[a href="http://www.thewayoftheninja.org/n.html"]N[/a]. You play for hours to try to beat that one level, with that one bit that you just can't seem to get past, and when you eventually do you don't sense any accomplishment.

But I still keep playing.

Prototype I guess. I was looking forward to it since I saw the first preview trailers, then I played it, and thought it was a real letdown... but I kept playing it, and enjoying it.

Fallout 3's another one. It's not a bad game, but why do I like it? No idea...

World of Warcraft is a game I'm glad I've stopped buying game time for. I'd play that game for hours on end doing... stuff. Maybe I just liked the fact that I was in a casual, friendly guild. I didn't even bother with raiding.

Damn these confusingly enjoyable interactive media works!

Mafia Wars

It is almost text-based game that takes my time everyday. I dont even have anything to do in it but to wait another city to be released.

I think so, but just to be sure, let me check...

Oh, yep, you did, right there in line two. Still, I think the reasons for liking it are obvious enough; it's atmospheric, challenging, and immersive.

As for me, I'd have to go with Morrowind. The graphics are almost painful to look at, the combat's terrible, the movement's clunky, etc. I could go on and on about it's issues, but for whatever reason, they don't bother me.

That damned Farmville. I've mastered strawberries, and now I'm working on eggplants, despite the potential carpal tunnel syndrome and general tedium involved.

What in hell is wrong with me?

Bejwelled.

I don't know if I could call it like, but if I am sitting around in my car waiting for someone to run into the house and get something, I always pick up my phone and play it. Even when there are more interesting things to play.

I just like to make things disappear I guess.

Half-Life 2. I have no idea why I like it; the story is meh, the gunplay is dull, the puzzles are all the same, the AI is atrocious, the characters are nothing special and the setpieces are not really that impressive, yet, I enjoyed the hell out of it.

haha, i remember playing that... less than a week ago doing exactly as you said and now feel like playing it at this exact moment (gaaah!?!)

outside of that, Harvest Moon, Animal Crossing and obscure JRPG's such as "Rogue galaxy"... seriously, that Rogue Galaxy game (its a recent PS2 one i've picked up from a bin). The story is predictable, having a different cliche for each planet you visit. So far i've had to leave many a treasure chest unopened to advance in the story with no sign of every being able to return to previous planets. Characters are ripped out from other popular JRPG's (such as a character who's blind in one eye, always leans against walls, is too cool for the rest of the crew, has a rusk voice and weilds a much bigger sword than the protaganist... and no, this is definatly not an accurate description of Auron from FFX).
Though i am very fond of the battling system... and that one boss fight against a massive monster and was promised lots more. i've had lots more, i just haven't had 200000 frikking Hunter points from any of them, making me feel like i'm not advancing.
Your allies are retarded as well (you only control one, kinda like Star Ocean style), not just their voices but in Battles they never seem to try block attacks... boss battles its best to let them die and get them out of the way so that you aren't using health potions on them every 3 seconds.

wow, lots of complaints, from me, against games that i like... haha and that was actually only 1 of the games :p

K Dice [http://www.kdice.com/].

Its overly simple, the winner is really dependent on luck, and most people playing it are assholes.

Yet I keep going back to it...
