Oblivion and the Resident Evil series (especially the first 3.)

I would have to say WWF No Mercy, I played for hours everyday for about 3 years after i bought it, and over the last 10 years, I have gone back to it at times and rebrand the entire roster and play over and over again. Even the other night, I just put it in to play a quick match thinking I wouldn't get into it, and I sat there for about 3 hours playing tournaments.

Smackdown vs Raw 2011 is a recent game that I played the universe mode every day/night for almost the whole year, until the next game was close to getting released. GTA 3 I think I played even more than Smackdown Just Bring It, which says a lot for me. Also San Andreas must be high up there.

That's on one save file, now in 2041, possibly the most epic Football manager game I've ever played (and still going).

Most of the time i've put into games have been PC strategy titles over the years; Civ 2 right up to 5, Alpha Centauri, Galactic Civilisations, Birth of the Federation, Transport Tycoon, Europa Universalis 3, all easily are up around the 200 hour mark (I'd hate to think how much i've played Civ over the years).

Console and non strategy wise: Call of Duty Black ops (pretty much an hour a night every night for 2 years), Unreal Tournament, Quake 3 Arena, Star Trek Elite Force, Call of Duty United Offensive all have large online game times. Elder Scrolls games (Skyrim and Oblivion) would be approaching the 200 hour mark, as would Fallout 3.

Probably Rock Band 3 or Gran Turismo 4.....

.....although I'm 13 hours into Oblivion and I can see that taking the record.

[Rayne]

In order of most time consuming...

Pokemon Red (and pretty much every other 'main' Pokemon GB game)
TES: Oblivion (and to a lesser extent, Skyrim)
Jet Set Radio Future (JET SET RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADIO!)
Halo Reach (Halo CE, Halo 3...)
Dead or Alive 2
Grandia
FF: X

[Black Ridge]

Super Street Fighter IV, 468 Hours Played, XBOX Live Progress : 5086 fights online

Bro found my PS2 memory card the other day with something like

FF X: 120hours
DQ VIII: 80hours

and a hell of a lotta time on Star Ocean, FFXII and some other bits

[Sokurah]

Back then: Doom I&II, C&C and Syndicate. And a lot of that in multiplayer mode.

In newer times: Burnout Paradise (about 130 hours).

These days I will look at reviews for how long it takes to complete a new game, and if it's more than 10 hours it has to be really enticing before even considering it. Too bad, but it's just getting harder and harder to find the time needed to play lenghty games...especially when there's so many other things I want, too.

[NorthWay]

I'm not gonna tell you my tally from WoW. Not sure you would have believed it anyway...

[Hitman_HalStep]

it would either be:
ultima IV (sms)
fallout 3 + all dlc
oblivion GOTY
i really don't know which one it is though but i enjoyed the whole thing,except all the fallout 3 crashes and having to restart a huge amount of one of the dlc's because of a glitch.

The Championship/Football Manager games (SI Games)

First started playing on the Amiga back in 93, currently playing FM2013 on the PC, that's a 20 year addiction, and addiction is exactly what it is!!!

The digital version of crack, it's no surprise it has been cited in divorce cases. Most of the people I know who play, including a few from here, usually end up removing the game from their PC as it's the only way to stop playing!

A brilliant but dangerous game.
