At the moment, I'm playing "The World Ends With You" at 4 in the morning which keeps me up most the night, But mos other times I tend to just play whatever DS game is in the cartridge slot when I turn it on till the wee hours

TF2, CSS, CoD4 and WoW.

I've stopped playing all of those, but I'm going to renew my WoW subscription now that I know how to limit myself.(I used to be obsessed, but I stopped caring what happens in games)
I think I should be glad MMO's weren't really all that popular when I had gobs of free time to play them or I'd probably be a shallow wreck of a person. Tribes launched the summer before I was old enough to work and I spent 10 hours a day playing that game. That being said, it might be that some of the early offerings tainted my perception of the genre as a whole. I first played Anarchy Online and I've never had a more frustrating game experience, since I would encounter a multitude of terrible bugs on every play session.

This. For me at the moment its the latest advance wars, though I've been known not to sleep for 24 hours just because of the game Elite Beat Agents. Darn its addictive.

I've been losing sleep over Team Fortress 2 and Tales of Vesperia.

Now Chrono Trigger is going to add to my insomniac tendencies.

Zombie Panic: Source. I always think to myself "just one more round" 6 rounds later, I'm not in bed yet.

Fable 2, portal, left for dead... I only seem to buy games that I lose sleep to.

I lost a lot of sleep in the summer for Lost Odyssey. To a lesser extent, GTAIV had me up late towards the end (7am :p)

I didn't see it mentioned, and I've lost more sleep than I care to remember from this game:

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

I made sure didn't sleep until I was the first in my school to complete GTA:IV, and first I was.

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned real time strategy games or games like Civilization yet. Those ones really steal time and, before you know it, it's the wee hours of the morning.

Really, any sufficiently enthralling game does this. We just had gaming black holes [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.82504] thread. This is the same thread with barely shifted perspective. I would say, insufficiently different[, but with the potential to have been an accident].

Freelancer did it the worst to me actually. Plenty of games have had me staying up past the time I ought to be heading to bed though, recently it was Deadspace, Fable 2 and Fallout 3. I reactivated my Warhammer Account and played as the empire tank over the weekend and I was up until the wee hours of the morning but that really isn't anything to laud Warhammer for as I almost always have terrible sleeping habits on weekends.
Damn Freelancer was great...
And yeah, I have to second on Deadspace, Fable 2 and Fallout 3. Dead Rising and Persona 3 did it quite a bit too.

Zelda games get me, and so does Left 4 Dead. I never don't eat though...I can't bring myself away from food. I love it too much.
