Can’t stay away from playing that nerve wrecking level of Angry Birds or are you sneaking to that incognito window to check those fresh farm tomatoes on Farmville ?  Then you are probably another Game addict    In the blog I try to demystify what keeps you addicted to these games.

I am sure you must have come across this feeling when playing those mind-numbing levels on Angry Birds
