If you follow gaming news, you know that video games are regularly accused of being addictive and destroying lives. They are often placed in the same category as heroin, alcohol, and nicotine. One report out of Sweden went so far as to dub World of Warcraft "as addictive as cocaine." It would also seem, according to the hysteria, that multiplayer games and MMORPGs are more addictive than their single-player counterparts. What is your opinion? Are video games addictive?
