Here is a good article on how game addiction have taken over our lives. Wired News The article touches on a few stories of people who have been addicted and people who have family members that are addicted.
Not many gamers will admit to being addicted to a game, and once one is addicted it is very very hard to quit. I know how tempting a game can be being a former almost addicted StarCraft gamer myself. Game after game, hour after hour, playing till 5 am is not an uncommon weekend ritual for a few months.
Game addiction may become a problem in the future. More and more teenagers and young adults are getting addicted to games and drop out of school as a result. Gamers need to be more aware of addiction and how they can get caught up into a game if they are not careful. Like the article states, 'the important thing is balance'.
