What game (if ne) kept you from sleeping or basically having a life at all? For me it was Elder Scrolls III:Morrowind. I grew very addicted to that game, till the Game of the Year Edition for Xbox came out..I' m currently lifeless now

The Gran Turismo series. My favorite events in them are the endurance races and I used to play them back to back... to back, to back, to back... and so on. I couldn' t get enough of it. I can' t wait for GT4 (espeacially now that I know Prologue Edition isn' t coming to North America).

Hmmm...games don' t normally do that to me, but if there was one, I' d say it would have to be FF Tactics. After five years and 450 hours of total play time invested through four play-throughs, I guess it' s one of those games I just adore to death. And when I first got it, I spent a whole LOT of time with it all at once.

Morrowind owned me for about 4-5 months straight. Nothing could get me off of it. Crazy level of addiction. Umm... Halo hand me pulling several all nighters when I got it. I played though the game like 6 times in a row. DOA3 just sat there silently as the other launch title I got with the Xbox. StarCraft is also one of the games that hand me staring blankly at the computer screen for hours on end.

Halo (Both XBOX and PC) had (have) me playing multiplayer for hours on end any time someone is over. Also, Counter Strike(both versions), any Unreal Tournament, and almost any FF.

Oh yeah, Halo. I was addicted to that too (but who wasn' t? ) I only had a few chances to play that 16 player on X Box but when I did, man, was it amazing! Good times.

Front Mission 3
Skies of Arcadia
Shenmue 2
Virtua Fighter 4 evo
Gun Valkyrie
Phantasy Star Online
Starcraft
Project Zero/Fatal Frame

and many more I can' t recall just right now. Hardcore or sad? probably both.

Morrowind and FFX...I played both of those games nonstop for the longest time. I also have to add Grandia to that list as well. I remember my schedule playing that game...wake up and eat, play Grandia until 2 p.m., eat again, play Grandia some more, eat dinner, play Grandia until 2 in the morning, sleep. Repeat!

This will sound dumb, but, Sim City, or Civilization are 2 games that kept me up nights. I was intensely addicted to those games.

Final Fantasy XI kept me a little too busy. I got the the point where in a month, I would have logged atleast a week worth of play time. That' s just one game

Then I suddenly decided that MMORPG' s aren' t for me right now, I have too much going on to spend all day leveling up and farming.

Wow Fathoms....

ummm...

Been outside the house much?

Joe: Heh...that was when I was in college. Probably 300 of those 450 hours came in two years, and the rest over the last part of the five years. With a full-time job, that' s tough to do now (of course), and my game time is limited to about 10-15 hours per week.

I' ve never been able to play 40-50 hours per week like those insane MMORPG players. That' s just sick. LOL

lol hell ya it is. When I used to play, if I were grouped up with some people and we were doing very well for a few hours I would say I had to go and people would go psycho on me. I would say " I' ve been online for 6 hours it' s time to eat and take a damn shower!" , and they would go crazy on me.

Those games are like a drug

Yeah, those people have NO lives. 6 hours isn' t even long for them. They will literally sit there for 50 hours a week and play (if you can even call that " playing" ).

Personally, I can' t play a game for more than 2 or 3 hours in a row. And those hours will probably be it for the day. Some truly great games (FFT, CV: SotN, SMK, FF VII, etc.) could feasibly keep me playing for 6 hours, but that would be a LONG session, and I probably wouldn' t go back to it for a GOOD 24 hours. LOL

FFX, Zelda: Ocarina, Unreal 2004, MoH:AA

Anything that I' m close to beating. I' ve stayed up to ridiculous hours for the purposes of beating Wind Waker, Skies of Arcadia, Final Fantasy X, and Xenogears, to name a few.
