1. Tetris - Face it, you can never be done with tetris, and its so addicting

2. Warcraft 3 - I can agree with everyone here

3. Guild Wars - Already clocked in hundreds of hours to that game, and I'm still loving it. There is a lot to do and the developers really try to keep the game fresh and challenging for everyone. Its great.

4. Half Life 2 - I love that game, it is so immersive, and it comes with Counter Strike, so you can't beat that!

5. Zelda OoT - So good, so fun. Even after some new games come out, I still think longingly of that very first moment in 3D Hyrule.

Hmm, probably:

1. Chrono Trigger - I never get tired of playing this one. And 12 endings? Sign me up.

2. Jet Set Radio Future - I know it's not as good as Jet Grind Radio, but there's a lot more to do.

3. Tetris DS. Man there's a lot to do in that game.

4. Advance Wars: Dual Strike. Maybe I'll figure it out one of these days. That, and I can make unlimited maps.

5. Skies of Arcadia. Because everyone loves pirates.

Skies of Arcadia, as long as it's the GameCube version. The random battles in the Dream Cast game made me go insane, and that was back when I was younger and had a lot more tolerance for video games.

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- Are you retarded? Its the goshdarn Ocarina of Time!

2. The Legend of Zelda: Marjora's Mask
- I can switch between the two.

3. Star Wars - Knights of the Old Republic
- Its a fun game.

4. Star Wars - Kinghts of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
- Its a sequel to a fun game. And its fun, too.

5. Eternal Darkness
- Just because I always eventually want to play it again. Always.

*Exhale*

Oh man.

Ok (we've got a broadband connetion, right)

1) War Craft 3 + Frozen Throne. Every 6 months or so I go back to this and play Footies and an assload of TDs and I play nonstop for like 3 months. Can't go wrong with that.

2) Tecmo Super Bowl, the NES version. When NFL 2kX (99% of the gaming community can pretend I said Madden XX) came out, I played the hell out of it for a few months, if I were to put it in now, I couldn't stand it for more than 30 seconds. I can STILL play TSB for months on end, in fact, I think I'm going to fire it up soon as I finish this post.

3) Rise of Nations + Thrones and Patriots. I never thought any game would ever supplant Age of Empires 2, but I think RoN:T&P did. I've only had it for a few months so I hesitate to put it here, but....

4) The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. The best Zelda game, and rot in hell if you think otherwise. I've probably beat this game over a dozen times, and I still really enjoy a majority of the dungeons to almost the same extent that I did the first time around.

5) Mario Golf. GC or N64? I'm so torn. I think I'd have to go with the GC version because of the added depth, even though I don't particularly care for the swing mechanics as much (hypocritical of me in that the main difference is that GC's swing mechanics are more involved.)

Game's I'd strongly consider:

Metroid Prime: Only beat it once, and I'd really like to do it again, but will I enjoy it the 15th time through?

Panzer Dragoon Orta: I think it's been about 18 months since I've begged the board to buy this game, but I'm not sure I wouldn't eventually tire of it in much the same way I might tire of Metroid Prime.

Ace Combat Anything: I enjoy too many specific parts of the indivdual games to take just one, and I can't justify taking more than one.

Civ #: Civ 2 was so good, but later games did so many things that I wish it was able to do, so it loses a lot of it's charm. Civ 3 really sucked. I haven't played Civ 4, but I hear good things, maybe that could make the list one day.

Secret of Mana: Haven't played it in about 5 years, I fear if I fire it up it won't be anywhere as good as I remember it.
