          Not truly ranked, just the order I thought of it.

          1. Halo - multiplayer goodness
          2. Final Fantasy X - The first RPG I was ever really that into and finished. Ended up playing it through three times.
          3. Madden
          4. Street Figher II - I was addicted to this game.

          Last but not least...

          5. Mass Effect - The dialogue system and voice acting sets a new standard in video games. It's so immersive and it actually lets you feel like what the characters are saying is worth the time to actually listen to.

                  Pitfall on Atari was a very addicting game. Of course Pac Man and Mario Bros. games were huge but for sports I think Tecmo Bowl was a game that trumps all. People still have fond memories and even play it on PCs.

                      Couldn't you argue Everquest did it first, WoW just perfected it?

                          Is it as addicting as everybody says. I loved diablo 2, but I havent fired up my comp. in a while and was thinking about WoW. If this throws the Thread off-topic I will just make another one and be sry for the inconvenience.
