What exactly characterizes video game addiction? Writer and researcher Neils Clark recently tackled this and other related questions at the 2008 Games for Health Conference. In his talk, Clark elaborated on the problem, its elements, real world relationships and possible solutions. More on those in the full article after the jump.

We've seen a number of Crush trailers starring our insomniac hero Danny solving puzzles on different psychedelic environments. They have given us a pretty good idea as to the video game's gameplay, so another one won't really hurt, right?

Crush from Sega and Zoe Mode is a 2D-3D puzzle title set to exclusively hit the PlayStation Portable (PSP). Anyway, the game centers around troubled Danny going to Dr. Reubens for help. The good doctor (mad scientist to others) believes that the insomnia can be cured by his machine called C.R.U.S.H. In the trailer, we see the usual puzzle solving action with the camera switching and crushing. The background music has a dreamy feel to it but we were half-expecting a jack in a box or a homicidal clown to jump from out of nowhere.

Check out the video to see what we mean. Crush will start marching to the shelves on May 25 for Europe and May 29 for North America. Enjoy the video.
