Most addictive single player game

[esperandote]

Plants VS Zombies... Brains.

 

[UltraDeth]

Every so often, I feel like a round of Left 4 Dead

 

[FreakSheet]

Okami, and Half Life 1&2.

Just Cause 2 was also fun. In a manic, blow everything to bits sense.

 

[Pinguin]

It's a close one between Minecraft and Diablo2, I think.

 

[NEMESIS 94]

Phantasy Star Online? Anyone? Even with my single player only characters I could easily get over 100+ hours
Halo 2. Soo many custom games!!
Any Elder Scrolls but specifically Morrowind:Bloodmoon
Both KOTORs
I'd like to say minecraft but I rage quit after every creeper kills me
Final Fantasy XII
Zelda OOT and MM
Red Dead Redemption
Civilization 3

Good, I thought that I was the only one to rage quit after I die because of a creeper.

For me, Portal and Portal 2, pokemon, the kotors, and pretty much everyone else already said.

 

[cgmetallica1981]

Any of the Diablo, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., or the Fallout games, especially the first two.

has to be Football Manager for me, i have gotten over 400 hours on the 2011 version, and i got over 600 hours on the 2010 version.
the addictiveness mainly comes from the fact that winning trophies never gets boring, no matter how many i win in a row, plus there's the fact that the game compares you to historical managers in a "worlds greatest" table, meaning i often look there to see how i compare to their overall scores and then i want not only beat their scores, i want to dominate them...

PATAPON IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THAT DRUM BEAT OUT OF YOUR HEAD

 

[uzo]

Good to see lots of votes for M&B. Next time you see me online jav me in the back of the head and say 'The Escapist sent me' or somethin'.

Beyond M&B, I'd say Rome: Total War. It's the pinnacle of RTS, and all you Starcraftfags can go to hell. Zerg rushing gits.

 

[Juicebox52]

Pokemon emerald, Because of the Ammount of side quests and bonus content, Even after beating the game (Battle frontier, Steven Battle, Catch em' All, Pokemon contests, Re-Battling Gym leaders and trainers) And Lots More.

 

[Sarcastic_Applause]

Members of the Total War series; Because i have an insatiable lust for Conquest and the tears of Romans fill me with Joy...

Pokemon Soul Silver was good; i really enjoyed re-matches with the gym leaders, and i've still trying to pummel that Smug Trainer Red into the dirt!

 

[thelastmccabe]

I've got to go with the Civilization series. I up all night playing that game a bunch of times when I was younger, especially Civ 3.

Lately, my girlfriend and I have been playing angry birds a lot before we go to bed, and it's been pretty hard to put down. I would bet that some people around here probably look down on Angry Birds (I know I did before I tried it) but it's damn fun, and it's only $1 if you've got the needed hardware.

 

[Platypus540]

Civilization. Any of them really. Just one more turn. Just one more turn. Just one more turn. [4:00 A.M.] Just one more turn...

 

[thecoreyhlltt]

grand theft auto vice city, there ain't nothing better in the world than being tommy vercetti and driving around listening to laslo

 

[Krinku]

Deus Ex, System Shock 2, Oblivion, FO:NV, and Chrono Trigger. Frikkin' played these games multiple times over the years. Each playthrough was unique and different.

 

[darth jacen]

TES IV: Oblivion and Bioshock for the same reason, I loved exploring the world and just living within the atmospheric and immersive levels.

 

[Strazdas]

uhm, for me the most addictive is probably heroes of might and magic 3, closely followed by games like civilization, total war and hearts of iron. online i only play games that are online by nature (mmorpgs) and the rest im only itnrestedi n singleplayer (thus very dissapointed whne you spend 20 euros on a 4 hour game with 0 replayability *cough* red faction 2 *cough*

 

[TrevHead]

Dodonpachi or Mars Matrix plus any other good Japanese shmup.

 

[TiloXofXTanto]

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

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

'Tis true that 'tis good, but beware of the meat circus my friend, it may break you.
