You know games are taking over your life when...

Are you game obsessed? If any of these relate to you, then it might be time to take a break

You know games are taking over your life when... they start invading your dreams

Sure enough, dreams are very weird things. And it's a definite sign that you need to reassess how we much time you should be investing in a game when it pervades your psyche and begins seeping into your sleepy time. Indeed, if a 12-foot tall Master Chief crashes your head and starts selling electric pigs in your ethereal air castle, then you know it's time to stop playing Halo. At least for a day or two, anyway.

If you're looking for sweeter dreams, perhaps persevering with Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 would actually be a good idea. It might be shallower than a tapeworm's grave, but if games regularly influence your unconscious time, then surely there can't be anything more conducive for pleasant slumber lumber than the lovely pillows of Kasumi and co.

The sleeping Wii-obsessed gamer in the movie below might not be experiencing anything quite as arousing as a lucid DOA dream, but it is moderately amusing all the same. Even if it does have a slightly unnerving Blair Witch quality about it.
