Congratulations on recognizing this as a problem and deciding to switch to the game of life. 
Regardless of their complexity and high-tech graphics, I've always viewed video games as a simple game of solitaire. The goal is to finish the game and declare yourself Number One. Even when there is group participation, the goal is the same. It's a way to pat yourself on the back when the world won't, and it's a way to gain control when life seems out of control. Games can be a useful tool, but only if used to stay strong in the real world - not when used to replace the real world.
I'm not aware of the game you play, but I hope you enjoy reconnecting with the character God has chosen for you. Good luck on whatever level you play, and I hope you enjoy your adventure. 
When you're old and decrepit and taking your final breaths, what would you like to say to the young people about yourself and your adventures in life? You could tell them you were a champion at Solitaire, but chances are they might not be impressed and respond with "What's Solitaire?"
