    There was "this" 3D MMORPG that kept me hooked for 2.5 years... Luckily the devs nerfed the game completely and so I lost interest in it... I also spent/wasted more than 200$. It was a real addiction. And the saddest part is that I never even hit the level cap...
    I'd rather not name it.

    I also played Eliminate pro (best online FPS) for a year, but unfortunately the player base suddenly disappeared.


    Other non-mmo games were Heroes & Castles (multiplayer 1v1, specifically), Organ Trail and COD WaW Zombies.

    Beat Mikey Shorts which is definitely a favorite of mine and worms 2. Did you like gangstar Vegas? It's been pretty tempting to purchase

    Mikey hooks and worms 3 are coming tomorrow.
    I liked gangstar Vegas but I wouldn't recommend it because it has no replayability, once you finish the story you just get boring side missions . However it is on sale for $4.99 so it may be worth it.

    Eh it's just... One of the greatest games ever!? You'll be surprised by the depth of this game. It may seem very hard to beat it but I'm sure you can figure it out. Organ trail is also the game with most replay-ability in my opinion... And the developers also added a mini-game called "Clement's Quest", an endless mode and the suicide difficulty, which added a lot to the replay-ability.

    Also, if you'll need any help beating the game, you're welcome to PM me. I doubt there are many on this forum who can say that they beat the game on "suicide" difficulty :rolleyes:

    Just a warning before buying the game:
    - the game is hard and sometimes very, very frustrating but because of that, also very rewarding
    - some people (noob dual stick lovers) have a problem with the controls when scavenging.

    Pretty much anything by Foursaken Media is addictive and have a ton of depth.

    Bug Heroes (this one's free)
    Heroes and Castles
    Block Fortress

    Try those three.

    Heroes and Castles is a permanent on my iPhone but I couldn't really get into Block Fortress maybe when I get an iPad the bigger screen will convince me. Never heard of big heroes but ill def check it out.

    Bug Heroes is great. It's a dual stick mixed with tower defense elements and tons of upgrades
