Relaxation: Are "relaxing" games more relaxing?

I think I almost broke my brain while thinking too much about stuff when working on this weeks topic. It initially started as a review/thoughts blog but then transformed into a blog questioning why soothing and slow paced games exist and if they relax you more than for example fps games. But In the end I feel like finally managed to piece together something somewhat cohesive, which is why I’m posting it here. I’m also glad that it made me go trough the subject more thoroughly because frankly, I find it to be a pretty fascinating topic. I would like to advice you to start the water-cooker and make yourself a coup of chamomile tea to help you relax, or if you don’t feel like it skip that stuff, do what YOU feel makes you relax, because that’s partially what this blog is about, so get ready because this stuff is about to get dopey, which is how I like it !



So how about you guys? Do you think that “relaxing” games has the potential to be more relaxing than other games? Or does it all come down to what type of games you prefer?
