Paperboy  Posts: 13 Joined: 14 Aug 2008    | I'm not addicted to one game, but when I buy a new one, especially if I've been looking forward to playing it, I must finish it. All else comes second until then. |

Paperboy Posts: 40 Joined: 14 Aug 2008  | Learning new abilities. I don't have to use them, I just want to know them. FFTA2 is a great way to exercise this habit. It'll force you to spend about 3-5 minutes before every match making sure everyone has what they need. |

I too have kicked my WoW addiction as of the beginning of the summer break. |
Paperboy Posts: 41 Joined: 14 Aug 2008   | Patapon and Meteos. Patapon just amazed me to no end, a rhythm game (which I usually hate) mixed with an RTS (which I always love) and incredibly cute but violent creatures. Meteos was just Tetris sped up really fast, and when I closed my eyes I could see the game screen and play it in my head. |

Paperboy Posts: 41 Joined: 14 Aug 2008 | Xenosaga? We're talking about game addictions, not movies :P I prefer Xenogears, the much much better one. |

Beat Writer  Posts: 137 Joined: 9 Aug 2008 | I WAS addicted World of Warcraft. I still play it, but not nearly so much. I do other stuff with my life too now <=D |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1413 Joined: 27 Jul 2008   | I never had this sort of addiction, and I never will have either. The only kind of addiction I do get however is when I play only a single game for extended periods and not getting off until I've cleared it (singleplayer) more than 5 times. This happened with: |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2877 Joined: 20 Jul 2008    | I guess I would have to say Super Mario RPG for the SNES. Just loved playing that game... and then sadly would have to return it to blockbuster, never could find it in the stores either. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1557 Joined: 31 Dec 2007    | I guess my first was Runescape... The original 2D one, that is. Then it was Empire Earth (Playing online) which I was pretty much a god at, and after that it was WoW. I've kicked them all, but still occasionally drop in on Empire Earth. The servers are running dry now though... |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 724 Joined: 5 Jul 2008   | Let's see here I think the only game that I've spent more time than was awesome was .. .. Diablo 2! |

I have the same problem. 130 hours on my character. It was only to be expected, really. I spent way too much time on Morrowind. I'm guessing about 300-400 hours. I'm a lost cause, I know. |

I have 120 hours on my best character. Then I have around 60 hours for my second best. Then I have craploads of level 10 characters that I tried to use but never got the feel of them. In total I've got around 300 hours minimum spent on that game. I still occasionally play it aswell. I'm a huge Oblivion nerd, I'm in love with it. |

Paperboy Posts: 31 Joined: 9 Apr 2008 | I used to have a pretty bad Civilization IV addiction. Like the type of addiction you would expect from a WoW gamer. |

I was exactly the same. I spent months and months playing Oblivion non stop. Even when I went on holiday all i could do was thing about it ¬.¬ |

Chances are, you've come across a game that's so awesome and grounbreaking in your eyes, you forgo food and water and forget the outside world. Let's all share, shall we?
My two would probably be Diablo II and World of Warcraft...damn you, Blizzard. Also, I know this doesn't really count as mine, but a friend of mine got so addicted to Diablo he actually got insomnia...like, medical insomnia.
