... don't play them through in one sitting. It amazes me the amount of people that complain they finished a game in a weekend, surely that's your own fault? If you sit down and play the game for seven hours straight, you're bound to ruin it.

Play games like me - play maybe one or two hours at a time, put it down and come back to it another time. It lasts longer and keeps the experience fresh. I still haven't completed Onimusha, ZOE or Devil May Cry and they are all 'short' games. Monkeys.

But if it's a good game, it gets you hooked so you can't stop playing.

Don't state the obvious, sensible solutions, Snuggly - you'll confuse the poor things.

Buy lots of games...

That way once you complete one, you'll have another to play?

Just don't sit in front of a tele for hours on end. It's bad for your eyes, posture and street cred.

Actually, I could play GTA3 for months. Trouble is when I hit the outside world I might get confused.
