His addiction to PS3 Call of Duty: Black Ops has become a serious threat to their marriage, as his lack of attention brings her to the end of her rope. She is then faced with the question: What do you do when your significant other just can't get enough of the game?...Do you pull the plug?

Game Over is an exciting new family play written by Author, Playwright, Poet and Artist, Twana Bond-Jones. It focuses on the marital relationship, values and the need for communication. It is the story of a woman who has an emotionally distant spouse due to his growing addiction to video gaming. The play takes an in depth look as they attempt to tackle their challenges.

Twana Bond-Jones, owner of the Poetic Art Press and Poetic Art Productions, expressed the importance of bringing attention to the issue of gaming addiction. "For too long the issue of gaming addiction has been absent from public discussion. It is a very real problem that is destroying many marriages and relationships worldwide. Whether it is around the dinner table, in a therapy session, or in a creative setting like a stage play, we need to address this growing problem," Bond-Jones said. "I am very thankful that my play has been given the opportunity to reach millions and shed light on this issue" Based on critic reviews and the audience reactions, Bond-Jones says many feel the play really hits home and stays with them long after they leave the theater.

"Creativity needs to be shared and that is why it was so important to me to write and bring such a unique and compelling story to the stage. Gaming addiction is a growing cause of divorce in this country and choosing to tackle this issue, in this manner, is my attempt at giving a voice to the many people who are going through it and who may feel alone", said Twana Bond-Jones.
