It really depends. Some people do indeed get hooked because they believe a
game has replay value. Then of course you do have the other sort.
They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!

In my opinion, they didn’t get addicted to them because they have a lot of
replay value. They got addicted to them because those folks had little or no
self-control.

Slow down; you'll get there faster.

Exactly, I enjoyed playing games like that but because my attention was
distracted elsewhere, I never got addicted to those games, though I know a
few who have and they say because it has a lot of replay value.

I don’t think games have to be about killing people. Killing monsters and
zombies is fine. :) Or you could make it somewhat abstract and have to
react to something in a split second. Change reaction comes to mind. It
has some elements of both a puzzle and a shooter. I play that game quite
a bit, too.

I am not sure how the genre of games are classified, but I do know one
thing for certain, there has been a lot of controversy about violence
and stuff like that over games like this, and in my previous research I
discovered that the long you are exposed to it, the more hard-wired it
is going to be in your brain.
Also, there is an upside to this. It allows you to increase and boost
your decision-making mechanisms. On a television news cast I watched one
day they discovered that people who played these kinds of games had
shorter reacting time to real-life threats.
In conclusion, violent games should not be played to any extreme that it
will force your attitudes to change, but should be played at a level of
moderation.
