Starcraft II. I needed an RTS and I had seen some tutorials of it on youtube and now I can't stop. Not that I'm any good online :(

Team Fortress 2.

I had heard about it, watched a few videos of it, looked fun. Then i find myself with 20$ and nothing to spend it on, so i said "what the hell, lets give it a spin"..... turned me into an addict, and i"m still loving everything that is being updated and released.

Another game is the Kingdom Hearts series. First, my Nan owned it, and she used to play it every once in a while. Decided to pick it up... I now have Kingdom Hearts 1, Chain of memories, 2, 358/2 days,( all bought in that order) and have played them each about 5-10 times. I'm getting around to buying Birth by Sleep, just need a bit more spare change.

Oblivion. A friend "found it" and gave it to me. Didnt like it at first but after a little bit I was hooked. Spent every night just playing for hours not even doing anything main or guild quest related. On a side note though I finally finished the game on the 360 with all guilds and main quest completed. All in all it took me about 200+ hours of gameplay.

As an 11 year old, I asked for Mario Kart 64. Was terribly disappointed when I got F Zero X instead, but I've probably got at least twice the play time out of F Zero X than I could've Mario Kart.

Deus Ex 1. I didn't actually buy it - my dad bought a bunch of games of slightly dubious origins - but I really enjoyed playing it, and got rather into it.

Gratuitous Space Battles.

Saw it on special on steam and thought fuck it.

A few hours later I also found a Star Wars Mod =)

Mashed Fully Loaded. We used to have a common room with a PS2 in it last year at University, and it had no games. Out of a bunch of 10 games we got including Capcom vs SNK 2, Burnout 3 and Star Wars Battlefront, we played Mashed all the time, everyday. One of my mates decided to tally every lap he did of a track called Polar Wharf and he hit about 3000.

No common room this year though, and there is truly a whole in our lives where Mashed used to be...

Mount and Blade. I bought it because I had some spare money and there was a sale on Steam.

Next thing I know I'm yelling at the top of my lungs at the screen as I conquer Calradia in the name of Swadia. This was repeated for months.

Oh, and Minecraft too!

I got Mirrors Edge to spite my friends who all said it was shit (Although they themselves had never played it). I still obsess about it and check google every couple weeks to see if there are any new articles about a sequel.

I bought Jade Empire on a whim. Was able to get it cheap as part of a deal at GAME. I didn't have any high expectations for it. Anyway, ended up really enjoying it and played it a lot. I think it was the first Bioware game I ever played.
