Lock's quest for DS. I got it because it was the only thing I could afford that sounded resonably good, started playing it, the looked up and realized 6 hours had gone by.

Fallout 3, I had to buy the GoTY addition because the copy I was borrowing from a friend for free wasn't enough for me to play after I beat the game twice...

Now I'm addicted to WoW, I can break the addiction, but then I get on and bam, I'm hooked again.

Burn Zombie Burn is another game I can hop on all of a sudden and play for awhile, though it gets too repetitive. Though MW2 online can hook me everytime...one more game turns into 10 more and then 20 more and before you know it it's light outside :p

Resident evil REmake. Thought it would occupy me for a few hours while waiting for halo 3 to be released and ended up playing it more than halo. I have no idea how many times i've completed it since.

Movie Battles II mod

Years ago I randomly downloaded it. Thought man this game is great. It was the only game I played until it died a few years later.

Unfortunately (I think) I've never randomly gotten a game, at all... ever.

But I've been surprised by how much I've enjoyed some games. Does that count?

Wanted to play a JRPG but didn't want to spend too much money so I ended up buying The Last Remnant on PC for about £7. Something about the combat really resonated with me and I ended up sinking over 100 hours into it. And that takes a while when you have something approximating a 9am-9pm job with work on the weekends.

Dungeon Maker II for the PSP. Found it cheap in a bargain bin, and man did I get hooked on it. I'm a lover of dungeon crawlers and get hooked easily, but having the twist of designing your own levels and having to really think about the layout just made it super addicting to me.

It's kind of why I'm worried about picking up Recettear right now, though I'm kind of happy my laptop is much less portable than a PSP.
Join us! Recettear, I bought it on a whim, now I find it is one of only two games I actually make time to play... though in combination with Dynasty Warriors Gundam (2) its... odd.

I kinda found runescape...Hate on it all you want I enjoy it but I got hooked to it and I'm afraid my mouse will die soon
Same. when I was around 13 or so my friend recommended it and made me a user. forogt about it for around a year then went back on it and boom! every spare moment on the internet, runescape.

Also Rythmn paradise for the DS. Thought I'd give it a try and spent the next month just trying to complete it.

God, I've lost so many hours to that game with the words "I'm going to bed after this level..." I don't even know why I downloaded it, I had just bought a $50 XBLA points card and was on a hydrocodone blur after getting teeth pulled and it the next day it was on my 360.

But a really random game I picked up was Borderlands. It was cheap at a pawn shop, so I picked it up just to see what it was about on Friday. About 12 hours later my brother comes in and asks if I'm ok because I hadn't been out of my room. I played until I just crashed and he took it in his room to try it and did the same thing. Today I told him he had to give it back because I was jonesing for it so he gave it back and went and bought his own copy. It quickly became one of my favorite games of all time and my brother feels the same way. It's really weird considering neither of us like FPS and didn't care about the game at all until we played it.

As many others, Fallout 3. I hadn't heard anything about it until launch day and my brother told me to go get it, so I did. I have put over 900 hours into it now.

In 2005 I saw Morrowind: GOTY edition in a Media Play store, and decided to buy it. Fast forward a few months and I'd sunk God knows how many hours into that game. Hell last year I played through it a few more times. I love that game.
