The best value game you have bought?

It's not popular around here, but I always get exceptional value out of FIFA games. I think it comes from having a sibling to play against, as the single player grates after a while.
Seriously I get hundreds of house out of 'em. Call it a guilty pleasure.

The Legend of Zelda Collection for the Gamecube at the price of £15. Consider that it's several games in one disc, I had played far more than 15 hours.
Although I paid $10 for my V:tM: B, it's still paying out in great entertainment.ThingWhatSqueaks said:
But, yeah, basically, 'What he said.'
I bought FFXII for ?10 and played it for over 1200 hours. I punch those numbers into my calculator and it makes a happy face.
Probably the original Civilization. I paid a buck for it and then played it all summer and most of the fall. Great game. I also paid $1 for Civ 2, but it was more of a pain to get running than Civ I, so I never logged much time on it.
Skyrim since I got it for £20.
WoW would seem like a contender since MMOs cost £2.25 per week so you only have to play 4 hours per week for it to be worthwhile but I remember when I was still playing I worked out I had spent like £350 on it all together between, Vanilla, expansions, guides and buying gold. That still sounds way too high but I think that's what it was. Oh yer I also included the subs up to that point so its about right,
TOR would still be one but TOR can suck it.
Civ 5 also could have been one but I racked up quite a bit of cost buying all the new leader/scenario packs and I only played it for 50 hours till I got that bug where steam completely fucked up and the game just wont launch.

Currently, Terraria tops that list easily.
414 hours, 10 bucks on launch (bought the 4-pack for 40, and was reimbursed).
And the game has just reached its one year anniversary.
Yeah. I kinda like it.
Followed by Borderlands, UT2004 (re-purchased since my CD collection was stolen), X-COM 1 through 3, Plants Vs Zombies, and then a smattering of games that took a while to beat the first time, but I haven't really replayed.
For my ALL-TIME best (not just in the last 5 years): Either Age of Empires 2, Master of Orion 2, or Diablo 2. I've also beaten Super Metroid and the first 5 Mega Man X games an unhealthy number of times.

you really love your mmo's, don't you? (nothing wrong with that, just always seem to see you post about mmo's, I think you had quite a thread opener on Tera maybe?)FranBunnyFFXII said:World of Warcraft, well at least after playing Free to Play MMORPGs for 8 years...
WoW is sooo worth it omg, WoW Vindictus and GuildWars2, only MMORPGs that matter
OT: well for multiplayer games, that is probably socom 2, i played that every.single.day. for over a damn year at least. don't know the value/ratio though.
single player though? probably kotor, i've beaten that game to hell and back with every mod known to man 40+ times....not an exaggeration. and I would do just about damn near everything each playthrough, so that roughly rounds out 30-50 hours per playthrough...O.O....
lots of hours.
