For those of us who are now stepping into exam time, you’ll discover that your gaming habits will have to change or else the marks that once made your folks proud will suffer an astounding blow and put you in your parents bad books. In order to save your marks and still give you a gaming fix, our experts have devised a guide to keep control when trying to play video games during exam time.
Keep it Simple.
Try and play the games that are very straight forward and that require as little thought as possible. Avoid games such as complex RPG’s as your gaming time is limited and your progression through the game will occur at a snail’s pace. We recommend something like a run-of-the-mill first person shooter which will leave you satisfied after a short time. Look for something such as Modern Warfare 2 online.
Simple, yet fun!
Try Something Casual
If you know that the simple games will still take away much of the needed attention on your books, we recommend a great casual game which can fill the gaming void within a few minutes of play. Try sticking in some FIFA, or a cool racing game, play for ten minutes and return to your books feeling like you got what you needed.
Soccer games are always fun... if you win.
Avoid Frustrating Games
During this tender period we recommend that you shy away from those games which will make you so frustrated that you’ll want to throw your controller into the distance. We’ve found that they tend to shift your studying focus as well as steal precious studying time while you persist to overcome your challenges. This means put away your Ninja Gaiden or your Demon’s Souls for the next few weeks.

Something Violent Perhaps?
Who said violence is not a good thing? During exams you’ll discover you will be withholding a number of different emotions ranging from anger, sadness or pure frustration. In order to ensure that your mind is put to ease we suggest that you stick in some Prototype or GTA. Instead of playing through the story of these games, simply cause chaos in the streets , shoot people, get beat up and explore a vast array of violent activities. This is sure to cure any bad emotion and clear your mind for the exam to follow.
Instant Relief.
Never Buy a New Game
As much as you may be dying to play Skate 3, Lost Planet 2 or any other title which may drop during your exam period. Regardless of whether or not it falls into the above mentioned categories, it will simply distract you with the new excitement that surrounds it and hence steal lots of precious studying time. If you’re truly desperate, you could always jump onto GamesCastLive.com and read the review about it.
Dont do it!
To everyone writing exams we wish you all the best of luck and to those who are fortunate enough to have passed that stage in your life, we envy you.
