From 1996 to 2003 I was pretty obsessive about Diablo, Diablo II, Starcraft, Quake1/2/3, UrT. I played almost no games from 2004-2007 or so. Then I started playing games a few times a week for an hour or two at a time. I've completely avoided WoW and refuse to even touch any game like it: games where the biggest loser wins. I think it's really nice to be able to sit down and play a game for an hour or two every once in a while. If you're spending more than 5-10 hours a week on gaming or watching TV you're probably going to regret it looking back. That's a lot of time to devote to semi-mindless entertainment. Some amount feels healthy and positive though.
