I was just thinking of all the games I've bought over the years...and which ones I still play today. Wow...some of these games have given me tons of bang for my buck so to speak. If not the actual game...it's the mods or custom maps that come out for it.

These are games I've logged at least 100 hours each playing a piece:

-Starcraft
-Diablo 2 (used to play it a lot)
-Warcraft 3

Hmm....seeing a trend with Blizzard games? I'm sure I'd be hooked in if I bought WoW

-HL1 (mods of course)
-Halo

These are all games I've played probably over a hundred hours a piece with at least. I don't play Diablo 2 and Starcraft any more...but I regularly play WC3 custom games (I like a good DOTA) and I still play HL1 mods from time to time. Lots of other games out there don't have that much replayability worked in...and I applaud Blizzard for making their games stand the test of time. Just check out Bnet and see how many still play Starcraft, D2 and Wc3...hundreds of thousands. It's crazy.
 
-Half-Life.
-Unreal Tournament 2004.
-Far Cry.
-Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time.
-StarCraft (This was a Christmas gift, but I'll still count it.).
 
-Half-Life (bought brand new when it first came out for 20 bucks at a computer show. Definately worth it.)
-Starcraft (have a burned copy, and I still play it. Buying the Battle Chest soon.)
-GTA: San Andreas
-Chrono Trigger
-Harvest Moon (I swear to God I'm straight)

Let's see... games that I bought...

Final Fantasy 7
Was an impulse buy. Had previously hired it out and thought it was a piece of crap. I'm still not sure why but I had a random change of heart and decided to dish out for the platinum edition. Once I got past the teddybear character models - BEST. GAME. EVER. ;)

Half-Life
Got GOTY. So much replay value, and the Single Player was fun as hell first couple times through :sniper: BEST. CHRISTMAS PRESENT. EVER. (to the best of my recollection)

Unreal Tournament
Got it second hand from Cash Converters for like $10. Was awesome to finally play the full game after being addicted to the demo for literally about a year :E BEST. DEMO. EVER. (and also) BEST. MULTIPLAYER GAME. EVER.

Half-Life 2
Obviously :rolleyes: BEST. FPS. EVER.
 
Half-Life 2 - Best FPS Ever.
Final Fantasy VII - Best Game Ever.
Call of Duty - Great FPS
Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2 - Hours of Multiplayer gaming as well as the Single Player
Commandos 2 - Loved it.
