Addicting or Addictive?

hrm addictive sounds right on the 2nd one too.
Yea. Addictive is an adjective. Addicting is a transitive verb (The game was addicting him)...I think that's how it is
 
addicting is a verbal adjective

addictive is an adjective

Addictive works in both cases grammatically. As a pure adjective modifying a noun in the first case and as a substantive adjective in the second.

Addicting is also correct, try replacing it with "trying" (as in trying your patience)

That is a trying game.
That game is trying.

I was wondering what everyone uses.

I choose addictive.
