Video games make you cry

This short article talks about how the writer reads civil war books and has some emotional attachment to that era because of his family being there.  After this brief insight into the writer he soon starts talking about video games and how they could affect someone as much as some books affect him. He talks about the different genres of games that gamers have ranked as emotionally powerful and what kind of emotions can be betrayed by said games.

‘Role playing games: People get real cranked up. "You see life and death and magical things occur." Players get involved with the characters due to the depth of the story (that "rival novels"), cut scenes, "sweeping" musical scores – and of course the dozens and dozens of hours of play.’

 I think this article is useful because its narrows down on what games gamers themselves find are emotional powerful so I can research more into one or two of the top ranked and one or two of the bottom ranked to see what the differences are between the two types of games. And some of the statistics that were used are similar to the ones I've found in previous articles which I find reassuring that I’m in the right area.
