Addictive Games That Are Here To Stay

There are many games available online these days, but few make it to the mantle of being truly addictive. The sensation of raw adrenaline rushing through your body when you are just about to make it to the next level is the hallmark of a prototype of an addictive game. Addictive games are the reason why dinner goes cold, girlfriends leave and kids get bad grades at school. It is always the thrill of that one more game, one last turn and one final play, which keeps the adrenaline rushing. Though you may end up at your shrink’s place for saying this, but most gamers play for this rush of excitement; the gut gripping, hair splitting sensation that comes when you are playing a game which has you glued to your controls all night. That is what addiction is and that is also what addictive games do to hardcore gamers. According to most gaming fanatics, the virtual world is the only addiction worth having; all else is pure noise.

One of the most addictive games known to the gaming world is the Half-Life 2. It is a science-fiction that outdoes the legacy of the first game. It has effectual storytelling, fearsome enemy smarts, and a huge variety of true-to- life environments. Another feature which makes the game an all time favorite is the innumerable downloadable modifications that the makers have come up with. This game is any gamers’ trip, starting with the firing of the first shot.

Another undisputed addictive game is the Neverwinter Nights. The myriad of features and upgrades which have been fitted into this game, since its conception, makes it BioWare's most addictive game, ever. In this game there is always new equipment to win and novel challenges to beat all along the way. Not only that, the game also has myriads of highly-rated adventures, which can be downloaded for free. This game is a bottomless abyss of excitement for all gamers.

The last and a personal favorite is the Grand theft Auto, San Andreas. This game takes the booty when it comes to addictive games. The thrill of taking territory from hostile gangs in Los Santos, hitting the casino tables of Las Venturas, gives you a high like no other. Even after you are done playing every mission and you think you have seen the story to its conclusion, there is still more to do. There are Hummers to steal, cars, trucks, motorcycles, airplanes, and helicopters to run for a theft. You even get to command your own tank! Now if that is not pure adrenaline through your veins, then what is?
