It's a word everywhere, but there's no reason to use it as an adjective.

RANDOM INTERNET SITE OMG.

Now, there are definitely people who argue that addicting isn't a word. They say that addict is a noun, not a verb. However, I did the simple thing: I looked it up, and two out of four dictionaries included addicting—and for those of you who care, one listed it as a transitive verb (1) and the other listed it as a participle adjective (2). A transitive verb is a verb that requires a direct object. An example could be Amy was addicting Steve to Scrabble®. Steve is the direct object of the verb addicting—he's the receiver of the action.

Addicting is the participle adjective of the verb to addict, just as annoying is the participle adjective of the verb to annoy. I don't think anyone would say that you can't describe someone as annoying, and similarly it is OK to describe TV as addicting.

Somebody link that Square-Enix puzzlegame that's on DS too. Can't remember what it's called, but I love to play it again!

Would make sense. But then again, the English language never makes sense.

Big, bigger, and biggest are words.

Why do we only have fun and funnest? Why isn't funner a word?

Funnest isn't a word. Fun, more fun, most fun. I don't know what makes fun different from big in that regard, but it just is.

This site is correct. 'Addicting' is a verb, 'addictive' is an adjective. Therefore a game can only be addictive, unless it's currently in the process of making you addicted, which is when it's addicting you. Both are real words but most of the time when you see 'addicting' it's used incorrectly.

And I'm speaking this as a genuine professional member of the grammar police.

I can't find the black and white platformer. The one where you have to jump over obstacles or die.

Because that only describes every platformer ever.

Boy, am I fighting the urge to say some very nasty things about that game and its author...

Hey man, it's totally possible that he came up with that concept independently of your site. No need to spread hate, especially about an awesome game. :(
 
You bumped a 2 year old thread for Angry Birds?

There is not a sigh big enough to fill my lungs at this moment of time. That and we all know Crush the Castle will always be superior.
 
Zombie thread but more people should play...

TRANSFORMICE

http://en.transformice.com/

25+ player multiplayer platforming with tons of levels, good controls that reward skill, a level editor (your levels will get played and rated by other players), an actual community, and devs that keeps the game fresh with new stuff.
 
Not a game, but does anyone know this really cool art program you can use through your browser? It was a weird painting program and everything looked like a light waves and stuff. People used it on this site to paint pokemon and other things, it was really cool.

So is addicting a word? Because I see it aaaaall the time, and I'm starting to think it might be.

this, I see it in actual NEWS articles as well. I just put it into a scrabble dictionary and it was FOUND.

scrabble has gone to the dogs. I don't give a shit if it's a word, the phrase 'Man this x here is so addicting' shall never pass my lips.

indeed. EVERYBODY uses addicting in place of addictive. addicting is almost never appropriate, most of the time someone's already addicted.
