Question for PCF June

[Drakonis]

Greeting everyone. This month's question is:

What games have got you hooked?

[RuadRauFlessa]

Counter Strike Source - Hey is there AA meetings for gamers. Hi all my name is RRF and I am an addicted gamer. I haven't played a game for about 1 hour. Come on next door I have a lan room all set up for us

[hamin_aus]

Sweet! Internet access!!!!!

[RuadRauFlessa]

Fallout 3 is a really addictive game, the level design and character development are brilliant.

[RuadRauFlessa]

Fallout 3 is a really addictive game, the level design and character development are brilliant.

Nah only kept me busy for about 3 days then I got bored with it. Same with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Coming to thing about it the game that has me really hooked is actually Generals Zero Hour. Not talking about how brilliant the gfx is or how balanced everything is It is just one of those games that I can play if I get bored of everything else. Then suddenly I am not bored any more

[UrBaN]

RuadRauFlessa, Your opinion is irrelevant because of where you stay.

[hamin_aus]

It is just one of those games that I can play if I get bored of everything else. Then suddenly I am not bored any more

I have two games like that:

Starcraft and Homeworld

When all else fails, fire one of those up and pass a few hours

At least I don't play Left 4 Dead the real game by staying in JHB

[RuadRauFlessa]

I have two games like that:

Starcraft and Homeworld

When all else fails, fire on of those up and pass a few hours

Yip those two also works although Homeworld is a tad tedious for me.

Oblivion still has me hooked. I am loving doing all the things I am not allowed to do in real life - like slaughtering a whole house full of strangers. Dead Space has me stumped and I still enjoy Dark Messiah, Warcraft III, Dawn of War (both). Always come back and replay KOTOR 1 and 2.

On the lighter side - Chuzzles and Peggle, Burnout Paradise and MotorStorm.

[RuadRauFlessa]

We are talking about addictions here not what you can play at the same time. KOTOR1 & 2 had me hooked for about a year then I got a life. Oblivion is cool and yes being able to go into a house and clean it out is cool but that alone does not get you hooked. In your case simple minded things might create hooks as you are good at fabricating hooks

[D3PART3D]

Quake III, CS:S, FEAR Deathmatch.

[RuadRauFlessa]

Now there are a couple of addictive games. Quake III Arena FTW!!!!!

[Prime]

Oblivion, CnC Tiberium sun and Firestorm, Kotor 1 and Kotor 2, Crysis, Hitman Bloodmoney, Age of empires 1 and expansion, Age of Empires 2 and expansion.

I have only completed 3 PC games: Kotor1, Kotor2 and Crysis, of all the games i've played, borrowed or bought over the years. Maybe its the freeform nature of those games

We weren't talking about my ability to multitask I agree - I am more prone to addictions than some, but Oblivion is addictive. I have been playing for about 116 hours (I think) and am only level 23. No telling how high I can go. I need to finish every mission, every task, everything. I have to search every cavern, ruin and house. That place is huge and I see myself playing it for the next few years - at least And as for me being simple minded

[rustypup]

meh... recent releases are full of fizzle...

diablo2 + median mod, witcher EE and NWN/2 have kept me entertained for far longer than FC2, FO3, L4D, etc, etc...

now, thanks to Anakha56, i'm back on BG2

@Tribble: i must admit that playing oblivion, for me, is much like taking a vacation it still tends to surprise every so often. my pivotal oblivion moment was an encounter with a golem - potting it from afar with arrows seemed a sure-fire solution when one of them picked up a rock the size of a moderately sized building and tossed it at me... squish!... since then i've started appreciating the AI a little more

[Anakha56]

lol rusty how about we lan it via Hamachi?

I am going back to the oldies because all the others leave me wanting more and as pup said Baldurs Gate 2 is what I am currently playing...

[RuadRauFlessa]

Yeah the oldies are the addictive ones. The new games are like in seriously lacking in that department. Hoping that Diablo III would correct that though.

[Ron2K]

World of Warcraft. 'Nuff said.

[lancelot]

Addictive games? You must be joking.

[Tribble]

lancelot, oh come on - there must be a game or two that you long to play after a long hard day. (And I do mean on the PC of course)

[Synthesis]

1. [url=htp://mybrute.com]My Brute[/url]

2. TrackManiaNaions Forever

3. Diablo 3 (even though it's not out for a while still, I'm hooked on the info and updates, not a day goes by without fishing for news.

4. FaceBook Texas Hold'em Poker

[TheModDoctor]

The game that has got me hooked the most is still Crysis. By far. Maybe because my rig can't quite run it at maximum, so I know there is still more I can appreciate.

[Bluez]

Still struggle to switch off the pc when I'm playing Spore and of course anything where you shoot the zombies/demons/whatever to pieces with a nice big RPG
