For anyone who is interested, an excellent article that summarizes the extant research on video game addiction up until 2005 is Mark Griffiths and Mark N. O. Davies, "Does Video Game Addiction Exist?"

That study is sitting on my shelf right now. I've read it, underlined it, and sourced it. If I wasn't going to teach in 10 minutes, I'd go into it in detail.

My apologies for interfering with your scare mongering. By all means continue to compare video games to crack.
