I always go back to Jedi Academy and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, both on the PC. I've murdered half my time on earth with those two.

Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence.

In MGS3:S there are so many secrets (Cutscenes, areas, items, camo. And not to mention the mini-games) that each playthrough is guaranteed to be unique. Also with all the gadgets and weaponry and and how big the areas are you can go about each section with a completely different style. Re-playability is essential to make someone play through a game multiple times, and that's a huge strength of MGS3:S.

I've played through the game countless times.

The Disgaea series. And anything else by Nippon Ichi. I'll just keep grindin' grindin' grindin'....

SPITBALL SPARKY

1984 Game & Watch.

Where gaming began for me when my dad gave me his G&W.

Many years later it still works perfectly and i can never resist the little guy. :)

The current-gen game I always go back to is Metal Gear Solid 4, no matter what every so often I get an itch and I plow through the game in one or two days then it gets slid back onto my shelf until next time. The story is just one of the best albeit confusing (to those who may not have played the other Metal Gear games) stories in modern gaming. The old-school game I always go back to is Super Mario World, I still go old school with it, I blow into the cartridge, pop the glorious gray rectangle into my somewhat yellowing SNES, flip the switch up, the screen stays black so I have to repeat the process then we are golden and I am hopping through ghost houses and underground caves in no time. It's a link to my childhood, I was a Nintendo kid, i always preferred Mario to Sega and Sonic, and it turned out that I stuck with the winner, Sonic is like an aging pornstar, he needs to retire before it gets even more sad than it is, one more bad game and it should be time to hang up the red and white shoes for a while and give Sonic a rest, then in a couple of years, just like they did with Bionic Commando, go back to Sonic and bring him back better than ever, without the damn Werehogs, all we need is a couple of running courses, Sonic, and Robotnik, not Eggman, Robotnik, it worked with Megaman 9, why not Sonic the Hedgehog 4.

I still own a working Sega Mega-Drive, and you cannot beat the original Sonic games, Golden Axe, Rocket Knight Adventures, Street Fighter (I think 3) Special Edition.

Also a special mention to 'I Wanna Be The Guy'

Spiderman 2. Hands down. It's a game I've bought 3 times so far, and it's the only game from the original Xbox I've kept. I bought it, thought I was done with it, traded it. Bought it again after a hankering, thought I was finally done with it, and traded it.

I saw it for $20 about a year ago and couldn't resist. I'll still throw it in every couple of weeks and swing around Manhattan with reckless abandon. There's just something about it that gets old after 4 or 5 hours, but doesn't stay old past a week. It is, in my opinion, the best Spiderman game of them all.

But on the ps2 i used to always go on Ratchet and Clank 3!!!
unclemitso  - 6 months 13 days ago 
On my ps3 i always go back to assasins creed for some reason (probably cause its so repetitive anyway)But overall i got to say Kingdom Hearts 1&2 on Ps2, those games practically tuck me in at night lol
Shoopdapoop  - 6 months 13 days ago 
I'd have to say the Half Life series.
It's like watching a movie you've seen 8 times before and is still new to you.

I have a baaad habit... When i am really bored of all hawx skinning,gaming,3d designing, tennis (real-world not virtua),soccer,and of course p0rn i like 2 uhhh just open up GRAW (on PC) play like it's goddamn COD or sth running n gunning my way through everything (lets say 2 guys who hadn't seen me) until i get shot in the head then (mitchell? darn it mitchell! We have a captain down on the batlefield all units retreat and prepare for immediate evacuation.We are out of here. See i learned it all by heart!) i just press reload last checkpoint (well savegame) and GRAW crashes (u can tell cuz the skull-head isn't spinning) and then i try all sorts of ctrl-alt-del,alt-tab, reset buton cuz it's stupid vista and when i get in a second GRAW loading screen it HAS 2 crash like it can't give it a chance or sth.Then my PC ends-up power cut and i remind myself not to open GRAW for a week.Then next week there we go again...

Btw i am going 2 get GRAW as a book.Just wanted 2 show the rest of the internet what a mazochistic jackassss i am.Yaaaaaay!

I've gotta say mine is GTA: San Andreas. The graphics definitely arent the greatest but the open ended gameplay and all of the different terrains and buroughs of the city make this a definte comeback game.

Rome: Total War
Whenever my Xbox 360 is not working, or my other family members are playing it, I will go back to Rome, or at least try to sack it. That game drains time, seriously you will start playing, and even though you just expanded from northern Italy to controlling most of Western Europe, you do not realize that you just spent most of you day doing it. And that my friends is why I do not play empire buliding games on weekdays, curse you public education!
