This can be attributed to their easy availability, not only on various traditional platforms but also on emerging mobile platforms. Games therefore have become an integral part of everyone’s life. It is seen that playing games not only provides entertainment to the people it also has the potential to influences their behaviour. It can trigger new ideas and strategies and in the long run can also influence the personality of the game player.
