most addictive video game

[kami]

World of Warcraft.

Gameplay time logged: 43 days - that's over 1000 hours. I play a lot more casually now though...maybe 5-10 hours per week.

CS.

I would have to go with Diablo 2 as most addictive I've played; because addiction implies a somewhat negative connotation of continuing doing something even when it doesn't make any sense to keep doing it.

tetris, bust a move, puzzle fighter, CS, C&C

It's "divorce in a box."

I was most addicted to the original Counter-Strike. It was the first online game that I played, and for about 6 months, I was absolutely obsessed.

It takes a really good "thing" (book, movie, game, etc) to grasp my attention and keep it. The funny thing is that I either don't like something at all, or I become completely obsessed over it. Here are games that "held" my attention (read: created an obsession):

- Solder of Fortune II (maps sucked for the most part, but the weapons "felt" amazing)
- Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield (ran a community, but finally got fed up with the bugs and lack of support from UbiSoft, so I gave up on it)
- UT2003/UT2004 (wrote UAdminMod and ProZoomInstagib and ran several servers)
- Battlefield 2 (<- current obsession, writing a server browser and starting a server or two)

Console games that I got really wrapped up in:

- The original F-Zero
- The original Final Fantasy
- Street Fighter 2
- Kid Icarus (probably the best platform game I've played)
- ESPN NFL 2k4/2k5
- EA Fight Night 2
- MX vs. ATV

Yep. Hate to go old school but Tetris was the most addictive video game ever. Hands down.
