The majority of video games out there today are far from great – that’s why we get so excited whenever we find one that’s truly enjoyable.

But sometimes a game can be so much fun that we might start ignoring other things – important things like work, school and relationships. Though we’d like to think of this as a healthy love of games, some people might say we have an addiction. If that’s the case, then these are the games we’re most addicted to.

Here's the list they give:

1) World of Warcraft
2) Everquest
3) Peggle
4) Doom
5) Tetris

I use to be addicted to Age of Empires I & II and Half Life variants such as TPF and Days of Defeat. Nowadays I might touch my home computer for maybe 15-30 minutes a day if that, to check email and a few websites.

I used to be addicted to Freecell. Once I won 42 games in a row. When I finally couldn’t solve a game and broke my streak, I was mad for the rest of the day. That’s about the extent of my computer gaming. I have absolutely no idea how those other computer games work.

I remember when "Berzerk" came out in the arcades. Played it so long my joints hurt when done. Couldn't sleep at night. I kept hearing the robot voice, "Intruder Alert, Intruder Alert. Catch the Humanoid!!".

Just had to go coldturkey to get over it.

Sudoku. I have it on my computer, my PDA, a book by the bed, a book by my chair and a book in my purse.

My husband and I had a major addiction to Everquest. We finally got up the nerve to sell our accounts, and we never looked back. But for a year or two, it caused some major issues for us.

Here's one that I wouldn't say "add to the list" until you try it...but do try it. It is sooo addicting. You simply must keep playing it until you master it. And it's free!

Swarmers
