I was badly addicted to farmville for about 6 months Issy and once I get on this forum, I can't get off   Also got addicted to several playstation games a few years ago..It's terrible isn't it?

It is..... and yet curiously satisfying..

I can only get into the racing ones.  Can't get into the sport and first person shooter ones.

Oh racing games are brilliant Carnelian.
My problem is I don't really like big strategy games..

LOL! 

Pong. Who'd have thought knocking a ball about with a bat could be so much fun? Tetris: probably one of the most addictive games of all time, ditto Pacman. When it comes to games simple is always best.

Bejewelled 2,   It's not silly but actually it calms me down after a shit day at work. If I don't get me fix......

Prom - I love Pacman - and Ms Pacman as well. I could play those for hours. I refuse to get involved with a game that sounds like a nasty smell though



Aww Sproooot Bejeweled 1 and 2 - great games and very soothing as well

Have you played Bejewelled Twist too Issy?  

I hated Pacman, it used to scare me 
Loved Tetris though 

Also have completed all the Zelda games  

I love, love, love Tetris and on facebook games Combine and Word Drop.

LOL Slim  sproot issy and prom, I had forgotten about all those games you mentioned.  I had forgot about pong!  don't like racing games carnelian coz I am crap at them.

No I  haven't...

Is it fun?

It doesn't surprise me that Facebook games that some people regard as 'stupid' are so popular. I don't play them but my OH does and it's because they are simple that people like them. The games industry is quietly going back to its roots in places you'd last expect to see it happen. About time too.

True Prom and I agree

I can get lost in Bubbletown for an hour or two if I allow !

Yoville,I always seem to go back to it,I'm actually a Yo millionaire you know.

I think it is 

A few of my pals play yoville Lee... but I only ever played FV but don't now.  It was too addictive.  i actually work about 32 hours a week now and don't have as much time as when I worked only 16 hours...   so I don't play anything now really.  If you are more or less housebound though, then these games can provide a lot of fun and entertainment. 

Congratulations...
I think

I joined that when I first started on FB - Me, Mrs Jags & Pickles were strutting our stuff on the beach & chatting to strangers - one of em turned out to be a 14yr old boy 
I don't do it anymore!
But still get shed loads of requests!

Used to love 'Space invaders' - the sit down one in the Pub! 

I have times when I don't play for months Sparkles but always drift back...I do log on before my grandsons arrive in the mornings and an hour or so at nights,it's decorating the houses I love atm I'm re-doing my Irish room for St Patrick's day.

Awww, they are addictive and enjoyable Lee...   anyhow, gotta fly now as my bed beckons.  night night folks.

Issy players do events and sell things etc,I don't,I give the things away it is only a game but some do take it sooooo seriously there's often ructions at sales over a silly item.

Pickles is still there Slim,she's such a lovely lovely lady bless her....When I first joined I got a stalker,wait for this,21 yrs old who wanted cam s.e.x,I ran like the wind if you'd saw me you'd have thought he was actually in my living room here,I was afraid.

 I'll bet!
Pickles was the first of us to get a tree house!  - She is indeed a delight 

I drew the line at spending real money so fell behind in the keeping up with the Jonses 

i like the touchmaster games on nintendo ds, makhi,target 21, triples plus. all silly games

Goodnight Sparkles,sleep well xx

Time-management and Tycoon games are my favourite, some platform games are quite good.
I'm no great devotee of 'match-3' games unless it's as part of something bigger, but endless matching for matching's sake is not my thing. Hidden object games are even less attractive and shoot'em'ups are to be avoided. Puzzles and logic games are quite good too.

Having said that, not necessarily ALL games in the favoured genres are liked and not necessarily ALL games in the disfavoured genres are disliked, but it's hard to define what makes one game acceptable and the next not.

I used to love Luxor ... but then I got stuck on a level in Luxor 2 and couldn't get past it

I am totally addicted to the Football Manager games! Currently playing FM 2011and loving it 

Big Fish Games are great.......particularly the Hidden Object games.  My sons love playing them with me, I tell them what they have to find and they delight in finding them.  Great for days like today when the rain is so bad they can't get out and are bored playing together.

Shockwave games are my new addiction, I signed up for them for a tenner a month and was planning on cancelling after downloading a few games but I have played so many of them that I will just keep the subscription because my kids can play them and I also gave me neice my account password so she can play them at her house too......so the tenner is stretching out well

I love the hidden object games, sometimes find i`ve stared at the screen so long I get stuck in that position, not good... great games though

I love the room escape games you get online. I've played quite a few of the FB games too like Yoville, Mafia Wars etc etc but they seem to demand so much time.
My current addiction is Mahjong trails on FB, I can spend hours on it without even realising

I'm addicted to Bejewelled Twist at the moment, ten minutes turns into an hour because I can't stop!

Also used to be addicted to Animal Crossing on the DS. I'd spend ages running around town, picking flowers, posting letters, digging up fossils, fishing in the creek.

NOTHING beats Tribal Wars for giving away your life addictiveness - that or The Bus Stop

frogger,but I dont like it when the little fella gets squished
