In order:
1) StarCraft/Brood War (PC) More times than I care to remember. I loved the story, the gameplay and the graphics. This made me love gaming, and the moment I beat the game without using the cheats did more for me than my country winning the world cup.
2) Day Of The Tentacle/Sam & Max Hit The Road (PC) Again, very often. The moment where you see the twisted logic behind the puzzles and finally figure out what you should be doing, is like noticing a bush in your back garden is on fire and talking to you. Greater affirmations cannot be found in day to day life. The sense of humour in the writing is what gives it its replay value.
3) Prince Of Persia: Sands Of Time (PS2) 3 times-ish. Yes, it's unbelievably linear. Yes, the puzzles offer no challenge once they've been solved. Yes, repeatedly sticking demons with the Dagger of time gets monotonous. But I just don't care. It looks beautiful. The physics are amazing. The free-running moves will make you feel like you can fly. I read a review that captioned a picture of the wall-run with the phrase: "You will never, EVER, get tired of this move." They weren't kidding.
4) Lego Star Wars (PS2) Three or four times. Not only is it the ony way to enjoy the latest three Star Wars films in any way, shape or form, it's also made out of Lego! C'mon people... LEGO!!! Not to mention that you can go from 0% to 100% completion in about 5 hours if you know what you're doing, saving you plenty of time to replay other classic games.
5) NFL Street (PS2) Twice. I'm not even a fan of American Football, but everyone needs a game they can play for just 20 minutes without suddenly losing 3 days.
6) Destroy All Humans II/Bully (PS2) Will be played again. Just plain fun, and a delightfully vicious sense of humour is prevalent.
7) WarCraft III (PC) Twice. It's all about the Horde baby!
