What's the Most Addictive Game You've Ever Played?

[MetalJoe]

Another vote for Championship/Football Manager here.

Pure football gaming genius and I've been addicted to this game ever since the Amiga days. On the current game me and my mate have had a Barca/Real game that's been going for about fifteen seasons!

My girlfriend however absolutely hates it. She's reckons it looks like a spreadsheet package or something.

champs for me. I remember when football manager 2005 came out last year, I had just started seeing my current fiancee, the game came out, but because I wanted to make a good impression I spent the night with her and just looked at the cover and read the instructions. One year on and when football manager 2006 comes out this friday she wont be seeing me all weekend.

Another champ/footy manager vote here. I even send fake newspaper stories to my mates about my progress, or lack of it. My mate is even worse than me he sends me full page stories about the supposed expolits of my players. The game eats your life, a few weeks ago I was moaning to Katy how tough it will be for me to keep the Wednesday in The Championship because of my lack of funds and a stranger overhead me and thought I was talking about the real Sheffield Wednesday! I was too embarresed to admit that it was all make believe.

WoW, currently at about 270 hours. It's ruined my gaming life. Proper videogames have been piling up since I started playing WoW. I think I'll give it a rest for a few weeks and complete some console games. I've been on the final level of Ace Combat 5 since January or February

I ain't touched WoW for exactly that reason Razu - I know having been caught up in the DC PSO world what the implications are likely to be.

Tetris
Street Fighter 2

The most addictive game I've ever played is Phantasy Star Online.

Street Fighter III, on Live. I've just battered this consistently since it came out last year. I've no idea how many hours I've clocked up on it in total, but it must be a hell of a lot.

I just can't stop playing it- there's always something new to learn or some other trick to suss out. It's utterly amazing how Capcom have made such a deep game.

I haven't had the game out of my xboxs' disk tray in 4 months. It's what almost cost me repeating my 2nd year.

Anyway, i've left it wel alone atm until i finish my 3rd year but tuesday afternoons after Uni i'll take a fiver down to the arcade in manchester and practice the stick.

I got my spunk coloured Q challenged by 3 asian lads. Picked Ken *groans* and each took a round turn against me [best of 5 you see]. It was pretty ace to see my spaz out Q plough through each of them , one after the other. ^_^

Wonderful game ^_^

Dunno bout being the most addictive game ive played, but Prince of Persia - warrior within, jus keeps me going back, he's so versatile and the way you can explore the 3d environments is great, making those big leap or tight ledges is so heart racingly fun! Its like what tomb raider should have been like on a next gen console, alas its become a shadow of its former self. Anyways, the time rewind option is a brilliant addition, it justifies the crazy ass jumps you need to make from time to time. Its the first game in a long time i dont wanna put down. Im so sleep deprived now....................... thansk bleeders................... ^_^

Sensible World Of Soccer on the Amiga. Used to sit infront of a small TV unit in my bedroom, Amiga 500 hooked up to a 14" portable. Would play for entire Saturday/Sundays at a time. So good.

Closely followed by Kick Off 2 on the Atari ST (my mate couldn't afford an Amiga!). Went over his house every night for like 3 years playing that.

More recently, WoW, up to about 220 hours the 2nd time round atm. As stated earlier in this thread, it really does ruin your gaming tho. Just no time to put in any other games. :/
