Ekim's Gamer View: Games are not Addictive

Does "Friday" ring a bell? Right. Time for another one of our weekly editorials in the "Ekim's Gamer View" series. This week it's titled Games are not Addictive. However, Ekim confesses to being hooked on games. Don't all hookers say they ain't hooked? Can Ekim be trusted? Does his statement hold true? Does it apply to every gamer? Is the gaming industry keen on getting us all hooked up to games? Are we talking about a major global conspiracy here? ;)
Answers inside...
    For us gamers, an addictive game actually means that it’s a good one, maybe even an outstanding one. Being addicted to a game means that we can’t get away from it, we keep thinking about it even after we leave it. Actually, it’s very much like a good book, or even a good movie that lingers in your mind even after you saw it for the first time.

    An addictive CRPG certainly is considered a very good thing. It’s almost a prime requisite for a good one. An action game can almost make it just by being fun and exciting, but a good RPG has to keep you going by constantly pushing you further and further. The proverbial carrot on a stick dangling in front of the donkey is what we look for in a CRPG, even though we sometimes don’t like to admit it.
