They describe their obsessive gaming as an addiction. Reporter Raphael Rowe, meets leading experts calling for more independent research into this controversial subject, and reveals the hidden psychological devices in games that are designed to keep us coming back for more.
Some quotes from in the 30 minute programme.

Some koreans have even died because they have sat still for so long they got a blood clot.

One Koreans daughter died because their parents sat across the road playing computer games. Their child got fed once a day while the parents sat across the street feeding their virtual baby (Show's actual footage/pictures)
Actually got me thinking, Is 'addicted to games' real?
I think yes it is. I've been playing computer games day in day out since COD4 first came out.
I stopped going to college, Stayed up for day's at a time (Most was 4 days without sleep) and I want to know why.
Recently I've stopped playing on my PS3 simply because I don't have Black Ops which most of my friends are playing.
So are you addicted, Don't say "No I play it now and again"
If you sit in school/work thinking "I can't wait till I get home to play ___ game"
Then that means your kinda addicted.
So, Are you addicted?

O yes it is real, you can get addicted to just about anything now-days.. When I was first thinking if I was addicted to video games I thought about today. Today was my first day on a new job 6 hours of standing and running back and forth, I was disappointed because it'd take away from my time to play video games.
But when it comes down to it.. No I am not addicted to video games, I've gone days and weeks without playing. For example I've had black ops since release and I've only put in about 10-15 hours of playing. Yeah I think about playing here and there, but in the end I'm busy with school or some other stuff.

If you look North every time you hear a loud bang and have a sudden hankering for rice balls wrapped in seaweed. If the words Kim Jong make you shudder and your proud to drive a hyundai. Then it is time to get concerned.
Do you find yourself dabbing mascara on the corners of your eyes?
Do you gaze out the window to see your parents across the street with their new adopted Korean child? Do you wonder what those constant leg cramps are coming from?
Do not buy black ops, put your console and games on Ebay, take the money and move to Korea where you may have a chance at a normal life !!!
