Answer:
Video games engage the player on multiple levels by creating rewards, obstacles, stories, character traits, and increasing levels of difficulty as the gamer increases her or his skill in the game. The reward center in the brain releases dopamine in response to a pleasurable experience. Video games are designed to be addictive-not in the clinical sense of the word, but game designers are motivated to make their games more interesting so that users increase the amount of time they spend playing. Playing video games with others is a bonding experience. You feel closer to the people you game with because you share a common goal.
