That was the tile of the add for electronic gadgets here in my lot. Today almost every cell phone in the market are loaded with sophisticated features and one day, there might be features that only a deep diver really needs (kidding). But one prominent feature is gaming. Interestingly, lots of people are using high class phones just for gaming. Adults are not excuse with this. I think adults need playtime too but are the cellphone games worth the time spent?

hello blackrusty, I was reading one of the response here a while ago and the lady said, "I will just play (phone games) when she wants to waste her time. She agrees with you as I do.

Hi Julyteen, I myself is not for cellphone gaming. I find it so tiring and time consuming. To others they say its relaxing but I guess the truth is just an urge gratification for more.

Hi Chiyosan, I guess games on phones are really tempting and it could catch any body's desire to do something else as for a break. I would rather do what you are doing like lotting than gamings.

yeah, adults do play games on cp, pc or laptops. I personally do not for I don't found it really relaxing specially when my mind is tired. However, people have different ways of relaxation so others might choose gaming.

You are emphasizing on gaming in cell phone for adults. What I think about adult is to have some relax time to escape themselves from their stressful lives. If you consider the point of body fitness, adults need to do some sports like physical activity to enjoy fun and relax them. I do not feel good playing games in cell phone and children makes comments while playing but I agree, many like it and enjoy it.

Hello tanvirnabi, We cannot deny the fact that many adults are really wasting time on phone games. I know it because many of my friends are doing it. I keep on saying, it's not really worth the time. Your expectation on adults is also my expectation.

I have a smartphone, and I have a few games on my phone, but not a lot. I do play them once in awhile, but not all that much. I would rather play on my computer or my tablet as it has a bigger screen, and easier to play games on it, than the cellphone. My smartphone has a 4.8 inch screen, which isn't big, but bigger than the iphone has or other phones for that matter. When I do play games on my cellphone, the fact that the screen is 4.8 inches, it is a little easier, than having a smaller screen. I do like games, but I would rather be in here, or do other thi8ngs, than sit and play games. Take care, and have a good day.

Hi rosekiss, What a nice phone you have. I am not totally against gaming so if someone can handle it well, he or she might not be wasting long hours in gaming.

Lately I am addicted to playing Mega Run with my itouch (lols) I admit that my kids are laughing at me each time I feel bad when I am not doing good with it (hahahaa) Well, we all need some time to play and relax, that will help us to slow the aging process

Hi jaiho, thanks for dropping by. I tried some games before but they are imprisoning me. I mean they are addicting and for me not a good thing happening so I stop playing electronic games. I find sports or other traditional games more relaxing.

Hello, Of course, yeah! adults should spend time on quality games. games that will develop us physically and socially. Phone games according to many are relaxing but the opposite is true.

Hi louievill, Thanks for passing by here. You are like my parents and in laws who choose to spend long hours in the garden. Aside from they are not so familiar with electronic games, they find it more relaxing connecting with nature.

Hi natliegleb, of course we need to relax from the work we do everyday. I guess you mean we should spend some time playing something not electronics to relax the mind and body form the scientific world?

well, I do not like to play games as I do not get that much time to spend. I just have done it before when I wanted to waste my time and make myself busy with something to pass some bad moments in the life.

Hi extremefun, Thanks for passing by. Playing I believe is fun when it builds up relationship but when it is a kind of time wasting one then it's not fun anymore.

I think it is OK. In first days I bought my cellphone, I'm very excited and played games so much. But then, I have many work to do and do not have much time to play. Actually, the reason I bought my cellphone is that it have many useful application for my work and I really satisfied with it

Phone apps now a days are of course helpful in many areas and if utilized properly, they will hasten the accomplishment of assignments. However, now a days, people are more focusing on gamings.

Tht's the thing about mobile phones these days. It has so many features that's why people of all ages are trying to keep up with it. Yes, I agree that adults need playtime too but I don't think it should be wasted on playing games or at least it shouldn't take too much of their time. As adults, they have responsibilities. Alyhough they shouldn't be restricted from playing games, it should be done responsibly.

hello ayeeesha, Yeah, adults have lots of responsibilities. We cannot deny the fact now adays that instead of teaching the kids showing them what real life should be, many adults are spending much time on cellphones during day off. It's a sad thing.

You are like one of my wedding godfather who do not want to use cellphone. It's not that he cannot afford or he does not know how to use it but he does not want to be disturbed when at work.

Yeah we need some play too.. Cellphone games? I like sudoku in my cell phone than in PC. It is depend of the person. Simple cell phone game is worth for me to kill the time. But for serious game it is better to use PC or console. At least your eyes is not stressed too much.

One of the conveniences a cellphone can offer is the fact that it handy. There was a time that I also spent time playing games either in cellphone or in computer. However, this time, since I've been so busy I already refrain from playing games. Have a great day!

As we grow busy in things more important to spend our precious time with, we forget about gamings. well, busy people I guess are not updated with the latest games anymore... like many among us.

I don't have a cell phone, so thus I don't use it for anything, but to me a cell phone is too small to do anything with, including making phone calls. I still get calls from cell phones where the caller is cutting in and out and you can hardly get through an entire call.
