Playing game is bad if you give too much time on it. For being relaxed, it is good if you play that for small amount of time.
I think games are good source of entertainment but only if we are playing in limits. Some months before I developed the habit of playing too many games and for my game I used to leave all my works even my food and my mother used to scold me for that. Then I just tried to leave that habit of playing excessive games. So, for me, games are good but only to certain extent.
The word "game" itself is neither good nor bad but the result of goodness or badness depends upon how one handle it. There are several things you have to think about before taking parts of the game. For example if the ground is slippy than there is more chance of falling down and get hurt.
The games are very interesting to play. There are several games which keeps our mind fresh and relaxing. Games are really good for us and by playing games we can also improve our educational skills and keeps us happy always.
Games are awesome and always will be. The problem is that today 2 many kids are stuck home eating fat and getting fat while playing endless hours. Online games are like a drug for most, because it pushes you constantly to play or you're banned from your "friends" and stuff like this. I usually play only when it's too hot or too cold outside
