There’s nothing quite like going home at the end of a particularly grueling day at work or school and turning on the computer to play games. Video games have always had this kind of allure because they can help players take their mind off so many things. The virtual lands and make-believe missions can be a safe place for those who’d like to escape reality for a while.
