I could have sworn I've come across a thread like this one before, but I couldn't find it in a search.

But anyway, if I'm not careful, I can see myself currently getting unhealthily addicted to Guitar Hero more than any game ever, if the last week or so has been any indication. And I don't think there's ever been any game in my house that has been played so heavily by me, both my brothers and my sister. I think prior to that, my biggest video game addiction was probably Crash Team Racing a few years ago. Yours?

RPG Maker 3, of course. I mean, I can make my own game. What's not to be addicted to it aboot?

Tetris Attack. Definitely. I can play for hours if I don't watch myself. It's also one of the few games that has that affect on everyone else in my family, because if you get them set up playing Puzzle Mode, you will not get the Game Boy back for a loooong time.

A three-way tie between Animal Crossing: Wild World, Mario Kart DS and Dance Dance Revolution. Electroplankton will be added to that list upon purchase.

Seriously, all of those games pwn.

Animal Crossing: Wild World or Wario Ware: Touched!. So much fun! I haven't played Wario Ware much recently, though.

I played that game so, so, so many times. The only level I was never able to beat was the one with the mutated Rancor.

The Age of Empires series. Whenever a new one comes out I have to play it for weeks, and then it's off to rehab.

Megaman Battle Network 3: Blue

I've only done it twice, but from Friday night to Sunday evening, I played the game non-stop and completed it both times. It's the fact that it feels so... futuristic (Duh. :P) that draws me into it. I don't think I'll be doing either of those ever again, though. It's too sleep-depriving.

Ahh, yes. I forgot about Animal Crossing: WW and WarioWare. I like the original, especially the "Dr. Wario" mini-game. Gotta love the nostalgia!

I hate most modern games. They're all 3-d and color and crap, but beyond that they're really time consuming and mindless.

I love drod ([url]drod.net[/url]) though. Beware, the stupid shall not last long in this game.

Before I moved, I was really loving In The Groove (dancing game made by expert DDR fans, a labor of love and quite fun to play). As of now, though, I'm mainly into just playing Life Force and Tecmo Bowl on the old NES.

Pac-Man

Oh and the Flash game Planet Gobbler can sometimes be weirdly addicting. Especially if you're bored.

Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town was ALL I DID IN MY FREE TIME for the first 5 days after getting it. Seriously, my day went like this: wake up, get ready for school, go to school, come home, play Harvest Moon, eat, play Harvest Moon, sleep.

Yeah.

Galaga. I'm awesome at this game. When I get playing, I could be playing for a very long time.

Oh yeah, Galaga! How did I forget to mention that? It's definitely the best Space Invaders clone ever.

Thirding Galaga for two reasons.

The first being the aforementioned "decent players can get 10 minutes of fun on one quarter" factor.

The second being that Galaga has those moments of utter mu-shin Zen where your mind empties and you just suddenly find yourself being the ship, dodging missiles and hitting shots perfectly as if that's what your mind, body, and soul were built to do from the start.

Galaga IS great. I especially like the part where you destroy the alien that took away your ship and suddenly have two ships. Nice touch.

I always aim for the extra ships. I've only gotten three at the same time though. What's the limit?

Most embarassing thing ever for a kid of my generation:

You beat them in Mario Kart. You can cream them in just about every sports game ever made. When it comes to multiplayer Halo, they don't ask and you don't want 'em to. It's just be an embarassment. However...

Your parents can still pwn your behind at Galaga any day of the week.

What makes it really addicting is:

Unlocking all the Die-O-Ramas.
Getting everyone their own costumes.
Getting crystals and gold in ever challenge.
Master every character(and there's like, eight of them-Crash, Coco, Crunch, Cortex, N. Gin, Nina, Pasadena Oppossum, and Ebeneezer Von Clutch)
Do every characters seperatre missions(this means getting everyone all their other tier cars and their other tier weapons.)

...and a lot more stuff.

It's time for some violent games.
GTA: Vice City. Played that nonstop for weeks when I got it.
Any Battlefield game.
Any Total War Game.
Seriously, get a Total War game.
I'm not kidding. Get one.

Animal Crossing is the single most addicting game I've ever played. As The Brothers Chaps once said, it's like video game crack.
