Have video games totally taken over your life? Is your marriage being affected? Do you need to go to rehab to kick your habit? Then you could be on MTV.

This weekend Nintendo returned to a familiar location for their Nintendo DSi launch party. Citywalk, a shopping area inside Universal Studios, was the same venue where the original Nintendo DS and, more recently, the Wii were launched.
