What game/games do you always come back to?

As in which games do you always go back to when your tired of playing new titles or just fed up of other games.

For me it's always Crusader Kings 2. It's hard to get tired of this game because its a game you could play through 100 times and no playthrough will be the same.

Football Manager is another though not as much for me anymore as i haven't enjoyed the newer iterations as much as i did with previous ones.

As for multiplayer games it's usually Battlefield or Team Fortress. I think Team Fortress especially is always good for a laugh and never gets too boring.

Football manager and fifa every year. Fifa is just handy to pickup for a quick game and fm takes weeks off my life every year and I love it still.

I'll go through phases of overplaying then but always come crawling back.

Without fail it's Final Fantasy VII. Still one of my favourite games many years on.

Oblivion is one, though I'd go back to Skyrim more and more as mods improve.

Lastly, and I'm not even slightly ashamed to admit it. I still play Pokemon games when I'm in the mood. Either on my phone with an emulator, a DS and sometimes an old old old GameBoy advance.

Counter-Strike

Dave_The_Sheep · 25-04-2014 09:28PM

In recent times, Skyrim.

Over the past decade, Medieval Total War 2 and Civ 2.

I guess for me it would be Duke3D thanks to it's modding community which is still active to this day.

I've got a 75% voucher for it on steam. Wasn't going to bother but is it worth picking up keeping in mind I've never really played duke nukem games?

Well it is almost 20 years old so keep that in mind.

Have you played the likes of Doom and Wolf 3D?

If you enjoyed them them you should like it.

For me it is my favourite FPS game of all time, it redefined the genre, and it felt so unlimited at the time.

Diablo franchise. I always come back to it. Mostly D2 Lod and Diablo 3 ( in whatever state it is )

Terarria - always come back to that one. What can I say, sense of discovery and digging is addictive.

GalCiv 2. Just finished a campaign there the other day.

ShadowHearth · 26-04-2014 12:44AM

I will add any Civ games to this thread too. You can never say no to a little bit of cocaine! :pac:

ryan101 · 26-04-2014 12:46AM

Tetris, minesweeper, space invaders, galaxians, pac man, manic miner, and bruce lee

CiDeRmAn · 26-04-2014 07:29AM

Robotron, Tempest 2000, Rage Racer, Katamari Damacy, Super Mario Bros 3, Parodius (I have it for the Famicom, Snes, Gameboy, PC Engine and Playstation.) and Virtua Racing, I have that on Megadrive in all three regions, 32X, Saturn and PS2.
Nearly forgot! Need for Speed and Starblade on my 3DO, love those two.
And those are the games I keep coming back to.

thegame983 · 26-04-2014 01:07PM

I usually play the original Deus Ex around once every two years. Favorite game of all time

The Pheasant2 · 26-04-2014 01:56PM

Age of Empires II, Total Annihilation: Kingdoms, Pokemon Yellow, Blue and Crystal on the GBC, Fallout 3, Skyrim, Fight Night Round 4, Call of Duty World at War (the only one I really go back to)

Fakman87 · 26-04-2014 02:19PM

For me it was Football Manager from 2005-2010.

I had to quit because it was too addictive. I once played as Napoli manager for 66 seasons!

Honestly, it was like heroin.

runawaybishop · 26-04-2014 02:21PM

Populous: the beginning, dungeon keeper 2, stronghold crusaders.

Oh my God! This is what I looked like when I read that: :eek:

I think 5 seasons was my maximum with Fulham back in the day.

Sierra Oscar · 26-04-2014 03:03PM

If I want a real blast to the past then I will fire up Command & Conquer. It is one of those games that I still replay every few years.

Haha I know!!!

I had the best scouting system in the world so every year I would have the new Messi in my youth team.

I just got sucked into it.

Skerries · 26-04-2014 03:10PM

I keep playing Chaos:Battle of the Wizards on whatever platform will take it so was happy when Gollop announced his Kickstrter

Thargor · 26-04-2014 03:31PM

No matter how many times I finish it or how often I get sick of it I always end up firing up FTL again for a quick blast that turns into a 4 hour run, must have finished it about 20 times and then he goes and releases the Advanced Edition.

cloud493 · 26-04-2014 08:36PM

Mario games. I must have played through mario 64 at least 20 times by now.

I remember back in the day, the challenge was to get 70 stars from one night's rental

Loved Laser Squad on the Spectrum and the Rebelstar games, play them on emulators now, used to play Laser Squad Nemesis online (badly) and Rebelstar Tactical Command on the Gameboy Advance.

AllthingsCP · 26-04-2014 09:42PM

Crusader kings 2. Hearts of Iron 3. Rome total war. Star war phantom menace. And weird love for dynasty warriors

HomelessMidge · 26-04-2014 09:46PM

Fallout and command and conquer series. Both great series!

XCom and Terror from the Deep on the PC and PS, you're only man.
Gollop is a genius.
Try Ghost recon on the 3ds next

What game/games do you always come back to?
