I've been playing Stronghold Crusader lately, and needless to say it's still fun and I still suck at it...

Persona 3. For whatever reason, I thought I wouldn't be able to beat the final boss without being at least at level 96, and anyone who's played that game should know how long it takes to level up sometimes. Turns out the final boss was only on level seventy-something, and I only needed to spam Armageddon to beat it.
Was helluva lot of fun, though.
I was only at level 80 and it took me over 3 hours to beat her, just that battle was a huge time-vampire. Not to mention the first time I died at the very end (I had no health, Nyx's turn was next and if my attack hit I would win, if it missed I would lose... I missed.) I still love that game though.

I would also have to add pokemon (and if my Chansey would evolve into a Blissy I would have caught them all) and of course minecraft.

Dues Ex: Invisible War. I was trying to beat it with nothing but a tranq gun and didn't buy another game for four months. I had to have ripped about 100+ hours into that sucker. Eventually though I ran into mechs, spent entirely too much time trying to figure out a way to not have to fight them and then it came to a point of frustration and I just went with "talk to the rocket launcher Robbie...." Of course all of that energy spent on that game felt like it went by in an eyeblink....
My sister is trying to get through DX1 using nothing but the stun prod. I think she's up to the MJ12 helibase right now.

The last game she played before that was Halo ODST
On Easy Difficulty
Ouch. I know her pain. Is the whole "beat it with nothing but a tranq gun" a standard thing with Dues Ex? Will it be in the upcoming one? I have only played Invisible War.

Good luck with that whole tranq gun vs. armor plating thing, there's always a way from what I've heard, I just didn't find it and didn't fancy investing another vacation or four....

Im about to break my 300th hour of dissidia o.o...I started playing it again once info about Duodecim came out in preperation to give up the remainder of my life playing that. Just couldn't ever stop. Been playing it for 4 or 5 hours straight the past few days as "breaks" from whatever I was doing before that.

Oblivion, back when it came out. I think i may have completed it 100%, all of the quests and skills i managed to max out.

I'm going to go with Borderlands and The Sims 3.

Like earlier, I was playing Borderlands with my boyfriend and it felt like an hour went by but he said we were playing for about 3 hours. o.o

I just love Borderlands, probably because I love doing the elemental attacks and I just love killing people. :))

Team Fortress 2 probably holds the record for most cumulative hours spent on a game for me (1,326 hours).

When it comes to marathon gaming sessions, Civilization V definitely qualifies. I started a game one afternoon and didn't stop until I suddenly realized the sun was rising.

Most games have been that way for me at one point or another. In Assassin's Creed 2 I'm hunting down viewpoints and codex pages, and it has that "just one more" mentality. Same with side-quests in Mass Effect 2. Or clue bottles in Sly Cooper.

I don't usually play deep into the night, but the Touhou games have taken a good chunk of my life and I'm still not all that good at them. I spent 36.5 hours on Touhou 7 alone.

For looking at the clock and headdesking at how much time spent, Minecraft.
For general time consumption, TF2.

Any of the pokemon games. I had to hide the fact that I was playing them constantly otherwise my parents would probably have taken them away if they knew how much I was playing. Once I had a GBA SP with the backlight I pretty much played them all night so they wouldn't find out but was so tired in the mornings.
