Are you a Gaming Junkie?
I have to admit that since the release of Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2, the hours I've put in have been ridiculous!! My whole life seems to be passing me by. When I see my friends constantly on-line (until 5am) I know where they are, but meeting up for a social has gone out the window.
What's happened to everyone? Dev from Radio1 and ´óÏó´«Ã½ Switch had to give his copy to his mum otherwise no studying would be getting done! What about Fifa10, There's another game that keeps you completely glued to the TV......Grand Theft Auto, Assassin's Creed, Rainbow 6, the list is endless. What is now apparent and blatantly obvious is that the gaming fraternity has succeeded in DRUGGING US!!!! We are addicts people and we're becoming more gaming junkies.
I want you to think about this and be honest? The first step is being able to admit it. The second step is being able to talk to someone about it. We want you to tell us how many hours do you spend playing video games? DON'T LIE!!!!! TELL THE TRUTH!!! WE CAN HELP YOU....... Ok the last ones a lie but leave your hours on the wall and the game that has you hooked, and we'll try our best to help, from one addict to another....
