There are a lot of opinions on gaming addiction and whether or not it exists.
In my opinion it definately does. I even see it in my eldest kids who literally turns into a different person when he gets hold of my ipad. Try to take it from him when he's not finished and he's not happy at all to put it mildy. Same as the 'need' to play a certain game now and again - it's not nice to see.
Let me just clarify one thing, he's not on the ipad that much overall, maybe half an hour or an hour tops a couple of times a week.
In my own experience I have definitely been addicted to video games numerous times in my life from childhood through to adulthood.
The worse case being where I actually had to physically break a game disc to stop me playing the game!
I guess it depends on your personality if you have a generally addictive one or not.
