== Overview The word addiction is [|defined] by Merriam-Webster as: “the compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming substance characterized by tolerance and by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal”. Overtime, this description has adapted a broader meaning. Instead of being addicted to heroin or cocaine, millions of gamers have found themselves addicted to a particular game. Gaming addiction has primarily stemmed from Internet games involving the adoption of an online avatar. Games such as World of Warcraft allow their players entry into another universe. When you make an account for a game like this, you create an avatar that can be developed and improved by increased participation in the world of that game. When this happens, real-life relationships can be neglected or destroyed by a gaming addiction. Websites have popped up all over the World Wide Web in order to satisfy this hankering for a virtual existence. [|Addictinggames.com] is “the largest source of the best free online games”. Including hundreds of games from every thinkable genre, Addicting Games also has a participatory option in which users can submit their own games. ==
