I was wondering to myself a few minutes ago what is the most played videogame of all time. It is an up hill struggle considering most machines haven't been online till about 98.
That link seems to fight its case. And how you would measure it would vary in terms of throwing your weight around but any other stats or thoughts?

i'm thinking games which take quite long to play like football games probably clock up serious amounts of overall combined, cumulative game time. Fifa/EA probably could shout that more mins have been played of that than say Halo3.

I suppose those games like Starcraft that are played professionally in places like Korea must be clocking up serious hours. Isn't Quake III Arena still being played?
Halo 3. Online for hours for god knows how many months/years, and all the time spent on the campaign. I doubt anything else I've played comes close aside from other Halo's.
Quake 3 is free and browser based now. Got quite the hardcore following.
I have clocked 532 hours on Team Fortress 2. And I was playing it long before Steam actually started to record hours spent on games. I was playing it from the beta the week before Orange Box came out so it has to be at least 1500 hours i'd have thought.
I always find it frustrating when people compare paid for and free to play games. Would League of Legends have reached 32 million players a month if it had the subscription World of Warcraft does? Somehow I doubt it.
That isn't to say that all free to play games will generate that player base, just that it's almost impossible for a game that you have to pay for either initially or every month to reach that.
I remember logging into my 4 different PSN accounts (because Demon's only allows 4 saves), and before the EU version dropped it totalled way over a 1000 hours. I have 260 on my very first character/Platinum. Bear in mind the majority is being summoned to help other players, and hosting PvP in 4-1 in the wee hours of Sunday morning and watching all the Japanese players go mental. Great times (also, unemployed, lol).
Not one for ploughing hours in after the end-game.
I guess Mass Effect took a lot of hours, I did the Trilogy and all DLC except for the later stuff in ME3.
Skyrim was 150 hours.
Fallout 3 I completed twice so must be around 180 hours.
In terms of gameplay provided and hours played. I had a Bomberman knock off on the Amiga, one arena, only about 5 power ups, up to 5 players. Me and a few mates bundled around the Amiga using various mouses, keyboard parts and joysticks. Must have spent over a hundred hours on that.
Halo 3, Dark Souls and CoD4. All well over a thousand hours for me. Maybe even double that on Halo 3. Also, Mario Kart on the SNES back in the day. Endless multiplayer sessions, shit and SF2 Turbo!
It doesn't depress me although it does make me wonder where on earth I found the time to put in to Halo and CoD inparticular. I worked full time as I do now but it was nights and I was single. Do Bungie still have Bungie.net going with all the service records from Halo 3? I'm intrigued to see what I put in...

Personally I doubt I have played anything more than Tetris - back in the 80's I played an awful lot of Asteroids mainly on the old 2600 - my brother and I played that game every day for well over a year.
Dark Souls, FM and Counter-Strike. I used to play CS for a minimum of 4 hours every night to stay competitive, this was after I was completely addicted and went on 24 hour marathons.
