Title: Addictive videogames
Post by: Rman on November 26, 2007, 11:40:48 AM: I thought of this thread while posting in the Rock Band thread, which I'm currently addicted to.

Think back and try to recall your most addictive video game experiences. These are games that you just couldn't wait to play after work or at the start of a weekend.

Here are some of mine:
Bubble Bobble 2 player coop
SMB3
Tetris
FFVI
Panel de Pon
Chrono Trigger
FFVII
Ape Escape
Zelda:OOT
FFX
Elite Beat Agents
Ouendan 2
Oblivion

Post by: T234 on November 26, 2007, 01:01:30 PM: PSO came later for me. MAD HAX is what destroyed my obsession with it. Getting PK'ed 33 times in a row will do that to you.

Post by: MrAngryFace on November 26, 2007, 01:03:08 PM: Well i was in college during PSO but it was ALL CONSUMING. After 3-4 years of text based muds it was kinda neat to play ;)

any NIS SRPG not titled soul nomad

Is Soul Nomad that bad? I heard people complain because it's apparently not the typical cutesy thing NIS is known for, but I don't see how that's a bad thing.
