Most addicting games you've ever played?

[Dodie16]

I'm not ashamed to admit that there have been a few games that I can honestly say became an addiction for me. Here's the ones that I can think of from the top of my head:

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

I lost count how many times I played and beat that game. Sometimes, I would play it and just ride around Hyrule on my horse, or jam on the ocarina. Plus, I loved exploring, and for some reason I really never got tired of running around doing nothing. I got so good memorizing the environments in that game, that I never got lost in the Lost Woods. I didn't even have to listen for Saria's song to guide me through.

Animal Crossing: Wild World (DS) and City Folk (Wii)

Yeah, I was obsessed with those games. I actually thought I was starting to develop some sort of problem, so I got rid of both of them. I sometimes wish I didn't, because I loved just wasting time catching fish and bugs, or decorating my house and taking care of my plants. Chatting it up with the neighbors was pretty fun too. I liked writing them letters, and then getting letters back from them. I know. I'm a dork.

I was so addicted to those games, that I made sure that I played it everyday. Why? Just in case Tom Nook was selling something rare in his shop! I didn't want to miss out on that! Or if some visitor happened to arrive, so I made sure I wasn't going to miss that. Also, I had responsibilities! I had to make sure my flowers were watered, my neighbors were happy, and make sure that there were no unruly weeds making my town ugly!

I suppose I should count Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town as well. Yeah, I got a little carried away with that game. Not nearly as bad as Animal Crossing though, because it didn't run on real time, so I could leave the game off for a day or two and be fine. I still clocked in about 5 years in-game time, just making the townsfolk happy, making sure my crops and animals were taking care of, and earning that gold! I wanted to get enough to buy the summer cottage, but after a while, I just didn't care about getting it anymore.

Super Mario 64

Even when I got all 120 stars and there was nothing left to do in the game, I would still play it. Why? It was fun. I would mostly goof around with the wing cap, or surf on lava with the turtle shell. Also, I would go back and redo some of those stages just for the heck of it, even though I had already gotten the star.

So those are my games that I was addicted to. There's probably a few more that haven't crossed my mind yet, but if I think of any more, I'll add them in.

Final Fantasy Tactics

Amazing game. Even after I got all my character to their max level I still keep playing. I ran around and got in random battles. I have 7 save files of it. Each of them have different characters with different jobs, except of course the hardasses(Orlandu, Beowulf, Worker 8, Reiss, and of course CLoud). On every file I have done everything possible. No more dispatch everybody is maxed out. I love that damn game, which is why I put around 100+ hours on every save file.

Any Tony Hawk Game

I have always been a big fan of skateboarding so this game series stuck wit me. The newer ones have free roam and shit so you can do the story line or skate around for the hell of it. It was also good to how many points I could get in the shortest amount of time. My highest was around 10,000,000 in a three minute run. Its that amazing seeing as how I have played guys on xbox live that have doubled, and even tripled that....Assholes....

Halo 3

This game is only addicting if you have xbox live. The campaign is fun, but it gets tedious going through it over and over again. With xbox live you meet new people, and it is nonstop fun.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare

I started playing this again on live. Suprisingly there is still a shit load of people that play it. I wasn't gonna play it again after I got MW2, but I got to prestiged real quick, and fighting isn't deathmatches and shit aren't fun on it anymore. On MW1 I still play with all my friends, plus the campaign kicks ass...

Gears of war 1 & 2-

These games always leaves me satisfied, and keeps me coming back for more. The control and feel you have over your character, the wall bouncing, and the shotty/snipe is just brilliant. I haven't played either of them online for a month now, but when I do its going to have to be # 2 for damn sure! If you play this game add my gamer tag: x 3PITOM3

Resident Evil 4-

This was the first game in the series i actually sat down to try and beat. The games i usually come back for have to be online but this one never got old, and when you get the Chicago Typewriter is it a breeze. Did anyone else think RE5's challenges and puzzles were really weak compared to this game?

Halo: Combat Evolution-

I have never felt more pathetic saying this but this game had my brain fiending for more every day. The first 2 years it was out me and my best friend had beat it probably 25-30 times on legendary, and would do 2v2 on "Hang-em-High" against his step dad and his brother every week. I'm really excited that Halo: Reach is going back to the old school style of game play!

Final Fantasy IX & X-

IX was the first 3D FF game i played and it didn't ever let me down in any aspect of the game. It had a great story, characters, and the mini games were just awesome (The Chocographs were really fun to look for, and a pain in the ass sometimes!) For X theirs not much to say that i didn't for IX, besides the new grid system for your character, and blitzball which were great additions to the game. Well i guess their was a major jump in game play and the new voice dialogue they added made the game feel more real and alive which was a great addition!
