I'm an arcade shmup addict. I absolutely admit it: they're the easiest games to get addicted to, really. You can blow through most of them in half an hour or so, but for the best ones, you'll just come back to them, trying to boost your score each time, or go through it on less credits, or trying a different ship.
Out of all of them, though, Armed Police Batrider is the worst offender. There's 18 different planes to choose from (72, counting the variations of each one), each with its own playstyle and weapons, you can use 3-4 different ones per credit, there's a stage select, and multiple modes of play (including a hidden 2-stage "quickie" mode). But worst of all, it's a great game, maybe the best shmup of all time, so you just have to come back to it.
But Madden '08 for the Wii is my gaming drug of choice right now, even though all I'm doing is the Superstar mode, which has somehow sucked me in. Call it an exercise in building (a) character.
We are loved even though we suck.

Mark the perfect man, and see the upright, for there is a future for the man of peace.
