Same here. I just can't replay a game for very long. The closest I've come was Far Cry and Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. Both of those I got about halfway.

I really wish I could replay my games.

I actually got tired of Vampire the Masquerade about an hour into it my FIRST time. Does it get better?

yes

it is easily the equivalent of DeusEx ... RPG-type games usually all start "slow"
:Q
-but then i am also enjoying Hg:L for the 4nd time ... currently over halfway as a Level 18 Summoner - it changes that much; it is now a *minion game*

I've played through Half Life 2 proper roughly 7 times now. Twice on Normal and the rest in Hard. It's crazy because it's so linear. But I just love so much about that game and love experiencing the atmosphere, for me, that is just doesnt get dull. I know--it's a little weird.

Almost all games I've bought except for FEAR and Condemed. Basically if the game had light in it I'd play it more than once.

Just reading through this thread again and I realized after seeing your post that there is one game I've played through twice. KotOR I. I played once light side and once dark side.

Wow. What about Crusaders of the DS?

Meh, i didn;t like crusaders or Wizardy 8 as much as Bane. I hated the fact that Crusaders didn;t let you import all your items from Bane. I rememebr sitting there for hours restarting the game so that my muramasa blade from bane would come in with other random equipment from my bane characters

That said, I played through both Crusaders and Wizardy 8 2 or 3 times each.

Also, i still load up bane every now and then (have to run a patch to slow down my pc so that it will run). Its fun to reminisce about when supercga graphics were the shiznit. Than again, I am an antique game afficionado. I probably have ~1500 old games, most with Manuals and Boxes. My wife hates it, but some of them are worth quite a bit of $$.

I can play strategy games through many times, while most other types of games I only play once or twice.
For fairly recent games:
Galactic Civilizations 2
Rome Total War

Old Classics:
Steel Panthers
Master of Orion
X-Com

Each of the following, dozens upon dozens upon dozens of times through:
Civilization
Civilization 2
Duke3d
Doom

10-12 times through:
Diablo
Warcraft 2
Quake
Doom2
Half-Life2

I'm sure I have 400+ hours on Oblivion. That's all I can think of right now...

Seems like turn-based strategy, real-time strategy, and RPG's rule for replayability. I guess that is no surprise given that they can have multiple endings and branching storyilines (or different maps/AI behavior in strategy games)

Surprised that a lot of people played FPS's multiple times; after the first play-through, I get bored (with the notable Doom I and II exception, along with CoD)

Soldier of Fortune II: Double Helix
Far Cry

These are the only games that get reinstalled on every build and get a play through almost every year.

Deus Ex is by far the sp game I have played the most. Upwards of 50+ times from beging to completion

It been years since it came out and I have yet to find a game that comes close to comparing to it.

Deus Ex (3 or more)
Baldur's Gate 1 & 2 (twice each with fighter and thief main)
GRAW
Solider of Fortune
Swat 4
Rainbow 6 1, 2 & 3
Morrowind
Medieval 2
HL1 + Opposing Force
Diablo II (like 30 times if you count different difficulties and characters)

I'd like to play a lot of other stuff over, but I never get to it like Bioshock, Stalker and Vampire: Bloodlines.

Deus Ex: Several times. Went through many variations of a combat JC Denton and a stealth JC Denton. Have tried going through without killing anybody but I cant do it.

Baldurs Gate 2: Once with each class of PC and now with multi-class PC's. I know this game a little too well.

Act of War: A few times.
Dawn of War and Expansions: Several times.

Disciples 2 Gold: All the campaigns twice. That might not sound like much, but its the equivalent of going through all the campaigns in HOMM 3 Platinum twice. Thats a LOT of hours invested in my brain being stressed.

Master of Orion 2: Have gone through about one hundred Huge Universe games.

Duke Nukem 3D: Probably 30 times.
Doom: The whole thing: 30 times.
Red Faction: A dozen times.

Morrowind: The main campaign: Twice, one fighter and one mage.
The whole world with all the side quests: Once. And that was enough for me.
Oblivion: Main campaign I only finished once. At that was excruciating.

Dungeon Keeper 1&2: About 8 times each.

I can think of more later.

EDIT:
Unreal 2: At least 6.
Serious Sam 1st and 2nd: 4 each.

Knights of the Old Republic 1&2: 10 each. Despite the relative lack of class distinction, they're just so darn fun to play.
Jedi Outcast & Academy: 6 times each.
Dark Forces: 5 times.

Unreal II
Serious Sam: The Second Encounter
Serious Sam II

Soon I will play through COD4 again. All I can say is "WOW!"


Console

Mario 64 (120 stars about 1/2 dozen times. Surprised nobody else has mentioned that one yet!)
Many others, been too long though.
