Mount and Blade. The graphics are horribad, there is no real story other than what you decide to invent in your head and the troop controles are dodgy at best and directly suicidal at worst. Still, the feeling of freedom is so incredible that I just cant help but love it. Normal games have 60 play hours max for me if it is a good game - only 2 games ever surpassed that and that is kotor 1 (with 127 hours, 60 of which are probably afk time anyway), dota (which I have been playing since 2003) and Mount and Blade which so far has clocked an astounding (my my perspective) 207 hours of play time... And I am in no way even near to having finished it.
I have been ninja'd many times, but I shall write them down anyway:
DA2 - Loved the first, loved the second
Fable 2
Shadow the Hedgehog
Fifa 99 - Occasional horrible design, but was still fun.

What is this, and where can I find it? Googling "space engine" now...Blaster395 said:Space Engine.
Its not even a game but it just looks so damn good.

OT: MW2. The multiplayer is hilariously unbalanced and questionably designed, but it lets you do stuff like this:
Deadly Premonition. Best terrible game ever. Play through it, and laugh your way through ridiculous characters and storyline.
OMG!!!!! that was my very first Playstation game!!!!TheHappySquid said:

According to most people, Dragon Age 2 sucked, yet it's one of my favorite games...
EDIT: Also the second and third games in the Fable series. [sub]although I wish Captain Saker had more of a role in 3...[/sub]

Crackdown 2. It got bad reviews because it was repetitive and didn't have a good story. Well fuck that! I play Crackdown to dick around.... and that's exactly what a did.
Alpha Protocol.
Some very bad design choices, unbalanced gameplay, crappy AI and lot's of bugs with some memorable (although mostly bland) characters, with great storytelling and the best dialogue implementation I have seen to date. Also, choices that matter in the short and long run, making AP a true RPG, unlike some other games sadly mistaken for RPGs (*cough* ME series *cough*).

I don't know if it actually "sucks" as the game's got good reviews but is hated here on the Escapist (mostly). Modern Warfare 2.
Assasin's Creed - I can't bring myself to hate it
Darsiders - originality: 0%. But I guess it has a small shine of personality
Fable III - Stephen Fry; 'nuff said
Dragon Age II
A Shadow's Tale (or whatever the fuck it's called in Britain)

The Simpson's games for the NES:
Controls are horrid, the levels are varying levels of unfair (Museum from Space Mutants, Ice world from Vs. The world, every level from Radioactive man.)
But, it has a LOT of nostalgia value, since it was one of the first games I have played and seen beat, never beat any of them, but saw my brother beat the Space Mutants 3 times start to finish.
More recently: Bulletstorm. Basically a semi-throwback to old run and gun shooters of the 90's before they all hit the Copy CoD button. It would be more or less perfect if they removed the regenerating health and replaced it with health packs and "Ego" (A la Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project), and got rid of the weapon limit, and enemies hiding in cover.
I just love the fact that it doesn't take itself seriously. I mean there is the part at the end, where everything is played straight, but it didn't really bother me. Could just be a coping mechanism for Gray to deal with the death he caused/is causing, but maybe I'm just looking into it too much.
