There are numerous articles about this, but I somewhat randomly picked this one. I searched for "tetris can reduce cravings", and got about 75,000 hits on Google...

Hehehehehe. There's no question that video games can help people with an escapism problem. A lot of people (including myself) struggle with the need to escape from reality because of the stress of real life, and run to addictions as a result. Obviously video games can help, though they can become an addiction just like anything else. Better games than cocaine. ;)

I had some friends who obsessively played Dr. Mario whenever they did cocaine.
