GTA IV, I don't remember the last time I couldn't beat a game within a few days...

WoW is cocaine, and Pokémon...well, over 210 hours of FireRed did it for me, then I had my fill.Senaro said:
Oblivion recently. I spent years of my life on Warcraft and Warcraft 2 though. I've also spent months trying to discover every last secret on games like Doom and System Shock. But my most obsessive gaming achievement ever (don't know if this counts as an "addiction" but it's pretty bad!) was playing Super Street Fighter 2 for four months straight until I'd got a run of thirty-two perfects in a single game (on a Genesis console, therefore no save feature) - beating every single combatant without taking a hit or blocking a special move. You'd have to go some way to beat that!
you know, i'd have to say guitar hero 3. it is such a great game and i'm still playing it, even though i've beaten it like 6 times. i play with my friends, which makes it even better because i totally pwn them. but when rock band for wii comes out, i'll play that even more. but, overall, guitar hero is sooooooo addictive
Neverwinter Nights 1 and 2. Pretty much every few hours, I'd think up a new character build and try it out without using cheats to level them up. I've also put over 150 hours into each Final Fantasy since VII, and I've lost entire nights to both Fable and Alpha Centauri.
What? No one mentioned AudioSurf?
I must have played it for over 24 hours in the week after getting it, and I still go back to it incredibly often. The only reason I don't play it even more is because I don't have that many musics that are decent to play.
Other than that, Diablo(any) and Dawn of war(any) come to mind. Defcon definitely has its times, as does UT2004. Trackmania Nations Forever also took a lot of my time rather recently.

maplestory, online MMORPG. Biggest problem is the grinding, but when youve got friends on, its pretty damned fun and addictive. my in-game name is TheCH31F if anyone wants to start up and needs help, Im almost never on before 11:30PM on Friday, but i come and go throughout the week and weekend.

Final Fantasy VII was probably the worst for me, school holidays came around, 6-8 weeks straight off with nothing to do but just play constantly. Would often find myself on for 16 hours straight. Realised it was getting bad when I would wake up and get straight on at around 8 or 9am, then get the call for dinner at 6pm and have not eaten anything yet, or moved since I first sat down (except for possibly a quick bathroom break). Ahhh, the days before annoying requirements of life like "a job" and "friends" got in the way of proper gaming.
Most recent game I was hooked on was Half Life 2. First day I started playing it I figured a few hours gameplay to get the idea would be good, and finish it on the weekend. Found myself constantly saying "just a few more minutes, just to the next area" and putting off heading to bed. Last looked at the clock at around 10pm. Next thing I know, just as I beat the finale, there's a surprising amount of light coming in the windows, and there's birds I can hear whistling the morning's hellos. Got to sleep at about 5:30am, had to be up around 7am, but totally worth it.
Does anyone else find that when playing Sandbox games particularly, it's easy to waste a few hours doing nothing really at all? Just killing randoms, stealing cars, creating little self-made challenges, etc.

3Ds Max. It may not be a game to you, but it's fun to fool around in.
And Half-Life 2 is incredibly fun.
