Gaming now officially a disease!

The shrinks at the American Medical Association are moving to officially recognise "Internet/video gaming addiction" as a disorder. What this means is that lawyers will, in the future, attempt to blame "gory video games" for crimes ranging from eveteasing to mass murder, and use the medically recognised disorder to bolster their defences.

When it comes to complaints, the online multiplayer game Everquest tops the charts.

However, Sony online entertainment, the company behind Everquest, denies any wrongdoing, stating: "I guess our standpoint is the same as all kinds of products-you have to be responsible in using it."
