I'm not entirely sure if this will work for you, but it helped me recently when I had to study for a test that I really didn't feel like studying for; I would rather have licked dust off the floor and make interesting sculptures with it than read a page of my textbook. You have to make equal time for both things. You shouldn't just play games because you'll feel guilty for not doing homework/studying, and you shouldn't just study because your mind will be on the game all the time. It comes down to that good old saying "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy".

Say to yourself "If I study/do homework for two hours, I can reward myself with an hour of playing [insert name of game here]". Then if you're in the zone of studying and you don't feel like taking a break to play the game you can let the time accumulate and then reward yourself later. Same thing goes for the opposite situation - if you play for an hour, you should do two hours of homework, or whatever. It's important to balance and reach a compromise.

I hope it works for you. If not you should check on wikihow, there are some suggestions on what to do when you get addicted to MMORPGs.
