Video games draw you in and motivate you to complete task like going on quests or battling an epic monster to reach new levels of the game and win virtual money and prizes. And some of you would much rather fight through a dungeon full of giant spiders than face that mountain of dishes piled in the sink, or spend some time on the treadmill. All too easily, an addicting video game can suck hours from your day, leaving your to-do-list undone.
