With over 9 million registered players, Blizzard's (World of Warcraft) is the big daddy of addictive games. And these players don't just buy the massively multiplayer online role-playing game - they also pay a monthly fee so they can continually get their fix.
Why is (WoW) so popular? It could be the fantasy environment that allows players to be mythical characters with incredible powers. It could be the large-scale battles that let gamers group together and go on raids. It may be the game's social element that makes it easy for people to make new friends and connect with old ones.
No matter what (WoW) means to its legions of fans, there's no denying that this game can make sitting alone at your desk feel like one huge party.
And while I agree that World of Warcraft and EverQuest should be on the list, I really don't think that Doom has the same level of addictiveness. How can you compare games that can easily absorb years of your life to a 14-year-old game that only kept most gamers occupied for a few weeks after its release?
