Computer gaming addictive like drugs

Sabine Grüsser and Ralf Thalemann from the Charité University Medicine Berlin, in Germany have found similarities between drug addicts and heavy players of computer games.

"...excessive computer game players showed classic signs of craving when they were presented with freeze-frames from some of their favourite games – they desperately wanted to play, expected to feel better once they did, and fully intended to indulge again as soon as possible."
