Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explore the reasons why six Malaysian students from upper secondary school are playing video games, types of games and the features preferred.  A qualitative method was being used in the study.  Purposive sampling was conducted in selecting the students.  The findings indicated that students played video games for a great range of reasons.  Different students play for different reasons.  Some shared common reasons and preferences.  A few findings were very specific and never mentioned before in previous researches.  However, more research needs to be undertaken in order to address the diversity of students with a bigger sample and different methodology.  

Keywords: Qualitative Method, Video Games, Types of Video Games, Reasons of Playing, Features Preferred
