What is the name for the specific part of the heart which sets the rate at which the heart will beat?
The pacemaker of the heart is known as the sinoatrial (SA) node. It sets the rate at which the heart will beat without any autonomic stimulation, that is, no sympathetic or parasympathetic activity. Increases in sympathetic activity will increase the heart rate while increases in parasympathetic activity decrease heart rate. The pacemaker of the heart is known as the sinoatrial (SA) node.

Does an increase in ECF K plus level increase heart rate?
Potassium levels DECREASE heart rate, and maybe lead to severe cardiac arrest.and for sure, this is a mechanism of how potassium level in ECF can decrease heart rate:first, the potassium level increase in ECF making its efflux increase, due to activation of potassium channels in pacemaker cells, then the slope of pacemaker action potential will decrease, which means that the duration of one beat is prolonged, and this lead to decrease the numbers of beats in one minute, which by turn means that the heart rate is decreased.

Most video games will increase someone's heart rate. The main games that increase heart rate are racing (especially off-road or street racing) games, horror games, fast paced shooters, etc. Racing games like Need for Speed Series, Burnout Series, Flatout Series, Midnight Club Series, Motorstorm Series, etc increase it the most. Though if you play horror games like Alien vs. Predator 2, F.E.A.R, Doom Series, etc you can increase your heart rate considerably because of the constant spooks from bad guys or monsters or whatever jumping out the darkness at you suddenly. Violent shooters actually increase heart rate the least. Only a few shooters increase the heart rate significantly. An example would be the Brothers in Arms series.
