Addiction

Whats the most addicting game you ever played in your entire life?
hmmm, i spent a few years on Cstrike. A couple months on Halo2.

 

Super Smash Brothers Melee. Period.

 

SimCity 4. Spent days downloading stuff from Simtropolis. Only reason I don't play it anymore is because the game stopped working correctly. As soon as I get my new computer, its back on!

 

Counter-Strike (From Retail to 1.6)
AND
Asheron's Call.

I played both of those games SO much.

 

LOL, that is a sweet game!

 

hmm, has to be Medieval: Total War. (The first one, and the first game I played in the series)
I literally played that and nothing else, every day for 6 months.

Sure, I've been playing other games a lot too, but never anything so single-minded as that.

 

Medieval II: Total War has had me hooked for quite a while now. Before that was Rome: Total War (can you tell I like the series? ). Also I love UT2003/2004, especially back in the day when people still played BR IG LG 135/35. (If you don't know what that means, don't ask )

 

Cs, Smash Bros, Halo 1PC Halo 2 xbox =[)

 

D2 was pretty bad...I'd spend endless hours magic finding

 

definately counter-strike: source

and starting on september 25th 2007, halo 3 will be my new drug

 

WOW

i need the 12 step program !!

 

Guitar Hero.

"played it till my fingers bled..."

 

Yes, Halo 3 will be the stimulant for many victims of this drug.
I will thrive not to be prey to this ''Halo 3''.

 

Wow, thats what i call an addiction.

 

WoW. I played almost 8 hours a day for the first 6 months, and have two relapses since. I've been clean for over a year now, though!

 

I am speechless.....

 

o gez it would have to be counterstrike on xbox live. I would play that game all day and all night long. Kinda like many WoW addictions. I also am a recovering WoW addict. Ive been clean for 6months and counting....

 

Counterstrike on xbox live? hmm i heard from critics,friends the graphics were
very animated like and the gameplay was very rigid..

 

My current true addiction is www.notebookreview.com , yes its petrifying but it is the truth..

 

I used to be hooked on UT2004, I plan on buying UT3 when it comes out.

| A | L | C | O | H | O | L | - My anti-game

 

Only reason my fingers bled was because we got a bit rough on face off mode, I got thrown into the tv, and my hand got trodden on.

 

Rofl! All over some Guitar Hero eh?

 

The wireless guitars make it all the more awesome, we can bounce around the entire room whilst playing.

 

Starcraft. I still play it today, nuff said

 

Jeez, I can't believe no-one's cited any of the Civilization series. One More Turn syndrome ate away at me like a cancer from 1996 with Civ2 through until
I kicked the addiction to Civ3 in 2005 just in time to finish my thesis. Come Beyond the Sword next month, it'll be back. I must have spent more time on those two games than on the rest of the games I've ever played combined!

 

Well yeah, Civ is a good candidate too... But for me, it's never been such a single-minded obsession as I had with MTW.

 

America's Army.

 

As far as serious addiction goes..it's Everquest 1 hands down for me.

I played it for about 3 years and all told I don't even want to know how much time I logged in that game. I didn't play nearly as much the last 2 years as I did the first, but if this gives you any scope to how much I played maybe you'll understand the phrase "addiction". There is a command in the game where you can see the total amount of time you have been logged on any character (/played) and about 1 year into my first character I was curious and took a peek.

The results were startling to say the least. In a 12 month period of time I had been logged onto this particular character for 42 days and change

It actually scared me. Nothing I could do though, I loved that game.

My current addiction, though a far less serious one, is Medieval Total War II.

 

Not to be smart aleck, but you do realize that had you invested this amount of time playing a real guitar you wouldn't have to pretend with guitar hero, right?

I mean probably not to the same "degree" or whatever..I've been playing guitar for 6 years now and I'm still growing musically. I guess that's part of the magic of playing though, you always continue to learn.

Cheers

 

Football Manager.....(formerly champ man) for thoughs of you who dont live in the UK you wont know this game, well but for thoughs of you who do....you will understand . And of course CS source!!

 

Definitely Starcraft.
The game is more than a decade old and is still loads of fun.
Can't wait till starcraft 2 comes out

 

Counter-Strike Source and Oblivion.

 

mmm....
CS 1.5 and 1.6,
W3 TFT and DotA Allstars (still in clan-Raijin owns),

Diablo 2....

OMG so much time in videogames!!!

 

was diablo 2 lod for me...now ive moved on to cs source. and runescape for a while actually too.

 

Considering the Guitar for Guitar hero doesn't have strings, wow, that's one hell of alot playing.

 

Diablo 2 (LOD of course) hands down.

Such an awesome game, at a time when I had alot of time.

Now I can't afford to get into a game like that...

I still often play Civ though. However the multiplayer never really captivated me, and that is where the real time is spent. D2 had me for hours.

 

It has to be World of Warcraft a couple of years ago, and actually it's Medieval 2:Total War. Can't wait for the expansion in august!

 

I was hooked on Medal of Honor for the longest. Stopped gaming for a year or two and now back on COD2. Rifle servers rock, one shot one kill

 

World of Warcraft... getting in a great raiding guild and progressing in PVE dungeons while making new friends... I still crave for it some days.

 

Dynasty Warriors series, I have each and every game
