Well here goes the list:
Final Fantasy XI although it's an MMO so it doesn't really count
Diablo 2 - many full days went into this game ugh.
Warcraft 3 - Same story as D2
Pokemon - 1st, 2nd and 4th generations
Bomberman LIVE - Online is addictive
Geometry Wars 2 DEMO - Was broke for a while and playing the demo with my roommate for hours on end.
Bioshock - Finished in 1 sitting, didn't know anything about the game before going into it which really sucked me in. This was the first FPS I've actually sat down and played since Perfect Dark 64.
Dead Space - Finished in 2 Sittings, as soon as I got to the sliding rock part on the last chapter I put the game down.
Patapon - It's just great
Super Mario Bros 3 - Wide variety of levels, fun to play with friends and family
Left 4 Dead - Completed the 4 chapters then headed to versus with the same people in one sitting of about 6 hours.
Final Fantasy IX - Played through many times with full completion -Excalibur 2

Nothing to be ashamed of, those games are absolutely fantastic and huge timesinks for me as well. First day I had the first one I sat home alone and played for like 8-9 hours straight and was just about to call it a night when the Swanana appeared. With a name like that, how could I resist trying to lure it in?Lockedup said:
And so on. In spite of myself, I fell in love with Viva Pinata.
But my biggest timesink ever is still Baldur's Gate 2. I can't seem to get enough of that one and replay it about once a year. If you've done it even once, you know approximately how many hours it takes...
Don't. Be proud.Zani said:
Same here, Oblivion and Pokémon Blue, Red and Yellow had me absorbed better than the greatest sponge ever. Now, back when I was young and hardcore, I could play ANY game until mom forced me to go to bed. I'd rise early, play all day and only pause for the primary needs, if pressed. Shining in the Darkness, James Pond III and Sonic 2. Oh, and at a friend's place, we played SNES all day long. Mario Kart, Secret of Mana, Donkey Kong Country, you name it.
Nowadays? Not so much. Now I hang around this here forum and IRC instead. Did have a Diablo II: LoD period recently, and that sucked up entire days.
fallout 3, the witcher and mount blade are my current time sinks. However back with the first knights of the old republic, no other game has had me quite as hooked.
I was looking up from my controler to see the clock reading 8, having to rush to get to school and sleep when I got home.
It was far worse than even wow and such games.
