Anybody else out there still stuck going back to a older favorite even when new games are released? Mine, CounterStrike Source. Can't seem to find a better FPS. Oh yeah, Diablo 2.....I'll save the D3 cryin for another time.;)
 
I still dust off Unreal Tournament 99 and 2004 occasionally. Also Quake III and Starcraft once in a while.
 
Can't explain it. Halo (single player/PC).

Gone through that game more than any other.

I guess its like soda pop. Clean and goes down easy. Entertaining but not the investment that other games demand which I usually happen to like.
 
Planescape: Torment. Truly one of a kind and will likely stay that way.
 
I am playing through the new Metroid Trilogy version of Metroid Prime and it is spectacular. It pretty much blows everything I've got on any platform out of the water.
 
Bioshock. I've ran thru it too many times. Yet I still go back over and over to spend an evening......with Sander Cohen.
 
Q3 Arena, but now UT99 is sounding pretty good. Man, those were good times.
 
Painkiller. Played through it three more times after a recent thread around here...
Also run through Doom / II again from time to time.
 
Unreal Tournament 2004, and F1 Challenge 99-22 (only because there wasn't any new F1 game since this one)
 
Alien Vs Predator (1999)
Slowly acquiring the cheats again. Don't play games as much anymore. I use to play like 7 hours a day then 3 - 4 hours a day. Now I only play like an hour every 3 days or so.
 
every few months i get the CSS bug in me and have to play like mad for a week or two. Same thing happens with diablo 2, but on a yearly basis instead of every few months.
 
There's a few, but I'll mention Wizardry 8. I just seem to keep coming back to play this game every now and again. Either with a new and unusual party design or a solo character. Nice game mechanics, a wide variety of viable character classes, and numerous ways to build those characters.

indeed, I play this game every so often and it's still fun each and every time, a true classic, also S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl, I still haven't played Clear Sky, the deathmatches online in SoC are the most fun I've ever had gaming, though they do get ruined sometimes by guys who want to win so bad that they have cheats installed somehow, this may be quite easy (installing and playing with cheats), but I just play straight up like a real man does...
 
I've played through Resident Evil 4 a total of 36 times across 3 platforms so far...

I pretty much know where every single item and secret is, yet I still have fun playing through the game time after time...




Wolf ET is also a game that just keeps nagging at me, even after I get pissed off at it and say I'll never play it again. I still find myself going back to it every now and then...
 
^ I like the names you came up with for your rigs! Screamin' Midget! haha

I keep going back to UT3 even though it's buggy and nobody plays it. Something just feels so "weighty" about it.
 
Ive played through Half-Life 2 quite a few times now...

Played the original Unreal Tournament quite a long time as well.
 
The UT series. No other multiplayer games have been able to keep my attention this much. Also Megaman 2, because it takes me about 30-45 minutes to completely run through the game and I beat it at least a couple of times a year.
 
I have the propensity to move on. Rarely have I got stuck on a game, I guess it's partly related to having the attention span of a common garden insect!
 
Master of Orion (the first one). Haven't found a strategy game to date that i enjoy as much as MOO. Incredibly dated, but incredibly fun.

You should REALLY try Sword of The Star (SOTS) with all the expansion packs. I'm totally addicted to this game and playing it everyday since I got it.
 
C&C Renegade (2002): Has great team based play, but you can still enjoy the game on your own. Simple enough to just play, but I still learn new tricks after all these years. Knowing what vehicles and characters counter what is just as important as your aim.

Someone mentioned Painkiller and I have to agree. Between the great level design and unique weapons the game was just fun.
 
Diablo2, I go back to it for a few months every year. Best game ever made as far as i am concerned.

Hmmm. Never even heard of that game. Turn based?
 
UT2004 and 99 seem to be a pretty popular choice, they are mine also but i havent played them in awhile.
I cant stop going back to Red Alert: Yuris Revenge for some reason. I make my own ini files for it so its usually changing around allot.
Hell, I still have my original quake install with all the mods on my drive. Nice thing is I burned the entire directory to a disc and I can just copy and paste and play.
 
Final Fantasy 7, easily.

I remember I used to host a free geocities site dedicated to it. I even posted my methods of beating Emerald Weapon and Ruby Weapon legit!
 
Rome Total War, nonstop epic battle and great game overall.

Team Fortress 2.

Another one for me in the past has been Oblivion, with the help of mods, the game almost never ends.
 
Descent 2, and Half Life 2.

Some of the projects that I've seen for Descent 2 to get it playable and give it a facelift on modern systems is pretty cool.

I remember having LAN tournament for Descent, btw that game is awesome with the old virtual 3d glasses from the 90's. I cant believe how much depth of field that added.
