My kid might become a video game addict

My child who is not yet 3 may become a video game addict down the road. He sat down at the family Mac more than 3 hours ago to play the game pictured on the left. He has only taken 1 very short potty break as he's in the zone :-) He wouldn't let anyone help him with the game or show him what to do as far as controls on the keyboard. Despite that, he's doing ok. He is running up and down the halls killing robots in the game like there's no tomorrow and when he gets bored of that he takes Obi Wan to a drop off and makes him hurl himself repeatedly over the edge. That parts normal, it's the laugh afterwards that scares me :-) Ah well, kids are weird.

UPDATE - It's now been 5 hours, second potty break taken and still going strong. Here is the real reason for the update...... In this game you always have two characters at all times on the screen and can switch between them when you want to. Well, the padawan has learned that if he attacks the other character, it will fight back. So, he is having some very elaborate lightsaber duels with kicks and jumps and some cool spins :-) AAaahhhhhhh yeah an addict is born. LOL
