Games you keep going back to?

fear i always delete it and play it again game is scary as fuck...but yeah Mass Effect same for me tryin to get all quests also Halflife series i always try to get all achivements

Planescape Torment. Dungeon Keeper. Fallout 1+2. The Baldur's Gate Trilogy. The original C&C.

You know. Good games.

Mafia beacause this is one of the most epic game in the world.

Commandos :) IF you know the game then you are the BOSS!!!

Dwarf Fortress =P

Half-Life... Do i need to explain?

I used to play Chrono Trigger for every ending during the summer for about 4 years. I got it down to beating it in 3-7 days (using game genie to help fight against Lavos at the end of time), then stopped because of school :( . I still haven't beaten the re-release yet. In due time I will.

Psychonauts, I've beaten it on the consoles a few times and now I'm playing through it on steam

Serious sam, its kept me coming back since 2002ish

Guildwars, C&C and dark messiah. Depending on the new mods, Bethesda games tend to get more playthroughs aswell.

Counter Strike 1.6

Hype - The Time Quest ^-^

LoZ:Ocarina of Time, because I like to be reminded that there are good games out there and that it's worth playing them. Needless to say that one is still the best game to this day.

Audio surf, every time I get some new music i tend to run a few tracks lol. Apart from that I always go back to css and wow every so often.

XCOM Apocalypse.
Deuteros (Via an Amiga emulator).
Missionforce Cyberstorm.
Mechcommander 2.
Supreme Commander and Forged Alliance.

Crysis (1 and Warhead). No idea why I love to run around planting C4's on tanks and killing aliens.

Skyrim, Fallout 3/New Vegas (i prefer Fallout 3 though) Saints Row 2, Saints Row The Third, Earthbound, Mother 3, Fable III, Red Dead Redemption. a bunch of games.

No idea why i keep playing them, i guess i just have fun with them.

I don't really have any 1 game that I keep going back to. I always keep going back to one game, getting distracted, then going to another game.

Based on time (and ignoring TF2 because it's the most played game on so many peoples' lists), my main one is Borderlands. I always spend an entire night playing it with some friends, and then we all basically forget about its existence for a couple of weeks to a month, and then we go back and spend an entire night on it again.

Based on games which I just randomly go back to, I'd have to say that my game is Ogre Battle 64. I've owned it since shortly after it came out and I still haven't beaten it. I always get about half-way through, and then a new game comes out and I lose focus on it. When I come back to play it again I just can't bring myself to continue with the current playthrough and feel the need to start over. This cycle has been repeating itself for the past ~11 years.

Based on games which I've beaten multiple times, I'd say that that goes to Fable 2. I've beaten it on 360 probably 5 or 6 times.

Edit: I thought of a late addition to my list: Just Cause 2. I don't keep going back to replay the game, or because I can't beat a specific mission. I go back because you can only spend so much time flying around a city looking for a single missing item before you need to either stop or risk going insane.

Not really any.

None. I preffer to play games a bit and ditch them and play other games and come back to the ditched games back again :) But I must say that I sure love TrackMania :D

The only game that I can think of that I've really gone back to is SimCity 4.

It's the only game that I've gone back to more than a couple of times (and that I still go back to.)

I never really understood how people play campaigns over and over; isn't the plot spoiled after the first run through?

But yeah, I keep going back to (read: can't get away from) L4D2. The multiplayer is unlike anything else. Every day's a new game pretty much ^_^. So fun eeeeeeeeeee I just recently broke 500 hours on that baby.

counter strike 1.6 , becoming great in that game has become a quest :d

I play Spelunky to procrastinate little bits of time so I've been playing it much more than I should.

Diablo 1 - The best hack 'n slash RPG, randomized selection of main and side quests, completely randomized dungeons, cool bosses, fun looting, nice inventory management, no grinding, no censoring, excellent atmosphere, amazing sound track, some good voice acting (the hero, at least), excellent graphics - even for today, those succubi are still looking pixeliciously smokin'.

ONI - The gameplay is just pure fun, unlike the level design & missions unfortunately.

STALKER:SOC - I feel at peace whenever I play that game, I just keep wandering around the zone, admiring the beautiful & deserted landscape, and if I do happen to stumble in a gunfight, that's a bonus.

Fallout 1 & 2 because both are most epic games for me - post nuclear "do what you want" & "save the world" games. Also Portal & Portal 2 for good puzzles (not to hard, not to easy) and much of humor. And for the same thing - Monkey Island 1, 2, 3 (excluding Monkey Island 4 - I just don't like way you control and see the world in Monkey Island 4 - never finished it btw because of that).
