What's your top #1 life-sucking video game of all time?
Okay, top 3 then.

Mine would HAVE to be Age of Empires II on PC.
I must have played that thing at least 300 hours.

Followed up by Halo on XBox.

And then the original Roller Coaster Tycoon series on PC.

Golden Eye on N64 had a good run too. :)

NOTE:
After 4 years in the making, Elder Scrolls Oblivion comes out next week.
It will be so freaking awesome.
I cannot wait.

That game probably caused 6 of my frat brothers to flunk out of OU. It's the debil I say, the debil.

[Pieces Hit]

1. Everquest
2. World of Warcraft
3. Guild Wars (although I still play that one on occasion)My wife is a Guild Wars nut and GW Factions comes out this month.

[1stTimeCaller]

I agree with Age of Empire II with the Conquorers expansion pack.

[OU Adonis]

If I could find a hot single gal that was into video games I would be in heaven.

[Veritas]

My wife is a Guild Wars nut and GW Factions comes out this month.
You are a lucky guy in that regard.

I think my wife would like GW or similar but she doesn't want to like them so... *shrugs*

[Pieces Hit]

She has made friends with folks from around the world and so far hasn't ran off with anybody.
The graphics are good but other than the chatting it looks kinda repetitive to me.
She says it isn't.

[SoonerWood]

All-time:
Tribes 1 & 2
Civ 2
Total Annihilation
Shadowbane

lately:
Battlefield 2 (RMFO)

[OU Adonis]

I had a gf who would get all jealous of the time I spent on the computer so she would get into something hawt and then come try to distract me.

It was a GREAT way to get her in the mood.. heh

[Pieces Hit]

Battlefield 2 (RMFO)I love this game but don't have high-speed so have to play it solo. :(

I hate that. Leave me alone and go use a vibrator or something.

The only real problem with Guild Wars is that after awhile your characters are about as high as they can go. You can't advance them any further beyond having Guild fights. Those are fun, but I'm living in a small house currently (saving for a big one), and our computer is in the bedroom. Trying to use online microphones to work out strategy late at night doesn't work when your wife is trying to sleep.

[mrowl]

1. Master of Orion II (caused me to pull a 2.1 my first sem.) :D
2. Civ III

[Pieces Hit]

My woman was too embarrassed to use the voice chat thing because of her hilbillie accent.

[mdklatt]

1. MS Flight Simulator (PC)
2. Grand Theft Auto (Xbox)
3. The Sims (PC)

Moo2 was awesome. I almost forgot about that game. moo3 blows chunks

Can't she sleep out in the living room? Thats what they make sleeping bags for. :D

The fun part of GW after the character is maxed, is creating synergistic groups. If you can group with the same people all the time, it's fun to build well coordinated teams that multiply each other's strengths.

Yeah, MoO2 was great...

I'm looking forward to SPORE.

[Pieces Hit]

3. The Sims (PC)So on the Sims 2 I installed the naked patch. :)

I was VERY dissapointed in MOO3. MOO2 still rocks.

I thought the first one was the best. The second was ok, but third was completely unplayable.

[Pieces Hit]

Age of Empires > Starcraft by a country mile. :)

[OU Adonis]

Age of Empires > Starcraft by a country mile. :)

You really are dead to me now.

[Pieces Hit]

Played both and AOE was much deeper.
So says the dead man.

Tecmo Super Bowl for the NES and its successors on the SNES had an adverse effect on my grades when I first entered college. So did Street Fighter II.

Hi, my name is SoonerBorn, and I'm a City-of-Heroes-aholic. (recovering - been clean for almost 3 weeks now)

The "Time Vampire" also struck in the past in the form of the various titles for Diablo, Myst, and Zork.

[Salt City Sooner]

No particular order:

Goldeneye
NCAA Football (all except '05, that edition was HORRIBLE)
NCAA Basketball on the SNES (I ran up some Tubbs-like scores on that puppy, hit 201 once)
