Pokemon Black says I have 500+ hours on it. Seeing how I leave my DS in sleep mode plugged in over night instead of actually turning it off, and that black stays in the wireless mode while closed, the 500+ should be reduced to about 70.
One I actually wasted the most time on... Maybe Unreal tournament on my old Dreamcast. Played so much in my childhood.
If not the pokemon series would be it. In all the games would probably actually be 1000+
Red, Yellow, Gold, Crystal, Ruby, Emerald, Firered, Diamond, Platinum, HG, SS, and Black. Easily 1000+ total.
But If all my PS2 games (2000+) were added... Like 3000+.
All games together... I'd say 5000-6000. Maybe more.

FFXI
*pulls up clocked play time*
879 days, 12 hours, 31 minutes, 33 seconds.
Doesn't include when I'm sleeping, since I don't leave my PC on overnight.

I would say either DotA or FFXI. Well games I played the most, I don't necessarily count them wasted. Except for FFXI waiting around LFP...blehhhhhhhh
Probably FF7.... spent many hours of my childhood playing, and replaying it.
Then there is MAss Effect 2, i have played it on all classes (infiltrator twice, good and evil).

Though I haven't played for a over three years now, I'm certain the answer is WoW. I try to remember the friends I've kept from when I played and not think about the huge amount of time I sunk into it. If I count the Pokemon franchise in general, I'm sure it's a close competitor. In every generation there's been at least one cartridge that I've logged over 250 hours on, and I recall replaying the Gen I and II games several times over back in that day. My time invested in Pokemon is likely a couple thousand hours or more by now. Runner ups would be Left 4 Dead, Diablo, and Diablo II.
WoW, hands down...before I quit I did a /played on all my characters (that is, the ones I hadn't deleted, didn't have on a separate account and had on my primary server) and got to well over a year of played time. If we also count the passive play time (research, calculations, guild management etc.), I'm ashamed to admit I've probably spent 1/4 of my collected time focusing on WoW during those years I played it. Suddenly it's clear to me why my relationships went to hell back then.
For a 2nd...I'd have to flip a coin. I've had multiple playthroughs of all the Bioware games, and I just completed a season+playoffs on NBA2K11 with all games played (48 minute games, yes)...
I wonder if my time couldn't be better spent doing other things.

Well, to be honest... It is about equal throughout all the games I've played. Cumulatively I have played: well... it's well into the thousands, possibly tens of thousands.
San Andreas. Especially good replay/dicking around value with cheats (after the main story ofc.)
Can't think, probably all the time I spent on GTA IV running people over and holding hostages in the hospital...
292 hours on TF2. I never did much idling, though i'd sometimes run that "illegal" background program while i did my work. Never left it on over night like the rest of the population.
I reckon i spent a lot more time than that during the 3 months i played WoW, but i'd rather that time be forgotten to eternity. I'd probably castrate myself if i saw it.

Even when I play, though, I dick around a lot. I'd say if you wanted a count of time where I actually got anything done in games, and wasn't letting my character(s) idle, going back and forth between stores, "I forgot to pick this up on my way! Balls!", etc, etc, etc...you could effectively cut down any playtime counter I have by at least half.
That happened to my last roomate, too. I feel for you, I really do.Mikeyfell said:
Easily World of Warcraft, just on one particular character I have 4000+ hours. I don't want to add up all the other characters because then I'm just going to think about how much time I've wasted.
