                      to conceal the extent of involvement with the Game.
                     Use of the Game is a way to escape from problems
                      or  to  relieve  a  dysphoric  mood.   (e.g.  feelings  of
                      hopelessness, guilt, anxiety, depression.)

               Additional Warning Signs for Children Include
                     Fatigue, tendency to fall asleep during school.
                     Not completing homework or assignments on time.

                     Isolating from family and friends to play video games.

               Some of the games tends to move from a religious path to
               a  political  ideology.  Special  Forces,  a  FPS  is  a  military
               game  where  players  become  armed  memebers  of  the
               Islamic Resistance countering Israeli invasion of Lebanon
               and  performing  covert  attacks  on  Israeli  position  and
               politician.
                   Another game company known for creating politicaly
               inspired  games  is  Afkar  Media.  Several  of  games
               developed  by  this  company  were  criticized  for  the  way
               they retell historical events and empower Arab characters
               by representing them as freedom fighters.
