What game that you've played do you think is the worst time-eater. Ex. you think you've been playing for a couple hours and then the whole day is gone. For me it's definitely Civ 4.

During the LBP beta it felt like that game could eat time alot sometimes, I would usually spend about 20 minutes on it playing a few user levels then play BFBC or something. But on some occasions I would spend hours on end playing user levels.

Not really sure if that will be the case with the full game, it's going to be my 'play when you don't feel like or have anything else to play' game.

CnC3 back when I used to play, Oblivion/TES series as a whole, any MMO although I don't play them, pretty much any game with a slower gameplay and lots of replay value.

I've just been playing Saints Row 2 for 5 hours straight...I feel like I've lost a day. Not that that's a bad thing.

I'd have to say FFXI. There were times were I'd play the game from the minute I woke up to just before I went to bed. Great game, though.

Besides WoW or other MMO's, probably Morrowind, i easily spent about 400 - 500 hours in that game, probably more :shock:.

It's locked up on me twice. Shame, because it's a great game otherwise.

I thought it was my 360 acting up so I just turned everything off after it froze.

No, it's the game sadly. Most reviews have mentioned it locking up.

RTS games are the best for this, well if they don't have timers you wouldn't know.

Rise of Nations I guess.

That's a shame. I'm playing the PS3 version, and no problems here so far, but like Ninja-Hippo said, it's probably the game.

I'm actually surprised at how good the game is. I'm a fan of the original, but it feels like I've had more fun in those 5 hours with this one than I had with the entire first game. I can't put the game down!

It's the first time a game's done that to me since MGS4.

I think the game is fun, but it could have been much better if they pushed it back a month and polished it.

Most RTS games when playing against someone online or jrpg games.

I would tell myself I would only play for a short time, but I end playing over an hour when I play these games.

Halo3

Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne(For some reason I am really stubborn about losing in this game when it comes to ladder rank games)

Um....not CIV 4, that's for sure.

With that game, I play an 8 hour marathon and then I'm done for the year. Addictive? Hell yeah, until you beat a game. It's like Risk. I don't exactly crave it all the time.

So I've gotta say WoW or Everquest for sheer vaccuumage.

X3: Reunion. No contest here. Not that I play it at the moment, but I can't think of any relatively recent game that would be as time consuming as X3. Lems and cows don't know what they miss. Not that I'm hermit, I'd love to have future X games on my Xbox 360 (but then again without dumbing it down it would not be possible I guess).

Multiple characters or only one? I did about everything in about 100 hours with my main so I guess this goes up there too.

Probably Pokemon Puzzle League for the N64. I remember playing that game with my friends like crazy back in the day and each match lasted at least 30 min. What a great game. Also War Craft 3 custom game map a.k.a Dota. Most addicting and time consuming game ever...

Starcraft, Warcraft III, Diablo II, Baldur's Gate I/II. Funny how all of mine are PC games. I can get sucked into some console RPGs but I don't play them as much after I beat them.
