Quite simply it's all about having fun. We all play games, across all age ranges and genders. It trancends all cultures because it is part of the human spirit.. we have a need to compete with others and with ourselves.
People play games not so much for the game sitself as for the experience the game creates, an adrenaline rush, a victory or mental challenge, even providing a moment of solitude or interaction with friends.
