According to a study published in the medical journal Pediatrics (my third favorite medical journal), one in ten kids is addicted to video games, and that addiction causes anxiety, depression and poor school performance.

The study followed the gaming habits of 3,000 kids (from grades 3, 4, 7 and 8) from the U.S., Singapore and Hong Kong for two years, and found that nearly one in ten was at risk of becoming "pathologically addicted" to gaming.

Game addiction is not an accepted psychological condition, but for the purposes of this study, it was defined as playing more than 31 hours of games a week. I don't know about you, but I would consider that pretty pathological -- that's practically a full time job!
