“For some users computer games are little more than
“the things I do when I should be working”, a soothing distraction
or a waste of time and space. For others games are a matter of life

computing, and the reason why we bother.

“The best games are a learning experience, an exercise in
strategic thinking, memory retention, what-if scenarios and problem
solving – not unlike programming itself.”
