Alrighty, then! So we're gamers... what kind/type/platform of game are you addicted to? Let's get the mouse-ball rolling here!
Me, I'm addicted to anything from Sid Meyer. BIG TIME Civ-fanatic. Eliminations are my specialty. No, I don't play well with others. heh! heh!
I'm also fond of anything strategy or "city-building"... don't know why, but from "Pharaoh" to "Age of Empires" to Civilization I,II,III,IV - you name it I'm hooked.
Don't care about RPG's, and first-person shooters bore me spitless. But for some reason I refuse to get rid of my old Dune 2000 and StarCraft. Eh, go figure...

I'm not big on RTS's. I'm currently addicted to Halo 3 and Bioshock. I've been into Half-life and HL2, soon will be checking out Team Fortress 2 and Portal. I also get addicted to the RPG genre. I've been caught playing Nevewinter Nights (all expansions) and NWN 2, Oblivion, Titan's Quest, Evercrack I and II, WOW had me for a spell also, and I've also even delved into Saint's Row. I will usually try anything once. And I am heavy into beta testing.

My tag is Kmartkm (original eh?)

My first video game live would have to be Marble Madness on Nintendo? Did anyone else like this game?

As for my all time favorite games they would be in this order:

1. Mario 64

2. Half-Life

3. Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo

4. Mortal Kombat 2

5. Mario Kart

Nintendo all the way...I've owned them all from the original NES to Super NES, Nintendo64, and Gamecube; no Wii yet. Had some gameboys (okay, so the kids had the gameboys but they were pretty good about sharing). I am dying for a DS Lite, coral pink, of course, and the new Zelda. My faves are Zelda, Super Mario, and Donkey Kong. I like the RPGs as long as they are not terribly violent, bloody and gory. I also like puzzle games like Tetris. I would love to try out the new Brain Age games. I don't consider myself a hardcore gamer; it's just something fun to do when I have time.

Question? Do you play your favorite games over and over or do you trade them in for the latest, greatest game once you've "beaten" it?

I like to play the games over and over. See in Mario and Donkey Kong, there are little surprises hidden everywhere and I like to go through and find all of them. My son is the exact opposite. He gets a game and plays it until he "beats" it and then he's done with it. He'll trade it in for credit towards another game. He has maybe four to six games at any one time. But I have to say for a 13 year old, he is pretty good about getting store credit and earning cash to buy his games. I certainly wouldn't have been able to buy him all the games he has had over the years.

I am a PS/PS2/PS3 gamer. Love fighters, shooters and racers. My buddies and I still have Tekken parties. The downside is the abysmal release of games since the PS3 came out. Plus, I haven't gotten online with anything yet. Hopefully Gran Turismo will change that. I am a skeptic and won't accept crappy games on the PS3 that just look like refurbished PS2 stuff....

I'm the nerd who owns every console.  Hell, I even bought 4 xboxs so that my poor 15 friends could all play Halo together.  Plus, I'm a LAN whore.  Even been to MLG Dallas a couple of times and QuakeCon 3 times.  So obviously I'm addicted to FPS or shooters in general.  I've played in a lot of clan battles so that I don't get bored with them.  I do play other genres though.  I'm mad addicted to RTSs of any sort.   The one I'm playing right now is Sins of a Solar Empire.  Their races aren't exactly even but its just so fun to have multiple units.  Supreme Commander was great about that too.  Kinda annoying when you're in a match and ur deadlocked because you and the opponent both throw 15 nukes at each other to no avail.
