I play video games on a daily basis, mainly because I just think they are fun, and there are few alternatives that really interest me and are accessible. For instance, watch primetime TV or play Gears of War? No contest. Sleep or play Civ IV? That might be a little harder depending on how tired I am. Watch a good movie, or play GTA IV? That's a toss up. But there are only a few times a year when gaming drops down on my leisure time list, and that time is almost here.

It is almost March Madness time! Even if I was offered to play God of War III instead of watch March Madness, there is no way I turn down the tournament. For you, it might be different. However, as a sports fan, nothing can beat the madness in March, and it is more than okay not to game during this time of year.
