"Your" Game

Ack! Will you STOP pointing the (expensive) finger of fate at games and forcing me to buy them?? Speaking of which aren't you forgetting to mention one of your other favorites? Something about a CeruleanFire or something like that....Durxom said:
Hee hee all kidding aside Street Fighter is one, and Phantasy Star is another, I would say Final Fantasy since I've owned 7 of them (one day I'll actually beat one!) I'm a big defender of Sonic, and yes I'll be down with all future iterations of the aforementioned "missing" game on your list. Any game that alows me to combine Taoist principles, martial arts, meat buns, pre-cognitive learning and a squirrel I will defend with Sir Didimus like tenacity.
My game? It will always either be Shadow of the Colossus, or The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction.
SotC is just so good I will always come back to it (I played it twice this month, even with my PS3 and PC with current gen games).
As for The Incredible Hulk, what can I say? being the Hulk is possibly the ultimate power fantasy for me, since he's my favorite superhero by far.
Even with Radical making [Prototype] and [Prototype2] now, whilst they are the spiritual sucessors to TIH with the same gameplay and sense of freedom, it's just not quite the same and, dare I say, not as good.

Probably Pokemon (Generation 1 mostly, but i also replayed the shit out of Sapphire) And Persona 4
Warcraft 3: the custom games dominated nearly 5 years of my pc-gaming life.
Starfox 64: One of the best games I've ever played and the first game I ever bought with my own money.
Psychonauts

Well I don't do this anymore, so limiting to a game or two is kind of impossible for me... I've just got too many games and not enough time (or justification for the time) to spend on them. But I'll run the gauntlet for your viewing and nostalgia pleasure.
Compelling Games that I Used to Play Habitually
The numeric Sonic's (mostly the first... only completed it recently -- ty PS2 save-state)
Sonic Spinball
Tiny Toon Adventures (another Genesis title)
Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds
Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Demo (my brother and I were obsessed with it like you wouldn't believe... finally ponied up the money for it on GOG, beat the very first campaign level and really haven't touched it too much since -- it's not really any wonder though, we pour massive amounts of time into grinding peaks out of our characters, so it's a bit of a frightening investment of time)
Crash Team Racing
Crash Bash
Gran Turismo 3
NHL titles (played 2002 the most, but used to play any version given the chance)
Ratchet and Clank (mostly Up Your Arsenal)
Double Dragon (Master System)
Pokemon (Blue and Ruby are pretty much the extent)
DDR Max 2
Tony Hawk (and Disney Extreme Skate Adventure -- Hey the mechanics were solid!)
Driver
Tale Spin (Genesis again)
Super Smash Brothers (all of 'em -- only own Brawl though)
If I still played games in this manner, I would probably mostly play MW2, StarCraft and DDR (choice, I know). Of the games that I would put up a fight against replaying anymore they would be: Pokemon, which I find to be way too much of a chore; and Battlegrounds, because I played the utter crap out of it and playing it online or through LAN is pretty much impossible.

Definitely Resident Evil 4. I don't really care for the other ones, but that one I never get sick of playing it. I've played it about 60 times since I first got it in 2006, and I'm still not tired of it.
