if you can get up walk away and not play games for days or weeks you aren't addicted. really isn't anything wrong with relaxing to games. is someone who reads news every day addicted to it?
They can be great for short periods. I have a specific beef with MMORPG's that use a range of underhanded techniques to get you addicted. Some of it is no different morally from getting someone hooked on a drug, as far as I can see.
Here's something Cracked.com wrote about it:

I don't play mmorpgs.
I play battlefield, gta and elderscrolls/fallout.
I have pleanty of free time and if not for videogames it'd be spent crying laying in bed depressed. they are a distraction i often have to bring myself to play. they sort of fun once on it.
though I also don't care about acheivements, or collecting items . I often play games and get very few of them. where as some other people strive to get them all.
I don't play games that cost money per month. its why i won't get elderscrolls online, that and I dont like mmos you build your character then some guy who plays the game 24/7 comes along and rapes you and takes your stuff. no thanks.
atleast with battlefield. everyone has equal stuff. while I may not be good, most game are enjoyable. and when the one comes where the other team destroys us over and over I just get off.
