So.. what game(s) are you currently addicted to?

[POed_Ex_Repub]

I was on Fight night 3.. now with the playoffs going on it's NBA Live 06.

Solitaire doesn't count...

Okay, maybe it does.

[Mutley]

1. Sudoku.

:mad: :bounce: :silly: :beer: :banghead:

[POed_Ex_Repub]

2. Isn't that the one where you do a sequence of numbers?

It's a brain teaser of sorts.. In the newspaper?

[Mutley]

3. Yeah.

Each 3x3 box has to have the numbers one through nine without being repeated, as well as all the rows and columns. Without being repeated. It's infuriating, but I just can't stop. :cry: :D

[marigold20]

48. I've been doing the mini-puzzles

Only 6 numbers but still frustrating!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

4. Tetris.

I actually regularly delete it. I'm sick at Tetris. I guess I have abnormally fast hands or something, because I can play a single game of Tetris for an hour plus easily. I also only start it at level ten because otherwise it's too slow for me.

[POed_Ex_Repub]

5. I used to have that on Gameboy (the original)

It has 19 levels. Yes, I know that the way you think I know that. :blush:

[station agent]

30. Still rolling with the Nintendo version

I pick it up every few months, get to 150 and quit because that's the limit for me.

[TallahasseeGrannie]

6. Texas Hold'em Poker

on Ultimate Bet

[POed_Ex_Repub]

7. Is that online?

I see ads for different poker sites all the time (and they always have tournaments on TV. World Series of Poker is strangely mesmerizing). But I also know people who do "Poker" night once a week. I tried it a couple of times but don't think I have a very good poker face. Jumping up and down when you have a good hand.. that's a bad thing right?

[TallahasseeGrannie]

9. Yeah online

Yeah, usually jumping up and down is a bad thing, unless you are bluffing. But it really pisses folks off.

[POed_Ex_Repub]

10. Yeah, but they wouldn't see me online ;-)

I'd imagine that makes it harder to read people. You can only look at the betting styles and no so much the body language. I suppose you could put on a web cam, but that could get a little too, um.. "casual".

[TallahasseeGrannie]

13. Playing online and in person

are like two entirely different games. First online is very, very fast. You have to think fast and figure your odds. And the players are fairly inscrutable. You can make notes about certain players but I have never had that really help. Sometimes you can figure a guy is a jerk because he is constantly going all in, but even a jerk can beat you on the river. And those are the heartbreak beats.

In person, with a nice drink, some wings..great time. I go to the dog track with my son in law and we play poker there. Now THAT is southern culture.

[Xipe Totec]

8. I'm playing who gets fired first with my supervisor.

For keeps.

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. ....

:spray: MrG is playing that too!!!! :rofl:

[Xipe Totec]

42. If you like games of chance,

you got to pick the ones that really lay it on the line.

My supervisor failed to take this into account:

Never play Mexican Standoff with a Mexican.

[Ariana Celeste]

11. Final Fantasy Tactics

Soooo easy to get addicted to. :loveya:

[mainegreen]

18. I haven't played that in ages! That is a *great* game! nt

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

21. Awesome game

[WindRavenX]

40. one of the very best

Addicting as hell.

[Ariana Celeste]

41. I agree

There are a few games I can sit and play for hours at a time... especially Diablo II- but Tactics is a whole different monster!

[MiniMandaRuth]

12. A game called Ghost Hunter.

Here it is:

http://www.123games.dk/game/other/ghosthunter/ghosthunter_eng.php

Addicting little puzzler.

[RebelOne]

14. First Class Solitare on Pogo.com.

This solitare game counts because you are playing to win a jackpot.

[underpants]

15. Cat stacking is WRONG!

http://www.thefrown.com/player.php?/games/stackthecats

and running. I didn't get a chance to run yesterday morning (schedules/baby) and I was in a horrible mood all day.

[Midlodemocrat]

29. No, it isn't. It is hysterical and addictive.

I got up to over 100,000 at one point.

[Random_Australian]

16. none

I don't play computer games at all.

Edit: Typo.

[In_The_Wind]

17. none

I don't play computer games at all.

[City Lights]

19. Sniper Elite and Sudoku.

Both are highly addictive.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

20. Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

[Tyrone Slothrop]

24. I was playing that for a couple weeks

And enjoying the hell out of it...

and then my graphics card went all "funny". Now whenever I install the drivers for the card my system automatically crashes on startup. Tech support and I are getting to know each other really well.

But hopefully someday I'll be able to come back and try to finish it.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

25. Which is why I bought an Xbox 360

I, too, am still enjoying the hell out of this game. :-)

[Tyrone Slothrop]

26. I would have too

Except I already had this big rumbling box for other purposes too.

