Addiction

Like most teens in this awesome virtual/technological age, I easily get addicted to video games. In fact I try to limit myself to one Facebook game and one iPhone game so that I don't waste too much time trying to beat high scores. I've done this well for the most part, until a certain someone *cough* Jillian *cough* decided to download a game onto my phone for her entertainment.

I started a mad Temple Run 2 craze last week. Since then not only have I not been able to stop, I also downloaded Ruzzle and Words with Friends to challenge my friends at different games.

What I find most addicting is when games offer awards for completing challenges. Whether it be beating a new high score, or playing so many times you deserve a virtual ribbon, this sense of achievement gets to me and feeds off of my thirst for success.

Anyways, that's just my bit on why video games are addicting to me. Why do you believe they are addicting?
