Video Game Addiction:

Now to a case of video game addiction that's hard to believe. A fifteen year old boy has almost died after playing on his xbox for at least four days straight. The teenager was so caught up in the game he only emerged from his room to snack and go to the toilet.

Tyler Rigsby doesn't even know how many days he was holed up in his room. He thinks it was four or five but he lost count. Totally engrossed in this game, "Modern Warfare Three."

"The life you knew before is gone! Today, we fight to bring it back!"

When he finally emerged, it was almost "game over" for him. His mom Jessie Rowlins thought the worst: "I was very scared. I thought he was gonna die. He just fell over three times. He was blue."

The teen collapsed several times. He was rushed to hospital severely dehydrated. But Tyler's lucky. Some gamers have died because of their addiction. Just last month an eighteen year old Taiwanese man lost his life after playing an online game for forty hours straight.
