Try getting a child off anything they enjoy; be it a good book at night, building with LEGO or whatever.
There are a few studies which demonstrate that (many) computer games improve intelligence in kids. So I'd be inclined to let them play and apply the normal efforts to keep their behaviour and discipline reasonable.
If you do nothing but unload the kid on a PS2 for 6 hours, then suddenly reappear and demand that they stop and sleep, no wonder they react poorly.
