Hey, SamPage here. I want to tell you a short and sad tale, which is hardcore gaming related.

When I was 13 years old, Final Fantasy 7 was released on the Playstation and me and my friends were all hooked. As soon as I was home from school we were sat on the console, waving swords and using magic to will our way through the world that was Final Fantasy. 45 hours later the game was completed. (I've since then completed it in 12hours). Now there are a string of hardcore RPG/Action adventure related games which have been released on the Final Fantasy series and in many other series including Zelda, Oblivion, Dragon Quest and Pokemon.

What we wanted to know is what's the longest amount of time YOU have played a game for? I once played for 24 hours solid for charity which was quite exhausting but kind of awesome. Also what do you guys think it is that keeps you playing the game in question? Answers on a postcard...

    Me and my friends played on Burnout Paradise, PS3 all summer, and I clocked up over 150 hours of online play, even cramming in a little time at lunch time from work.

    Massive fan of the Final Fantasy Series - played over 100 hours on Final Fantasy VII and X - the only way to play those games is to max them out all sidequests, all weapons, Golden Chocobo (FF7 fans). Now if we are talking about online games, it has to be either Final Fantasy XI:Online, World of Warcraft or Counterstrike. As i got older i've had to stop playing those kind of games lol - haven't got enough time :(
