Reeske, to answer your question "why in the world do we like to play a game like this?" Well part of the answer lies in the reason why companies like G5 produces games like this. As humans, we are always looking for ways to expand the core of our "intelecky". As a result, one of the means is to participate in games the challenges our visual acuity, at the same time making it fun, sometimes frustrating, sometimes "boring" but more often than not, addictive.

As for "psychological studies being done". Me and my colleagues have been studying your kind for eons (hence the monicker Ancient Alien Astronaut). No, I'm just kiddin' (or am I?). But, yes psychological studies have been done and continue to be conducted with the hope of understanding how the human brain works.

So, rather than have a nervous breakdown, have fun while you strengthen your core.
