This article explains why FPS games is so addictive with the popular games such as "Call of duty","Halo" and "Counter strike global offensive"

This article amazed me because it states "More than one billion multiplayer matches of shoot-em-up Call of duty:Ghosts have already been played since November" if you ask me that is quite alot of matches to be played.The start of the article it explains one or the core reasons why people get so addicted to FPS games and it is they feel like god and they feel like they are in control of their destiny and they are in control on environment.

This text is relevant to students my age because all around the world teenagers just like me gets addicted to some sort of FPS game.Half way through the article said that another reason for addiction is because it gives us games a adrenaline rush just like fighting a wild animal because when you leave your experience you think to yourself that was enjoyable,that was fun.This relates to me because when I leave my gaming sessions I think to myself yeah that was a good time!

The last point of why you most likely are addicted to FPS games is because there is factors in the game if you do good you get something worth while in return and it gives the players the decision making mind set when playing the game and once again this relates to me and other gamers around the world since famous world FPS titles does give that special reward if you do good and leave you craving for more.
