I remember after I moved to my horrible new boarding school playing the game
rampage on the Amigar.
For those who don't know, rampage is a game where you play as either a
gorilla, a lizard or a giant wolf man and must destroy the city by tearing
down buildings. Believing that I was smashing up my new school was rather
good fun, particularly since it was a cracked Amigar coppy with a cheat
screen I had infinite lives so couldn't be killed by the puny tanks and
hellicopters sent against me! :D.
Bewaree the grue!
Dark.

Hi Shaun,
I am sure games work for different people in different ways, but I do
agree it does help in large part with say anger management. It is a
constructive way to deal with ones anger, feelings of harming someone
or something, in a way that is socially acceptable.
There have been many times in my life when I was very angry, very
upset, and I turned on a video game and took out my feelings of rage
upon the virtual game characters. I might beat them senseless in a
beat-m-up or killed everything in sight in an FPS game. Either way I
was able to redirect that anger, that rage, in a way that allowed me
to get rid of it without directing it at a real person.
Cheers!

well I find that playing some of these games just gets rid of the
anger I would have had if I didn't.
So it must work for others in different ways.
