Most Addictive Game: Ever

[Iwata]

On the PC, the Total War series most definitely suffers from "Just one more turn" syndrome.

On consoles, I love the Fallout games. I just get lost in time exploring the wasteland.

I have to say Minecraft ugh that game is the devil I swear

I've gone into marathon mode for many games but the series that sucks time like no other is disciples. It blends a high fantasy universe (I love high fantasy stuff so there's addiction point #1) and the tried and tested formula for addiction - turn based strategy gameplay. It's like heroin for me.

Alpha Centauri is even worse in its addictiveness, but truly butt-ugly...

I tried to play Alpha Centuari, but I just couldn't get past it's look.

I don't get where all the hate for Alpha Centauri graphics came from, it looks just fine to me.

Spoiler

I think the Aesthetics have held up perfectly well.

I couldn't get into it myself, but that's just because I was no good at it.

OT: The most addictive games I can think of right now are Mass Effect 2 and more recently, L.A. Noire. I literally spent all of the free-time I could playing both of those until I finished them, they were just so good that I didn't want to do anything else.

Let me be perfectly clear: the game is amazing, but it looks like my bathroom after a night of heavy drinking. I'd happily pay $100 for a remake, just as long as it comes in colors other than blood red, placenta purple, vomit brown, and what-the-hell-did-I-eat green excrement. Normally I'm not at all picky about graphics, but even I have limits...

Have you taken a look at the Planetfall mod for Civ IV? http://www.moddb.com/mods/planetfall

You are truly evil, you know that? Here I was just planning on spending time outside and reading over the summer, and then you come along and show me this. Thanks a lot, now I'll never leave my apartment. Bastard

Hopefully this works with my Steam version...

Mwahaha! Mine is a laugh of evil!

It works with the Steam version! And it looks a hell of a lot better than the original Alpha Centauri.
You evil bastard...ruiner of summers...something...etc...don't wait up for me.

*alt-tabs away*

I never really get addicted to games but I find the series that I keep coming back to is the Civilization series. Civ 4 is pretty much the one game I keep installed on any computer I own at all times.

Final Fantasy tactics advance
One more mission... one more mission... OH FUCK I HAVE SCHOOL IN AN HOUR AND I HAVEN'T SLEPT!!!

Ahhh good memories

I Love this person! Yes, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, had over 90 hours played on it, god damn that was addicting.

Also, a nasty little game (probably mentioned to death so far) called Oblivion, I loved it so much. I never did play Morrowind though..

Saint's Row 2. The amount of stuff to do is insane!
