Games I've Completed More Than Three Times

by snide

I'm fairly skittish with video games when it comes to finishing them. With games coming out every week I tend to move on to the newest greatest thing before completing the task at hand. With that said it's extremely rare for me to actually enjoy a game enough that I actually go back and replay it. Here's a couple that I can remember from over the years. 
 
This is an incomplete list that I'm assembling purely from memory. More to add later.

Showing 1-10 of 16 items

Super Mario Bros. 3

1. Super Mario Bros. 3

Over and over my friends. This game consumed me as a kid. I remember playing through the entire game day after day.

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

2. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Not much of an achievement considering how short the campaign is, but what a ride!

Indigo Prophecy

3. Indigo Prophecy

This one never took off like it should have. I break it out every year like a favorite movie, looking for details I may have missed.

Half-Life

4. Half-Life

For a good year or two after Half-Life there was nothing really to compare to the game as far as scripted action went. That meant you ended up replaying the game to get that same sort of adrenaline.

Icewind Dale II

5. Icewind Dale II

Easily the game I've replayed the most out of the Infinity Engine classics. While you'll get to know the dialog of Baldur's Gate II fairly quickly, you'll never have the same fights in IW2 twice.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

6. The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

It's weird, even though I loved the combat improvements to Oblivion I never finished that game. Morrowind though I played through multiple times. It felt like a bigger, more believable world.

The Temple of Elemental Evil: A Classic Greyhawk Adventure

7. The Temple of Elemental Evil: A Classic Greyhawk Adventure

Like IW2 it's just really easy to need that fix for this game's style of combat. There's nothing else like it this side of Fallout and when there's slow times I always broke it out.

StarCraft

8. StarCraft

The game still stands up. While I never finished WC2, Starcraft always had me coming back.

Sid Meier's Civilization

9. Sid Meier's Civilization

Does this one even need an explanation? I played and replayed through tons of the Civ franchise.

Star Control II

10. Star Control II

Weirdly played this one on a 3DO system rather than a PC. That didn't stop me from wasting an entire summer with it's open space world.
