I reinstall and replay Deus Ex about once a year. There is no other way to say it: the game transcended the genre, and I'm not talking about RPG or FPS; I'm talking about the genre of Video Games.

well, im always increasing my game library, and have several games i havent really gotten to play yet. so there isnt much backtracking. but pokemon gold and kingdom hearts keeps me ever faithful.

Gotta' be playing Symphony of The Night on japanese import with a guide when I needed it.

I remember getting it Feb of 98 just after it got released in japan in christmas 97.

I was sooo friggin excited when I got it. Easily I have put in 1000+ hours into SoTN with all various saved games. I wish I kept them all :(

But I still go back to it at least twice a year. One for the PSX and the other Sega Saturn. BEST. GAME. EVER! hehe.

Gradius games for me - any flavour.

Blew me away (and made me poor) in the arcades, played it on the SNES, played it in emulation, now it's welded in my NDS (Konami Arcade Hits).

My poor NDS - all the buttons are getting mashed before it's time...
DAMN YOU, GRADIUS!!! DAMN YOU, KONAMI!!!

i have 2 games i will play regularly: Megaman 2 and castlevania:SOTN.

Megaman 2 is just the best early NES representative of a milestone game. The gameplay, the music, the cleverness of its simple mechanics. I love it all and this game suckers me back into it every years or 2.

SOTN is for me the perfect exemple of what can be achive in 2D if you really put an effort into it. It KO's a lot of 3D games, even today.
Within the bondaries of this game, everything is close to perfection.

If i ever have to give advice for some retro gaming, these 2 are it.

p.s: can't say for sure since it is too early, but fallout 3 will probably be on my list in 3-4 years...

For some weird reason every year i got to play Shinning Force 2.

Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Day of The Tentacle, Sam & Max Hit The Road are others that from time to time i find myself returning to.

But Shinning Force 2 is the one that really gets me.

SoTC-the game that demanded I had to get a fully backward compatable 60gig PS3 when I traded in my loyal PS2.

I realise it's a pretty well adored game by those who played it and that you shouldn't feel the need to play it through religiously EVERY month eps when you've seen all there is to see. There's no real reason for me to do so.It doesn't have any features that require you to keep playing at all so I can only assume what keeps me coming back is the noble, sad eyed innocent behemoths that I keep killing(and feeling like crap about)and the sheer quality built into the most immersive game I've ever played.

Well, that and the fact that we STILL don't have a clue what's really coming next from Team Ico. Oh Dormin!

banjo kazooie...zelda ocarina of time...cod

all classics
noobeater  - 6 months 12 days ago 
actually the only game i have went back on more then 5 times is to play banjo kazooie (my all time favourite game)

Wanna know Why?

because i have a life, you 292 as i speak people need to do the same, why go back to these good yet inferior games when Rare made this masterpiece. Yes i said it and i have the hidden identity of the internet to say this. So really theres nothing you can do about it.

=D

SPLINTER CELL CHAOS THEORY and also ESPN NFL 2K5. I am still addicted to both those last gen titles.

What game do i always go back to...

I would have to say resident evil 4 and timesplitters 2
SnarlingDonut  - 6 months 12 days ago 
resident evil one on the ps1. the characters have such cheezy lines! its not horror, its comedy!!!
joebob286  - 6 months 12 days ago 
You can't forget good old Oblivion

150+ hours and i still find myself going back to that game when i have no new games and nothing better to do

I always go back to Final Fantasy XII.
I have played it 164 hrs. and still haven't beat it. I would find a new game to play and then forget about it.

E.V.O. for the snes. No matter how many times I play it I always have fun munching on Jellyfish, getting hit by those damned flyers on the mountain, and trying to become a human. The various parts you can use to build your creature also adds a nice bit of replay value. This has been and will be my fav. game for along time.
