You know what i mean those games you just can't put down. The games you start playing and are still playing at 6am.

I remember starting a game of counter strike online once and played from 8pm till 6am the next day. with countless bt cut off's it still didn't stop me going back.


And the other night i started playing shenmue 2 from 10pm till 4:am the next day.

Both these were addictive games but not my most all time addictive game.

My most addictive game is.........(virtual drum roll please)


TETRIS yep that 1989 classic on Game Boy. my little sister finaly gave back my Game boy today and i started playing it at 10am this morning then put it down after an hour or so.
Then later that afternoon i picked it up again then a few hours later put it down. picked it up, put it down, picked it up (you getting the idea now) and i just can't leave it alone.

I remember one holiday i went on and took the thing around everywhere, we went to beach's, museums, theme parks and what do i remember nothing but getting to the 100 line mark.

This game is as old as i can remember and i'm still playing it after all these years. Now that addictive!

anyway gotta go as i got a personal best 117 lines woo-hoo lets see if i can beat that before the sun rises.


Happy gaming people

Rollercoaster Tycoon and The Sims are too addictive to be healthy.

I agree, it has to be Tetris.
