Conclusion: According to the research findings, video games can affect the stress system as well as the cognitive system of humans depending on the game style. Highlights Video games have different effects on the stress of players. The type of stress depends on the game style. The resulting stress may reinforce the cognitive elements or destroy them. Introduction Video games are an interactive medium and a novel technology spreading all over the globe.
Methods A total of 80 male volunteers aged between 18 and 30 years enrolled in this research project. Study video games 2. Puzzle game A Puzzle game generally improves concentration, memory, and the harmony between the hands and the brain. Runner game The symphony of tiles makes the user calm and enables him or her to avoid addiction to the game. Fear game Many video games released in the fear and horror category claim to induce fear in the player.

In two words - Endorphin Games offers you emotions which release the hormones of happiness - endorphins. You find yourself in a specific strange space, which has been designed according to a unique story.
Your objective is to complete your mission in time and to escape successfully. The game will challenge your observational and analytical skills, your logic, dexterity and team spirit.
This is a live adventure. A movie, in which you are starring in the main roles. Very few parents would be especially surprised if you suggested to them that their child was addicted to video games or computer games. Yet the reality is that a great many children and young teenagers are addicted to video games, and that in some cases this is having a detrimental effect on them, both physically and emotionally. Playing video games is not, for some people, an activity to which one can become addicted.
Having said that though, it is only fairly recently that it has been admitted and accepted that gambling can be addictive, in the medical sense of the world, and increasingly addiction is being investigated as a consequence of a whole range of activities. It is even possible to be addicted to sport and exercise, to the extent that it can cause harm. So what is meant by addiction, as far as doctors and medical practitioners are concerned?
Basically, when the body or brain is engrossed in an activity, chemicals are released into the bloodstream, and quickly end up with the brain. These chemicals can make a persons' mood change quite dramatically, cheering them up, making them feel happy or good about themselves, distracted from the stresses and strains of life, and generally feeling positive and satisfied.
Similar words and concepts used to describe addictions to drugs, cigarettes and alcohol. When an athlete runs or exercises hard, endorphins are released into the body and these can actually have the effect of giving the athlete a 'high', making them feel a rush of positive happiness.
