“Call of Duty: Black Ops” isn’t all that it was cracked up to be.

Most of the single-player campaign is spent watching in-game cut-scenes that take control completely out of the player’s hands and the rest offers wave after wave of generic foreign bad guys.

The story revolves around a large conspiracy involving Russian plans to attack America. The main playable character, Alex Mason, is at the heart of Russia’s MK-ULTRA-esque plan and spends most of his time recalling memories for his mysterious interrogators.

Most would consider video games a harmless hobby but for some people it grows into a life-altering addiction.

Although video game addiction is not recognized by the American Psychiatric Association, the condition is becoming widely recognized as more people reveal that their pastime has begun to consume their lives.
