Is Online Gaming Addictive?

It is a question that has been asked before and will continue to be asked: Is online gaming addictive? The simple answer, yes. The complicated answer, no, if you have the will power to resist the temptation, and further, if it is addictive, is that a bad thing? To add to the canon of discussion on this topic, the BBC has a good article exploring some of the more popular Massively MultiPlayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG) including the recently released World of Warcraft that I know a lot of Lunabeanies can admit to playing a tad too much. As for us, well, we tend to stick to the console games because we know we'd get nothing done if we were to take up one of these epic and addictive games.
