Games you find yourself helplessly addicted to.

The Forza series ever since Forza 2. I have Forza 1 as well but when I got in to online play in the sequel I was hooked. I play it almost every day.
Also The Elder Scrolls. I've spent so much time in Oblivion and Skyrim just adventuring around, avoiding arrows, exploring places and finding cool things and characters. Much like Forza, I started with Morrowind but didn't fully get in to the series until later.
I used to be addicted to Pokemon but as the series went on I grew tired of the games just being the same crap with worse new Pokemon designs, so I stopped. I still sometimes play the older games just for old time's sake but they're going to need to do something really amazing to get me back in to the series.

I loved Final Fantasy X but I hated some of what you had to do for a 100%. Like dodging lightning. I also found Blitzball really hard to get into. Other than those two minor things I spent about 2-weeks playing nothing but FFX, beating it for the first time. Speaking of Final Fantasy...johnnybravo said:
...THEATRYTHEM!! I've already beaten Chaos and have just got an S on every basic course for each game. I'm mainly just leveling up Squall, Titus, Cloud and, Cecil (at least until I unlock Snow, Vivi, Lock and, Minwu).
The ending always makes me tear up. Every freaking time I watch it, I tear up a little bit. This is my favorite game from the main line.j-e-f-f-e-r-s said:
Minecraft. It's too fun! It's beautiful styling, fun gameplay, lovable monsters, never-endingness and freedom make the game explosively enjoyable for me! And there's room for roleplaying with mods, and with the accessible skin creation thanks to the poor (but beautiful!) graphics mean you can play as almost anyone you want! Just anthropomorphise and you're set to go! I like designing my own skins. Again, it's a creative outlet!
And all my old games for the PS1. I play almost every one each year, or sometimes bi-yearly. It's a routine event which I refer to as the nostalgia-boom! It often moves on to some PS2 games such as Ratchet and Clank, and Timesplitters.
And the Elder Scrolls games. They will always be played. Every single one. I plan to one day play them all. Just Arena and Daggerfall to go, really. Although they're probably three times as cryptic as Morrowind...but I LOVE Morrowind, so...it'll probably be amazing.

Ya i was horribly addicted to wow for years...stopped cold turkey last year and haven't looked back. Don't think I've been addicted to any one game since....if anything im addicted to the internet and games in general lolSeeIn2D said:Well I used to be horribly addicted to World of Warcraft when I was in like 7th grade so about 5 years ago or so. Since then there really haven't been any games I'm actually addicted to. I mean Call of Duty 4 has about like 35 days of gameplay on one of my accounts so I guess that one, but in reality I played that so much not just because I really liked it, but because at the time I didn't really have any other multiplayer games, and there weren't any on the market I was interested in. As a result of this I pretty much beat any single players games I had on 2 or 3 difficulties, then went back onto CoD4 because multiplayer=replay value IMO.
I do however occasionally have stints where I'll have a Skyrim craving and I'll get on and play that non stop for a week or two but that usually dies down, so I guess I'd call that a temporary addiction.
But the moral of the story is:
Yes the game is in all honesty extremely fun. But don't get into lol. Trust me.
Right now The Secret World is all i think about. usually i am a bit of an ADHD (no offence intended) gamer and cant sit on any one thing for long before moving to the next, the list of games i have seen to the end is incredibly small. but that dam TSW has wholly sucked me in. don't know weather its the whole set in the now times or weather its the alluring aspect of all the conspiracy theory stuff. but dam I just cant get away.
Heroes of might and magic III, the only one in the series I like really liked. Something about just draws you in. The little musical tunes that chime enough times to enduce a feeling of pure ecstasy every time you find a treasure chest. The fact that you'll convince yourself the mostly mentally insane AI is out to get you, it is I swear it. Everything about that game just drags you in!
I REALLY feel your pain. The amount of sleep lost to me by Civ4 is nigh uncountable. So back to the original point, Civilization for sure, and lately, Morrowind. Good god the amount of stellar mods, and just the content experienced when you go back to an old game with all it's expansions out (especially such a large one as morrowind) ensure i am, and likely always will be, nowhere close to "finishing" that game.Sneezeguard said:
Um.. lets see, well lately I guess Skyrim. Over 500 hours on it so far.

Defense Grid.
Tower defense, but looks great, has a story, I "finished" it a while ago... but I continue to come back to it! There are so many levels, so many different scenarios for each level.
Also, Mount and Blade. It's one that I can hold off for a month or two, then I'll read/see some fantasy battle or fight scene, and need to scratch that itch again... Takes a while before riding down bandits on a horse gets old.

Deus Ex. Been playing that game since 2002(?), every year, multiple times, without fail. Bought the PS2 version on the PS Store just to experience it in another away.
Well I just remembered how much I played Ratchet and Clank when I was younger. I've played through both PS3 ones a few times but nothing compared to what I did with the first 3. Ratchet and Clank had around 50 playthroughs. Okay. That's a bunch. Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando had around 150. That's quite a bit more. Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal had upwards of 400 playthroughs. Safe to say I was quite addicted to those three, especially UYA.

OT:
Monster Hunter games, obviously, and if I give myself a project in Minecraft I end up forgetting what my own shadow looks like and my cats cease being occasionally distracting cuddly-pillows and become usurpers of the Great Throw of Minecraft Poseidon - tearing me from my throne and casting me into the real world with their headrubs and their scratching-at-the-doors.
