Personally I am a sucker for "shoot 'em up"-games on Xbox360, and of course the ice hockey-game "NHL 09". My favorite "shoot 'em up"-games are "Gears of War" (GoW) and "Halo 3". Those two games can really get you game addicted, and I have spent days and nights playing these games over and over again because it's so much fun, and it's really good to abreact on shoot 'em up games.
Picture from www.gameguru.inOne thing with these type of games is that when you have finished a game at one level, you want to continue playing the next level to improve yourself and it feels like you get that immortal kind of feeling when you play at the hardest level and you know that you have thousands of enemies in front of you in the game and you think that no one can beat you or kill you. You get that adrenaline feeling in your body. It's like pushing yourself in a ski slope and you go faster and faster and push your limit to the maximum. It's hard to explain if you never have pushed yourself at anything. Just try it!
The other game I mentioned was the ice hockey game "NHL 09". I like it because ice hockey is a fast game and a tactical game. It's also a fun game to play when you have a couple of friends over hanging out. "NHL 09" is a game that can emphasize so many feelings which you never thought that you would get while playing a video game. When you loose a game against your friends, you just want to throw the controller through the window or the television.
Finally I just want to say that even though video games may take control over some of your days and nights of your life, you still can have lots and lots of fun if you can keep it on that level, so that the video games don't take control over your lifes instead.

ps. remember to comment on my story and my grammar, thank you!
Hi Jonas!
SvaraRaderaI enjoyed your angle on video game addiction since you described some of the good things that can come out of a gaming "addiction" like yours. I do agree with you although my own contribution to this theme is solely of the negative side of the gaming "addiction". I hope you will continue playing video games without making it an unhealthy obsession.
Cheers!

Hi Jonas!
SvaraRaderaInteresting story. I recognise the feeling to move on when you have finished a level even if I'm not a experienced player. Couldn't really find any faults, so keep up the good work!

Hi Jonas! Just like Alexander, I think that your angle on video game addiction is really interesting. I agree on much you have to say in the text. You’re using paragraphs in a good way and your grammar is also great, which makes it easy to read.
SvaraRaderaThe only negative I have to say about it is that you occasionally use really long sentences. For example the first sentence in the 3:rd paragraph.
Otherwise, Nice work!
