I am 16 and have been playing video games for about 4 years, i started by playing Bioshock just to see what a ps3 game was like i didn't think i would like it that much but i did, over the years i have been playing more and more video games.
I recently got beyond two souls and finished that in like 12 hours, i have to play video games a couple of times a week but if i get a new game i can lock my self a way from people for up to a 3-4 days at a time and become anti social i am not sure if i have an addiction or if it is normal i don't know what to so.

If it's new games you're having trouble with, I'd recommend cutting back on the amount you buy. Maybe buy one at the end of a big project or something. But, yes, that's 3-4 days you'll never see again, so it's better to save to file and spread it out. I know there's huge anticipation to find out what happens next, but, in the end, it is just a game. It's very hard to do that with a good game, but, believe me, it does make the time you do get to play nearly twice as good (especially without sore eyes, a half-dead brain and a growling tummy.)
If day-to-day play is a problem, I would recommend writing down how many hours you play at the end of each day. (Keeping a piece of paper and a pen beside bed helps prevent 'tiiired-do-it-tomorrowitis'). If at the end of the week the answer shocks you, it's time for action.
