Ehh...I'm not addicted, per se-- I buy I game, I finish said game in less than a week, I'm left with that empty feeling. The longest I've played total is...Assassin's Creed-- beaten the entire thing some four-odd times (clocking sixty hours). Close runner up is 2008's Prince of Persia (forty-nine).
EDIT: I forgot to mention-- I just came off an Overlord II hype-induced binge, clocking at twnty-eight-thirty-seven.

Gears of War! I bought it. I started it. I finished it.
BAM.
Before that I think the one I just could not put down would have to be Warcraft, specifically the third one.
I have a thing for wood elves.

I almost had to drop out of school because of fallout 3. I had to lend it to my brother so i wouldn't play it and start studying.
Fifa earlier informed me that I had officially spent more than 50 hours playing it. Which...really...made me feel like it was judging me...
I think... Team Fortress 2. Sometimes i do not touch it for a month or so, but then i can't get enough for days.
I think i am at around 150 hours wasted total so far... sigh.

Fallout 3, completed it twice in the release weekend, then played it on and off for a bit, then trophies came out, BAM! Playing it again to get the trophies. Now with the oncoming release of Operation Anchorage, guess what's back in the console Fallout 3.
Damned game, consumes my life and electricity, which I have to pay for.

Only game I've felt addicted to in well over a decade, probably closer to two, would be World of Warcraft. While I was married, I played a lot of the game due to my wife never being home. Wasn't really addicted since I would stop the second she got home or if I found something better to do, but it was fun and I had a ton of time on my hand. But then came the divorce, and my life became WoW. I know it was mainly me not wanting to face the real world, so I dove head first into my character's world instead.
But then I found myself playing more than even that. I was not sleeping. I was calling into work to play. I wasn't satified with just one character anymore. Ended up with seven, all maxed level and well played each day. Had dozens of more characters across several servers also that I played with friends. I would sleep maybe two hours, wake, do about fifty daily quests, run a few instances with friends, and then raid, and then raid again on another character, and then another if time permited. If not, there was always some PvP.
Eventualy I found myself lost. Friends quit playing or fell behind, in-game material became irrelevant cause I already had it all, anything new quickly became old. And my eyes opened for the first time in a long time.
My friends, my co-workers, even my ex-wife were all still out there in the real world, just waiting for me. I greeted them all with open arms (except my ex) and quickly found there was indead life after divorce. It was time to move on and find myself again. The real me, not just some character.

Kingdom Hearts the original. I bought it as a present for a friend, but when it turned out that he hadnot intended on inviting me to his party i started to play it myself. Once i started playing, well suffice to say, i logged 98 hours into my first go round.
