How much?

I hate it when games keep track of how long you've been playing. Take Burnout Paradise for example. I've been playing that on my PS3 for over 55 hours and counting. That's approaching $1/hr for high-quality crashing entertainment.

It's a fun game too, you should play it if you have the opportunity. At first, I was really miffed that it doesn't offer two-player split-screen, but seeing as how I don't have anybody anyway, it is a moot point at this juncture.

But if you would rather not go all out for a top-end game, why not give Desktop Tower Defense 1.5 a try? That game got me hooked for about two weeks, which is impressive for a free flash game. Creating paths for pencil-drawn enemies to get destroyed in has never been more fun.

I think Frozen Bubble is really addictive. I've been playing it on my new laptop, and it is a lot of fun. I never knew what good games Linux had compared to Windows. Paul has been holding out on me! In his campaign to make me use Ubuntu, he never mentioned games, and those are a computer thing I can actually understand.

It's amazing how the simplest games can cause the most addiction.
