What game do you keep going back to?

[Rheden_Sol]

Earlier in the year...


....WoW....

 

[IndieRocker]

Super Smash Bros Brawl is still great at parties

 

[CmdrGoob]

Quite a lot actually, I tend to replay my favorite games quite regularly.

Half Life 2 has never left my hard drive. Neither has Warcraft 3. Diablo 2 keeps coming and going. Painkiller I've bought twice because I lost the old disc and my hard drive died. Quake 1 is another permanent fixture, been playing that every now and then for a decade, even done some speed runs of it. Master of Orion 1 I've been going back to on and off for like a decade. Plenty of others, too.

For me? The Original Magic: the Gathering video game. Honestly, I was thinking about getting a 360 SOLELY for the XBLA version of it if it had updated cards + online play.

Woah, that's an odd one, but me too. There's always the prospect of building an even more amusingly overpowered deck to draw me back.

 

[Fortune55]

I still play the first SW:KotoR every so often I'll never put that game away for good ^_^

 

[PureChaos]

Phantasy Star Online: Episode 1 & 2. one of these days, i will find a Yasha...

Just out of curiosity, you play on SCHTSERV? I think I might know someone that you could trade with. That is, if they're still playing -_-

i play the gamecube version on a wii so cant get online. i also don't have a broadband adapter so i'm a bit stuffed really.

 

[Darthracoon]

I keep going back to

Evil Genius

Star Wars:Republic Commando(The best game ever)

Sims 2

And Hitman:Blood Money(The second best game ever)

 

[Aiden Rebirth]

TETRIS!!! I just keep buying that game, curse u cellphones!!!

 

[Mean Mother Rucker]

Jade Cocoon. Great combat mechanics in that one.

Oblivion, man that was a great game, but for me it was too short.

GotY edition? Because that one actually took me a while, but yeah, Oblivion too.
Age of Mythology.
FF 8 & 9. Their beginnings are just so amazing that I can't stop myself.

 

[haveyouseen_mywallet]

any of the first three of resident evil and all the legend of zelda.

 

[Resistance205]

Any of the Half Life's.

Mass Effect.

Star Wars: Knights of The Old Republic.

And when i am in a stabby sneaky mood: Assassin's creed.

 

[goater24]

Mario 64 gets a completion once every say 6 months, Dungeon Keeper is another game to get played through on a regular basis too.

Mariocast SNES and Soul Calibre 2 are staples for when mates are round.

 

[hellthins]

Evil Genius

HIGH FIVE!

I also seem to find my way back to KOTOR and KOTOR II in spite of having beaten both a few times now. VtM - Bloodlines as well, in spite of having beaten it as well. And I still occasionally come back to BG2, but every time I always stop right before I finish the game.

 

[goater24]

Twisted Metal 2. I have all of them (except head-on and three) but I still play the second. I just love the game even though it doesn't have the best graphics. I love it.

Twisted 2 for the win!!!! Go Spectre and Warthog, pah to the graphics I say. The gameplay and level design was awesome. Antarticaaarrrgh!!!!

 

[ndogg34]

Minesweeper

Faux Show. Expert is for gods amongst men.

I'm down to 171 seconds for Expert. I shaved off 30 seconds once I learned that left+right clicking will clear out all the spaces around a square if you have flagged the mines around it.

I was always more a Thumper/Mr. Grimm guy with a dash of Grasshopper thrown in. The level design was BRILLIANT...from the hellishly frustrating New York to the outrageously hectic Holland. If people continue with interesting level design it won't matter about graphics. And as a final testament to how much I love TM2... I beat with every character and wrote down every code...yes I was that obsessed.

Even 2-D games are really fun. Take for example Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. This game was brilliant despite being two dimensional due to the fantastic colouring (all very bright). Furthermore it had brilliant (in my opinion) boss fights. Games seem to be missing these two things and developers are investing more money and time into Graphics.

Throw off the reigns of next gen graphic oppressors and return to the promised land of brilliant gameplay!

 

[Avatar Roku]

Red Alert 2 - Yeah, it's not the deepest RTS, but what other one has Prism Towers and battles between specially trained dolphins and mind controlled giant squids?

Yeah, I'd be going back to that too if my disk wasn't scratched. And, for some reason, Yuri's Revenge never worked on my computer.

Anyway, I keep going back to Mass Effect. I'm about to finish my 8th playthrough, and I'm already planning my 9th.

 

[Dudemeister]

Super Mario World - SNES

If a game is boring I don't go back to it...
But if a game is great than I'll play it forever, like CoD 4.

Super Mario World - SNES

[Fightgarr]

I keep coming back to Final Fantasy Tactics, I just love the story.
Lost Vikings I pick up every two years or so.
TMNT 4: Turtles in Time is always a classic.
Grim Fandango (of course).
Pokemon (Gold or Yellow depending on how purist I'm feeling).
Chrono Trigger and Cross.
Monster Rancher 2 (that game can be quite the smack addiction).

Rome: Total war

As games become boring then un-boring to me Rome's always been a fall-back game if I get bored.
