

yes it's can affected to human relaxing, but not everybody like gaming, especially game online. I like to playing online games and become a guild leader on it. I feel great when became a guild leader in online games, because you will get respect from the other, especially from your men.but, you must have responsibility to your men. you must help them, and protect them from the other guild. overall, it can makes me relax, even it become my 2nd life.

most people play games online to relieve their stress or after a draining day(s). However, even they feel de-stressed after playing computer games, there is a rebound effect of it. Radiation from the computer itself is inflicting a kind of stress to human body. Bottom line is that they arent really relaxing they're stressing themselves more.

Yes..in a way. It is relaxing but sometimes it is very stressful. People feel like they can capture anything they want when they play. I don't play online war games but according to my friends, it is like creating their own kingdom and ruling over it to over power the others. In this way, they can feel that they are superior. It was referred to as relaxing because it is done during one's free time. But for me it is not relaxing sometimes. It just become relaxing when they win the game after the long hours of playing. ^_^
