I admit it, I'm a WoW addict :P. But wth, does this maker just take the only games he knows and put it in a list?!?! How the hell is Pacman addictive!??!?!

Everquest should be #1 it brought online addiction to a whole new level and redefined what a Time Sink truly was , you would easily spend much more time playing than bothering with your lame real life....either you got a life or you were doomed to play forever lol

hahaha and by reading a bunch of the other comments i'm pretty sure you guys need to try a different drug and make a new list without drawing the games from a hat and making that your order, make a new list, then inhale some amonia just for the fun of it! pleaseeee do it for me

I'll actually agree with most of them for all time, but I do agree they're in ther wrong order, I think Final Fantasy should have been on there, but atleast they but WoW on #1 heh.

yeah seriously dudes were on shrooms when they made this list, the only game that makes sense in the top 10 was WoW. seriously nobody plays the garbage games they listed anymore, i think i've gotten more into superman 64 (a disgrace to video games everywhere) then any of the top 10 games, buy a 360, throw the atari away and dish out a little bit of doe instead of being a cheapass and give a good list to the people.
