2009 has been a bumper year in the amount of games played with 62 games played for and hour or more, greater than one new game a week. Overall the amount of time feels lower mainly due to the pressure of finishing off the teaching degree. 1,462 hours were logged at an average of ~28 hours a week.

And the winner is Football Manager (again) as the biggest timesponge on my computer. I'd also probably lump Civ4, Civ4:FFH, Colonization and CivRev into one category and contend the title, but FM09 would keep Football Manager in the hunt too.
One thing to note is that the games I made AARs for were all up in the top bracket. Possibly a bit of natural selection; a good game prompted me to write up an AAR, and doing the AARs kept the interest longer.
Honorable mentions to TrackMania as it was played across the most week / fortnightly reports, and Bejewelled Blitz for getting there too for such a simple game. Both offered simple relaxation after work.
