Page 1 of Games that you just can`t stop playing!

Usually I get bored of a game within a week or so, but occasionally a game comes along that I just never get tired of. So I thought I would write a list of the games here. I sold most of my stuff but still hung on to my gamecube for these reasons, in no particular order:

Gamecube
Resident Evil 4 : Completed 3 times and play Mercenaries constantly, best game I have ever, ever played.
Soul Calibur 2: I keep on improving, so it keeps sucking me back in.
Mario Golf:Toadstool Tour: No idea why, it is just so beautifully crafted. It is hard to master yet easy for beginners so you always get a good match.

Yes, there are some games you keep returning to.

PC:
klingon Accadmy - pitty the missons crash on XP/2000
elite / newkind (and occasionaly others in the series) - what can I say, Frontier Developments, get Elite 4 out NOW!!!!.
C&C Red alert 2 (multiplayer)
Civilisation II (civ III is too complex)
Homeworld / Homewold 2 (multiplayer)

internet:
Planatarion - Too adictive. (I purchased my first WAP phone to play this away from a computer!) I wish I had time to play this, but with work...... :-( If only there was an off-line version.

Mine are (both on P.C):

Football Manager 2005
TOCA Race Driver 2

FFVII [Playstation] - I`ve gone through it over a dozen times since I got it in 1997. And that`s no mean feat considering I work for every limit break, collect every materia and defeat every Weapon. It`s like a favourite book - it never, ever gets old no matter how many times you pick it up! :)

Other than that, it would probably be FFVIII (brilliant, but no FFVII) and NFL 2K4 on the Xbox.

Nothing new here (If you`ve read the Desert Island Games thread ;) ), but thems are me games and am stickin` tae them!

I mention this every time there is a thread on PC games, but my current favourite is Black Hawk Down multiplayer which I still play on a weekly/daily basis dependant on free time. I`ve been playing it since I got the free demo in the DVD of the film when it was first released, so over two years.

Mind, I can see it being overtaken by BF2 shortly...

Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn...

And those who dance will spin and turn,
And those who wait will wait no more,
And those who talk will hear the words,
And those who see will fade and die,
And those who laugh will surely fall,
And those who know will always feel their backs against the thin wall...

Halo 2 - its like crack, man.....

Zelda and Mario aside, it`s very rare that a game gets me like that nowadays, so I was surprised recently when I spent a whole day playing the sublime Beyond Good and Evil on my `Cube, and just couldn`t turn it off. Funny too, that you should mention Soul Calibur 2, I`ve been on that a lot recently also. As you say, you seem to get better the more you play it, which draws you back again and again. Plus I`ve only just started playing as Link, and he`s possibly the best character in it.

Myself and a good mate cannot stop trying to beat our lap records on `Isle of Man TT superbikes`.
Perfecting 37+ miles of track at an average speed of 140mph is mind boggling stuff,but brilliant fun.
I keep going back to the MotoGP games as well.

Commonly known as practice? Dunno there`s too many games I get better at the more I play them. It can`t be a coincidence.

Only one, World of Warcraft. :)