My video editing apps are kind of shot now too.

[_testify_]

37. Oblivion is awesome on the 360!

Don't know if you play sports games but stay away from MLB 2K6. Freezes up before the 5th inning of every game I played - I started freaking thinking it was the Box, but I looked at some online reviews and it got panned big time for stability issues.

Thank goodness for GameFly!

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

39. Yeah, I heard MLB 2k6 was bad

Which is really disappointing because I really wanted to play some baseball. I think I'm going to get EA's new World Cup game soon, but Oblivion is definitely the class of the system so far. I already can't wait for the expansion!!

[Odin2005]

27. I just got Oblivion for my birthday, awesome game.

I got turned off from Adventure-RPGs since the absolte fuck-up that was Ultima 9, but Oblivion is sweet.

[Evoman]

36. I hate you

I've wanted to play that ever since it came out, but my computer isn't good enough and I don't have money to either buy a new one or an xbox (I'm a grad student, so I probably shouldnt be playing games, anyways).

Instead, pathetically, when The Oblivion came out I installed my old copy of Morrowind GOTY edition. Right now I'm fighting werewolves on solsteim. *sigh* its just not the same.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

38. I saved up for a while to buy the Xbox myself.

AND traded in my PS2.

Morrowind had a better storyline, Oblivion has a better game-flow, and of course, looks a lot better. I felt like it was easy to get lost and to sit around trying desperately to find something to do. Oblivion solves all of that quite well. Plus, once you try fast-travel, you'll never go back. All the major cities are accessible right away by fast travel, and every other location becomes available after you visit it once. This puts more focus on REAL gameplay, instead of wandering around nothingness for eternity between quests.

You'll be quite happy once you do play Oblivion.

[CrownPrinceBandar]

44. I love Oblivion.......

Finally I have found the game that gave me the good ol' dungeon crawl that I was looking for. It took a little while to get used to the blocking thing, but I really like it now. I also like that the world is so expansive; that you can pick a direction, walk and come across all kinda encounters. The only complaints I have is that there is no multiplayer and that there is no obvious way to take screenshots. The screenshot thing is usually not an issue, but when I was playing it last night, my character bulls-eyed a charging giant rat in its eye, with an arrow from about 20' and I had no way to save it for posterity.

[SacredCow]

22. HALO 2 on the XBOX...

And Bookworm on the PC, which has proven to be a long-term addiction...

[LynneSin]

28. Swords of Chaos

It's an old fashioned MUD game I use to play back in the 90s

telnet://seabreeze.servegame.com/

you'll have to hit G, G, B to get to the game and E to enter

[Cathyclysmic]

31. The Da Vinci Code game on Goggle..

http://flash.sonypictures.com/movies/davincicodequest/

[Left Is Write]

32. On the computer? Gems.

[Reciprocity]

33. Spider Solitaire. This game is addictive.

[yellowdogintexas]

46. try double Solitaire, my current addiction.

I have a huge collection of computer Solitaire games and this is my current challenge.

[GOPFighter]

34. FreeCell

I've probably wasted a full year of my life playing it when I'm bored.

[TimeChaser]

35. Kingdom Hearts 2

I've beaten it already, but I want 100% >>

Plus I found my Chain of Memories game, so I want to play that again.

[Briarius]

43. Everquest 2

speaking of which...:D

[beyurslf]

45. Sim City 4 and Civ 4

[Nikia]

47. Diablo 2

Even though I've played every character class. My husband always likes to rush through the game, handing down all the uber gear that he has kept on his higher level characters. I prefer doing things the hard way, but I never can resist good gear when he hands it to me.

[driver8]

49. Hearts!!!!!

I love to play the card game Hearts. Problem is, once I start I can't stop!

[0007]

50. My favorite game is the world faster two handed game.

[helderheid]

51. Sims 2 (currently the business one)

[mandyky]

52. QBz2

I have GamePass at Real Arcade, and get a free game each month.
SoDuKo is another favorite.

I also play backgammon at Shockwave and pogo. Also poppit and tumblebees at pogo.

[hyphenate]

53. A couple, I guess

Jewel Quest and Puzzle Inlay. I've gotten through Puzzle Inlay on all the puzzles except for the 20th one under Elliptical--it's an ice skate that is pissing me off royally.

Jewel Quest I've gotten to the second level, but went back to the beginning for a second runthrough to enjoy it more.

A couple of others, like Letter Linker and Scrabble, but those are just word games mostly, so I can't say they're exactly new.
