Ok, we all have our favorite games.
There are two kinds of games that I have an affinity towards. First off there are the games that make you glad you played them. The kind of games that look insanely good, or play insanely good, or even do something new that surprised you. These games are fun to talk about with friends, but eventually they are traded away to gamestop or ebay or your local version of "Russ's Used Stuff and Whatnot's". That or they get put onto the shelf only to collect a thin film of dust.
Then we have the OTHER kind. The games we will relentlessly play the piss out of until its possible to destroy the high score with our eyes closed. We get so good at the game that it becomes an amusement to watch others fail miserably at it, laughing on our high throne of videogame superiority. It's the games that we put in sometime before lunchtime and are shocked when the alarm for the next day's school/work rings just as we are getting warmed up. What game does that for you for this console generation? Have we had one of these suckers?
I think for me it's Burnout Paradise. I don't think there's a better game where I can sit and pound on it for long sessions and still feel like I am trying new things, seeing new events unfold, and getting even better at creating sheet metal on sheet metal softcore.
How about you guys? What game of this generation has your most time played?
