If You Have Played the Top 10 Wii Games then you Might Be a Gaming Addict

If you happen to have played through all of the top 10 Wii games then you just might be addicted gaming.

Actually the real addicts are those poor souls who get sucked into online games like WoW that literally steal their souls away.  Apparently there are even treatment centers now, both in the U.S. and in China, that are dedicated to treating people for this type of addiction.

My opinion is that if you are addicted to gaming then this is not the same thing as chemical addiction.  The reason it is different is because when you engage in a chemical addiction, it seriously alters your mind and your ability to make rational decisions.  The emotional pull of gaming is not quite as strong as that, in my opinion.  Others will disagree no doubt, as some have played these games even after their spouses have left them and their life is nothing left but a shell.  (Go ahead and give them a feeding tube and stick them in a baby crib or something!)

What do you think?
