How do you balance revision and entertainment??

I always seem to entertain myself too much, for example playing games for too long or watching movie after movie etc. How do I balance this with my studies??

Just stop. And get on with it. That is, if you want to do well in life.
Usually I start working around 9AM and will take breaks when it gets too much for me. I also never work past 6PM so I can have time for myself to relax.
Tbh, I was a bit sad when I was at school, but I made revision my absolute priority for the months running up to my exams, and did a couple of hours a night in the earlier months in the year. The way I thought of it was that I would get the best part of 3 months off school once I'd finished, and films, books, games etc would all be waiting for me. I got good results, so I was glad I did it that way, and I continued like that through all of my studying, right up to finishing my degree.
Schedule and self-discipline.
Same with getting anything done, not just revision.
