But the extension of the obsession is obvious from the popularity of one game alone:"Halo 2". It's a
first-person shooter developed by Budgie Studios for the Xbox video game console.By early 2005,1
million players worldwide had clocked up an amazing 100 million hours on the game.
China has about 94 million regular Internet users.Of these, a survey suggested,4.4 million are
teenagers so addicted to it that they neglect everything else.

space, hunger, pain, everything, " explained Liu Pinyi, a 19-year-old college dropout.She has had

al imbalance in the
brain.Gaming stimulates (刺激) the production of a chemical compound that produces euphoric or
pleasant feelings.When they're away from the screen, their levels of chemicals produce this" high" drop.
And the addict suffers feelings of anxiety and headaches.
Experts say young people are attracted to video games partly because they are thrust right into the
centre of the action.This allows them to overcome a lack of confidence which people at that age can
often suffer from.

that 98 percent contained violence for 36 percent of the total playing time.
China strengthened controls on computer games again this week, with the Mi
nistry of Culture banning
nine online games.The ministry said it would also force game operators to technically filter out content that could cause addiction.
