Which games keep you playing into the night?

Darn Pokemon! I’ve got homework to do, you know! I own more than enough entries in the Pokemon series for me and my three younger siblings to each have our own to play…at the same time. Add to that the ability to trade Pokemon almost freely, and this becomes one of the most addicting series […]

Darn Pokemon! I’ve got homework to do, you know! I own more than enough entries in the Pokemon series for me and my three younger siblings to each have our own to play…at the same time. Add to that the ability to trade Pokemon almost freely, and this becomes one of the most addicting series of all time.

So we want to know: which games do you find hard to tear your eyes away from?

  1. Most recently…death rally on ipad/iphone, just couldn't put it down…so adictive, so awesom,,

  2. Any great RPG. During the six months I played World of Warcraft, I was setting my alarm for 4 A.M. to get a couple of hours of play in before work–Ah, memories of hunting crocolisks at dawn with my pet bear, Avalanche!

    And I had to stop playing Rollercoaster Tycoon because I was spending so much time with it!

  3. Agreed with Skotski…

    In fact, lately I've been falling asleep into the early morning while playing Etrian Odyssey III: the Drowned City!

  4. Honestly? Everyone here should be saying one word: "MINECRAFT"

    Also, how has no one mentioned Melee? Oh boy, don't even get me started on that one. Great game.

  5. Once I played Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door for 1 whole day to get past a huge part. It wavers, though…… (15 minutes before I get bored sometimes)

  6. Advance Wars – I can seriously sit down and lose track of time for hours tackling just one massive map…

  7. Minish Cap on the Micro lately. Gotta love the crisp screen on the Game Boy Micro.

  8. Mostly pokemon and DQ games keep me up until all hours of the night. I love a good old school turn based JRPG. A dying breed.

  9. Currently, F-Zero GX keeps me up. Just…one…more…race….

    But the real block of time was Tales of Symphonia. When I first got Tales, it was back one summer and I did nothing but play that game for a whole week straight. Wake up, go to the bathroom, eat breakfast, put in Tales, lunch, Tales, go to the bathroom, Tales, dinner, Tales, bathroom, fall asleep. One week, that was it. Great game.

    RAMEEEEESH

  10. Currently I am addicted to Okami. It's a relaxing way to end the day and puts me in a zen-like state.
