“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
and death, the bane of partners, the be all and end all of
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.”
