Dr Phil on video game addiction

In this video Dr. Phil treats video games as an addiction. Fair enough the guy was a bum, but to highlight this as a universal problem is pretty unfair. Apparently the second guest attempted suicide because his gaming addiction became too strong. Is gaming even an addiction? What is the point where it stops becoming just a bit of fun and turns in to something more sinister?

We all play games, but what if gaming takes control and we lose the ability to do anything but game? Has anyone got a gaming addiction or thinks they play too much?
