How much is too much video game playing daily?

Harris poll: Overall, 88% of youngsters surveyed said they played video games at least occasionally. On average, they played three or four times each week, with boys playing more often. Boys also played longer, more than 14 hours per week, while girls played more than nine hours.
The poll of 1,178 U.S. kids and teens (aged 8 to 18) found that 8.5% of those who played video games exhibited at least six of 11 addiction symptoms such as skipping household chores or homework to play games, poor performance on tests of homework because of playing, and playing games to escape problems.

When I get a new game, I usually can play 4hrs straight before I have to stop for a couple of hrs. But I regularly play no more than 2 hrs each gaming session.

Assuming you're getting your job/homework/chores done, if your games get in the way of healthy amounts of sleep and exercise, you're playing too much. Other than that, anything goes.

When you're sick of playing, I'd say you've spent enough time. This is really a question that's entirely up to you. However, when you've gone a couple weeks without bathing or consuming anything other than Cheetos, I'd say you may wanna limit the amount of time in a day you spend sitting and owning at CoD4.

There is no such thing as too much time, only...not enough time...
