When the Crisps confiscated their teenage son Brandon’s Xbox, they never expected him to run away from home…or to die from injuries sustained while in hiding. Using Brandon’s story as a case study, this program delves into the growing psychological problems of video game obsession and addiction. Interviews with Brandon’s parents and best friend, a family therapist whose patient list includes video gamers, and a psychologist who pushed the video gaming industry to adopt a ratings system provide insights into the obsessive and addictive aspects of video gaming. But virtual realms are also an arena for real-world achievement, attracting highly skilled players and their fans, professional coaches, big-name sponsors, and six-figure purses. Members of a pro-gaming team and the CEO of a pro-gaming circuit present their view as well. Game over, or game on? Some language may be offensive. Original CBC broadcast title: Top Gun. (42 minutes)
