Ever Randomly Got a Game And Became super addicted to it?

[NoblePhilistineFox]

I bought Monster Hunter Tri because I finally found a game that I could pre-order(yes, the only reason I bought the game was to say I pre-ordered it)
and im rank 89 with plans to buy a psp for Freedon UNITE!! and im also trying to import a copy of Frontier(and also make a japanese IP adress so I can play it T_T) because its so addictive XD
im itching to use the gunlance, it looks so cool XD

i bought assassins creed 2 without ever witnessing any gameplay of either 1 or 2
i knew it had good reviews and whatnot
but bought it on no evidence i'd enjoy it
and it's one of the best games i've ever played
not THE best of course
that'd be in a bizarre topsy turvy world
but it was an amazing purchase

Minecraft! Oh god it is eating up all my free time lately. I tried it during the 'free weekend' on the request of a friend and the moment Notch's servers were stable again threw the $15 at him and ran away giggling madly like I got the bargain of a life time. So much fun and its only in Alpha, can't wait for the Halloween update pack =).

This to the end of the Earth.
By the way, I've found a server that DOESN'T CRASH EVERY FEW SECONDS!
No idea what it's called, but it has a kick-ass world... the IP's 98.202.184.133

Mass Effect. I walked in to Gamestop right after I got my 360. With my mind set on an RPG, I picked up Oblivion. I got to talking with the sales guy and he recommended Mass Effect. Seeing aliens on the cover, I felt a little iffy, but thought 'What the hell. It's only $20." In the intervening two years, I have sold my soul and my first born child to Bioware. Oh, and I barely played Oblivion.

Team fortress 2. I got the orange box just for half life since i heard it was amazing. It came with tf2 so I though why not. I still play it everyday, got over 230 hours on it.

 

[Shadowfaze]

Dynasty warriors gundam 2- saw it cheap, had a spare £20 so i thought why the hell not. Played it for 14 straight hours and got a migraine headache.

Conkers bad fur day on n64!!! A friend left it at my house and forgot about it, so many nights sneaking out of my room when i was a kid to play that game.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

Baldurs Gate. My brother gave me some old CDs of his and i was tied to the PC for weeks.
a newer example "hey check out this Minecraft thingy here" "ok" result: a whole night of digging into the depths of the world, hiding from monsters, searching the precious ores i needed to defend myself and to build a fortress full of traps.

Killing Floor...

We should get together and be addicted together...

Minecraft D:

 

[Underground Man]

Age of Mythology. I couldn't afford a lot of games as a kid, so I just played that one until I practically had the whole thing memorized and could emulate it in my brain.

WoW....yeah, I know. I don't play anymore though.

More recently, Yume Nikki. Can't stop thinking about it.

 

[DonMartin]

The Secret of Monkey Island.

And all the sequels.

It just happened!

 

[dancinginfernal]

Dragon Age: Origins.

So much time put into that game...

 

[jamescorck]

Tetris Blast on the original Game Boy.

I played that game so much I started seeing tetris blocks everywhere.

 

[Dragonforce525]

My mum used to own a video rental shop, and she had a small shelf with about 12 PS2 games on it, all of them were crappy games I'd never heard of, at the end of each day before closing I would be allowed to choose one movie/game to take home and bring back the next day, and I was in that situation where nothing looks good to you but you don't want to leave empty handed, so I just ran over to the games shelf and picked up Dynasty Warriors 2, I played the shit out of it all night and have bought every single Dynasty Warriors game since.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Oblivion. Picked it up on a whim when I got my 360...here I am, 4-5 years later, with 4,000 hours on the fucking thing. 4,000 hours on the bloody 360 version.
