There’s Nothing Like Playing Fighting Games Online To Get Out Your Anger.

With the week I’ve had, I don’t think anything could possibly calm my nerves better than playing games online. I’ve never been one to install games, I just search for the best online game sites and spend a couple of hours either forming words out of little squares, or beating the heck out of a ninja. Sure, call me a geek, but playing the games relaxes me and I can take my frustrations out on something not real.

One of the sites I go to, GameGibs.com has a huge variety of games I enjoy. If I’m having a bad day, I’ll play fighting games, if the day has gone well, I’ll choose a strategy or card game. My favorite game? One called Smacky, which is a squirrel who beats up his neighbors. I don’t like blood and gore so this game is right up my alley. Most of the games on the site require your computer to have flash installed, but I have never noticed any lagging or unusual memory usage while playing. The site has both cutesy, parody type games and the normal street fighter games-something for everyone. Do any of you play games online to relax and forget about the world for a minute or two? Or, to beat something up just to release frustrations? Check the site out as well-nice site with plenty of games to choose from.

I also use gaming to relax. And like you, the game depends on how my day went.
I am a member of Pogo (paid version) but I also go to some games at www.bigfishgames.com.

Thanks for the heads up on Gamegibs.

Yep, I love playing the little online games! And if I find a nostalgia kicker like a flash Tetris or something, all the better!

I play World of Warcraft after a stressful day. Being able to shoot and kill things really does make me feel better.

When I am not doing that, Bejeweled is the next best thing. The focus that is required to play it takes my mind off other things.

I’m a 3 year World of Warcraft junkie. I figure it beats watching TV, because at least my brain is working on *something*.

I kinda got bored of all the sameness in every MMORPG out there. You can try playing some shoot em ups. I think they do better for anger management.

Smacky is an awesome game…easy to learn and addicting to play! I’m not big on shoot em up games (mainly because I’m not a strategic person, I’m the one mashing the controller to bits!).

There is nothing better than a game that requires some intellect destroying someone’s hard work in a game to end a stressful work day - www.genleo.net

works like a charm for me
