What top games in your lifetime have you got addicted to?

[Envy]

Pokemon:
Red, Blue, and Yellow and Gold, Silver, and Crystal were the extent of my largest addiction. R/B/Y were the first handheld games I really ever enjoyed. Before that my Gameboy was pretty much just a brick. Lol. G/S/C came out and they were everything I wanted in a Pokemon sequel. I played both sets of games obsessively.

Animal Crossing GCN:
I suppose this game was just one that was kind of tailored toward me. I enjoyed its focus on friendships, being able to design houses, etc. as opposed to defeating enemies and bosses. I got soooo obsessed with the game that it went farrrr beyond Pokemon for me. When my first town corrupted I cried, a lot... And my parents were like "It's just a game, dear!" and I'm like "but, but, but..."

Sadly, or perhaps for the better, the series has never been the same for me since that game. New Leaf is the Animal Crossing game I will say is definitively better than the original, but even it couldn't keep me playing past a month in. I think it largely has to do with before Wild World's release I got high-speed internet in my home, and also got a social life IRL... I didn't have much of that back in 2002/2003.

I was also pretty addicted to Super Smash Bros. and its sequel Melee, but not as much as the above two.

The Sims 3:

I have 2,804 hours in my playtime tracker!
Not sure why I love it so much but I play it almost every day.

Tomodachi Life:

I love these little Miis I've made. I play it every. single. day. and love it.
It makes me laugh so much sometimes!

Nice, i have never played sims actually. Is it fun for anyone?
Also, is tomodachi life worth it?

Pok?mon
I was brought into it by one of my friends. I played SoulSilver and it was amazing! So I continue to play the games.
Animal Crossing
I borrowed Wild World from one of my other friends and I loved it so I got New Leaf. I STILL LOVE IT!
Tomodachi Life
You know why!!! XD

Sims is really a game for uh-- more casual gamers, people who enjoy stories and doing whatever, especially if you like messing around.

Tomodachi Life is really good. Especially if you like silly things, there's a ton of that. If you put yourself in the game, who knows what might happen, you might get married to.. a model, or even a clown- depending on who you put in the game.
All kinds of crazy stuff!

Never played Sims but I agree with you on Tomodachi Life. ^^

Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. I have it for Dreamcast, Gamecube, and Xbox 360 and sometimes I wonder just how many hours I spent in the Chao Garden LOL

 

[pandapples]

First was Maplestory. Dedicated years to that game and loooots of money. Then I moved onto League of Legends, then TERA, back to League, now Animal Crossing @__@ I think I get addicted way too easily.

 

[Magicflounder]

I spent most of my high school life playing TF2, so I have (according to steam) 987 hours in that game. Every time I play that game I end up getting back into the hat stuff, which means I've put way too much money into that game. I have an on again off again relationship with it now, so I'm not quite as addicted.

I recently put around 300 hours into Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, mostly playing Greatsword. Thankfully, it doesn't drain my wallet like TF2 does.

 

[Cam1]

I will try to go in chronological order:

The Simpsons: Hit and Run
That Spongebob Game that was on the XBOX about savig Bikini bottom
Forza
Pokemon
Sonic Heroes
Halo Reach (just messin around with my friends playing harmless mini-games)
Minecraft
Fire Emblem: Awakening

Nice lists everyone ^.^

For pc, It would have to be Wizard101. To me, that game was one of my first introductions to MMOs. Played for a good two years, accomplish some feats, spent a hecktic amount of time on it(Nearly 2 1/2 years... That's long for me considering I can't hold most MMOs for more than a a few months), and made some really neat friends~

For mobile, I'd have to say Brave Frontier. It just seems so meticulous for a game on that platform. In a way, it was like a crossbreed between Final Fantasy and Pokemon.

But the fondest of them all, Pokemon Yellow. That was probably the first game I've ever played in my life. I remember one time spending all day overleveling my Pikachu just to beat Brock because I thought it was logical... from what I saw in the anime at least. xD

The last game I got REALLY addicted to and couldn't put down was Warriors Orochi 3. It was the game that brought me back into Dynasty Warriors and introduced me to the Samurai Warriors characters.
It didn't last long enough but, I actually liked that it had an 'original' plot. *Granted, I haven't played the other two*

Right now, I'm addicted to Samurai Warriors 4. At first, I didn't like the differences from Dynasty Warriors and left the game to rot on my vita for about...4 months? I finally picked it up again three days ago and have been really addicted to it since. The only downside is all my character favorites died >:'c

Interesting list!

It's pretty neat! Only downside to it is that you need a prepaid prescription in order to access the full content. It can also be somewhat slow-paced depending on how you do things. xD

Not bad, I may have to check it out

I've put an embarrassing amount of time into quite a few games. Old school titles like Sonic and Battletoads, most of the Mortal Kombat games, the arcade versions of Killer Instinct and Fighting Vipers, and Pok?mon (though I was more interested in the coding and RNG research than the actual games for the later gens).

I played a lot of Halo 2 for a while, because a friend of mine played professionally and would always push me to play when we'd hang out. Other than that, Borderlands, Dragon Age: Origins, and Oblivion were all awesomely addictive Xbox games that I probably spent too much time on. -_-

League of Legends is pretty addictive, so I try to limit my time playing that one for the sake of productivity.

If I had to pick one game that I was rolling out of bed at 5am to play, it'd be Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero. The game wasn't particularly well done by any means, but it was so painstakingly difficult that I was basically obsessed with beating it.

Spyro: The Dragon
Spyro: Year of the Dragon
Spyro: Rito's Rage
Dark Cloud
Soul Reaver
GTA: Vice City cough cough
Sonic: Adventure Battle 2
Majora's Mask
Ocarina of Time
Pokemon: X and Y
and let's not forget Animal Crossing NL ho ho. Like 500 hours of my life are gone now thanx
But, I replay Spyro the dragon once or twice a year. It only takes me like 4 hours to beat the entire game now.

And I guess I forgot to mention Tropico. 4.
