      I would add the Thief series of games, and maybe ever the Heroes games!

      I sunk so many hours into the RPGs on this list! For some strange reason I can't explain, I am addicted to Tetris! I have played almost every version on every gaming platform ever made. Probably the game I have "rebought" the most.

      I think this list has "addictive" and "iconic" video games mixed up.

      You left out all the old ones, which were quite as (or more) addictive than these new, so much more complicated games of recent years. Three of the most addictive games of all time, all of which should have ranked very high on your list but were left completely off, were "Adventure" for the Atari 2600 (by the noted designer Warren Robinette, who left the first "Easter Egg"), "The Legend of Zelda" for the Nintendo NES, and perhaps the most addictive video game of all time, "Ms. Pac Man."
