Most addictive single player game

[Ando85]

I know it is all too common for online games such as MMOs and multiplayer FPS to be addictive. But, what single player game have you played that you could simply not put down? What made it so addictive?

Deus Ex. Seriously, I've finished the game so many times and yet I can still find a different skill set to pursue and still I can finish the game without problems. Great story, great atmosphere and it's so flexible it puts the acrobats at the circus to shame.

Psychonauts.
...
Not much more needs to be said on why, It's Psychonauts.

 

[GoldenFish]

Mount and Blade
Mostly the mod Prophecy of Pendor I just can't keep myself from coming back to it.

Right now? Fallout: New Vegas. I'm pretty sure I've played it more than I've played Fallout 3, but I'm not sure if I've surpassed the time I spent on Oblivion.

That does it. I am now going to the Steam Store and buying that game. I just keep hearing good things about it.

I'd have to say Demon's Souls. Have put a little over 225 hours into it.

My votes go for the following

Pokemon because hey you got to catch em all

Metal gear soild (all of them) I always find myself starting a new game whenever finshe one plus items like stealth cameo add to the repalyabilty.

Fallout3/New Vegas even after finshing the main game and quests it's always fun to explore the places off the beatean path in that world and see what you can find.

Really? Minecraft

Hey hey hey, I've been minin' all day long...

errr, every 6 months i replay bioshock 1, for the awesome story. also fallout 3, and minecraft

 

[Grotch Willis]

I would go with Mass Effect 2, when I first got that game, I was addicted to it.

 

[AlternatePFG]

Mount and Blade

This times a thousand. I love Prophesy of Pendor.

 

[The-Epicly-Named-Man]

Dwarf Fortress is pretty moreish, and AC II is fun to replay, but I'm gonna have to say RDR. I've probably spent more time on that than any other single player game.

 

[Scarim Coral]

The puzzle game Lumines come to my mind and Pokemon too if you want to catch them all. I'm not sure if Animal Crossing count since I was addited to it for a few months but for the wrong reasons.

 

[TacticalAssassin1]

Far Cry 2.
It's just so awesome.
Great setting, awesome atmosphere, fun guns.
Great SP game.

 

[Vkmies]

Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. I have played it every year ever since it came out. My guess would be around 900 hours in. And still lovin' it.

 

[Rawne1980]

Mount and Blade Warband.

Such a simple looking game but I keep going back to it.

 

[conzan]

Final fantasy 10
Mount and blade: Warband (not fire and sword i mean really no taking towns for my self what the...no no this is not the place)
Demons souls
assassins creed is always a game i can go and fuck around in for a long time
oblivion (100 hours of side quests plus a ton of fun mods)

Tetris for GameBoy. I played constantly for an entire summer a few years ago, by the end I could see colorful blocks when I closed my eyes to sleep.

 

[ZeroMachine]

Dragon Age 1 and 2 for me. (YES, even 2).
