Can't stop playing!

[Mistral]

I downloaded Crystal Defenders on XBLA. The demo was fun and few are so I thought, "What the heck?"

Can't stop playing. Have about 20+ hours in and just can't stop playing. Told an online friend and now he can't stop playing. It's deceptively primitive looking, but the game play is far more subtle than it appears. All you have to do is keep the monsters from marching to the end of the map. Right-all.
I've actually lost sleep because I wanted to play "one more round" three or (six) times trying to beat a level.

Anybody else discover this hidden gem?

Haven't played that game but when I first get a new game that I have been waiting to be released for a while, I play the shit out of it the first day.

GTA4, SF4, Ghostbusters, RE5, all of these games, I hit 13+ hours the first day. I didn't even eat, I just drank, haha.

I haen't played this one, usually its the RPG games that suck me in for those marathon sessions in which I neglect my family. I recently downloaded the Xbox Original Jade Empire from XBLA (which I had somehow missed when it was first release years ago) and was up until about 5 a.m. one night with it.

Ugh, lawn zombies. Worse than kids.

*Plongs a soup pot on his head* Wargarble?


Of course thats when I'm NOT running across the countryside with Louis, Zoey, and the gang.

Ah yes, "The Tetris Effect". Still going strong after all these years.

 

[Mistral]

and for those in the know, may I present a little video analyzing defects in a certain game?

[Cutter John]

Heh. I love that video. Even use a frame as my spray.

There's also the "Tetrisitis" syndrome wherein a person is compelled to make sure everything is orderly and fits together in an interlocked whole shape.

I have recently experienced this affliction with Professor Layton and the Curious Village. The goals given do not take too long to achieve, and the story is very involving.

I'm a little addicted to Star Ocean Second Evolution. I'm on my fourth playthrough and still can't get enough.

Havent played that game yet, but right now I'm addicted to Devil Survivor for the DS. Its like Persona, but portable and in Strategy RPG form
