12. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
According to Wohlman (2012) in his work entitled ‘Epic
Fail’:
How Video Games and Internet overuse create problems with
college students, there are several factors that pushed adults,
especially students to play video games. Another negative effect of
video gaming is found in the health of the gamer. If gaming is
overused, this may lead to dry eyes, headaches, back aches,
eating irregularities and sleep disturbances
13. According to the NDP Group (as cited by Granic et al.,
2013, p.66):
In the united states alone, children of age ranges from 2 to 17
has 91% of video gamers. With that large percentage in just one
country, we can already deduce that the world of video games is
already widespread around the world and that the young are the most
exposed to it.
14. In 2009, Gentile (as cited by Prot et al., 2014)
Stated that children who finds trouble in school decides to
spend more time playing video games in order to gain attention from
their parents will lead to poor school performance.

34. CONCLUSION
Video games are often associated with negative health
consequences. But when games are played in moderation and
with mindfulness, they are viable source of stress relief.
Video games themselves are a relatively modern form of
entertainment. They are engaging and immersive on a level
different from that of traditional board games and other forms of
entertainment.
The player actively contributes to the level of satisfaction he/she
attains from this medium and thus is more invested and willing to
engage in the elements of the video game.
The amount of play time is also an important factor in the effects
of gaming.
