Prince of Persia for the 360, ~12 hours. One of those 1001 light orb things glitched on me, so I had to play the entire game over.

"SAVING: Do not turn off power..."

Wasn't joking.

Either that or Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem after I got up to the level with the Italian architect and realised that I had missed a glyth thing I needed to pick up the previous level. There was no way of going back. So it was impossible to play any more.
You can miss essential items? I've never managed that. I missed a survey but you can go back and do them.
Miss the statues and you can't get the Enchanted Gladius for the final battle, and you can miss the Mantorok rune for beefed-up spell alignments... but neither are required.
I managed it. You know when you have to make a zombie to activate a trap? I didn't get the final glyth from the Indiana Jones-like level to summon creatures like zombies so I couldn't activate the trap without dying.

Call of Duty's in general, I end up playing them simply because I don't feel like having messages from umpteen people saying "OMG why don't you have this go get it NAOW" it happened before with World at War so with about 2 weeks worth of gametime spread over 4, Mw2 and Waw I have given up. ON the upside it's a couple of weeks as apposed to the months/years that most WoWer's waste so not so bad I guess

Easily Halo 3.

I still play it often, although that's more because all my friends have it, and that they are very closed minded.

If anyone can suggest a cheap, good, multiplayer game on the 360, I would be very grateful.

PS: no MW/MW2, and it can be pretty much any genre.
Shadowrun is cheap and a good laugh not the most popular game these days but still pretty fun.

I died 5 times in different spots about 90 minutes in 5-2 in Demon's Souls, so I lost about 8 hours and a good chunk of my sanity.
That is the worst level in the entire game.

When my saves got corrupted in Metal Arms: Glitch in the system, and i has to start over.

Or the time i completed a game 100%, but it turned out i had spell't my name wrong, although, that was more depressing then time wasting.

To all the people talking about how long they played their games, only to *GASP!* not lose their saves or have their accounts wiped for no reason:
[HEADING=1]THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS THREAD IS ABOUT.[/HEADING]
It's not about how much playtime you sank into WoW or anything, but how long you spent playing only to have your save corrupted or forget to save.

So here's my contribution:
Oblivion. I finish the main quest, do Knights of the Nine, and am nearing the end of Shivering Isles when something terrible happens.
Lightning bolt during saving.
The next day, when I try to load my save, praying that it's not corrupted, it is. I stare at the tv for several minutes, then rise to my feet quietly, before going on every single one of my online games and griefing the fuck out of everyone for a week.
One of my favourites has to be from Garry's Mod griefing, where I acted like an absolute minge, including ERROR sign playermodel, while playing the weirdest Exosounds I had collected in my time.
Billy Mays here with another fantastic product.
FUCKERS.
*Machine gun sounds.*

Yeah, it's murderous. When all my deaths turned the world black and caused red trolls to spawn everywhere I stopped trying to beat it and just sneaked my way past 90% of it, got killed one last time near the boss where you pass through a wooden gate only to be backstabbed by 3 plague guys hiding in the corners, then beat the boss on the first try. Then I slept for 10 hours.

This is hard for me. Whilst I did have long stints with World of Warcraft and Star Wars Galaxies, where I could play for all day for many days, these were intensive periods that kinda died off after a while. On the other hand, Ive pretty much played Jedi Academy, Battlefield 2, COD4, and Morrowind since release, without a long break (my normal gaming plan is play a game through, do the extra bits, leave, repeat in a couple of months), and these four seem to get into the regular cycle more often than they should.

However, in terms of total hours played, it is VERY close between Battlefield 2 and Morrowind

Sorry, didnt read the original post clearly enough. I had a pokemon save on the classic game (blue) where I had all the pokemon. Whilst saving on the train, some git barged into me, knocked my gameboy and knocked the batteries out. Game wouldnt load again :(

When i was playing Mafia the first missions when you have to escape from the mob in the Cab or when you have to run for your life to Salieri's Bar... that, and the final mission "the death of art" (moded version with a lot more of enemies...)

Oooh, I remember. I was playing Pokemon pearl, and after a good six hours or so of finishing the game, and training Pokemon, my little sister comes to watch. Everything's find, power's up at max, and for this reason, I hadn't saved.

The my sister clicks the game out of the DS.

I feel your pain back when i first got emerald i spent a few hours and got to the 3rd gym when right after i beat the leader- my sis presses the power button( i forgot about the miricale of saving)
Gah. It's as though all sisters all hate Pokemon.

But, I guess we learn from our mistakes, eh?

Mario 3.

Got to world 8 for the first time. Got to the last level.

My little brother accidentally used the warp whistle.

I still feel guilty for the punch I gave him.
