Games you never grow tired of

You've had them for years. You've played them enough times to make somebody sick. You know them front to back. And yet... somehow, something about them keeps drawing you back. These are the games you'd want with you on that proverbial desert island, because they always entertain you. They're... Games You Never Grow Tired Of(TM)!

I will always be up for another race in Diddy Kong Racing. Both the original and the remake, though both have their pluses and minuses. Even if I can make it around the tracks in times that makes T.T. green with envy, I always seem to want to come back for another lap around the tracks.

For less multiplayer-oriented things, there will always be a time and place in my Game Cube (err, Wii) for Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. I don't mind playing through that game over and over again, because I'm always discovering things I've forgotten, and it's always giving me new reasons to smile. Plus, addictive mini-games, man.

Those are only a few of mine. How about y'all?

Rise Of Legends, F Zero GX, Dragon Ball Z Budokai 2, Team Fortress 2, to name a few.

I second the love for The Thousand Year Door. It has been my all-time favorite game since I got it for Christmas in 2004. I also never get tired of Super Smash Bros Brawl.

TTYD for me too. After I finished Super Paper Mario, I never played it again.

Sonic Unleashed, for me. Two years after the Xbox360 version was released, I'm still playing it every bit as extensively as I have when I first got the game.

Team Fortress 2.

I just started what must be my... 4th or 5th playthrough of Super Paper Mario. That isn't to say that I haven't played the other two extensively. The Metroid Prime games... Including the Trilogy versions, I've played the first one at least 8 times, the second one about 7 times, and the third about 7.

Super Mario Galaxy. Even after three years, it still outclasses the rest. Great controls, brilliant level design, a great soundtrack, it has everything.

Super Smash Brothers, definitely. It's fun and it makes me feel good because I've gotten good enough to not look like a moron at tournaments. Probably.

If my computer lagged less and I played a better Pyro I would never get tired of TF 2.

Call Of Duty.

Yes, I said it.

Fire Emblem

Legend Of Zelda Ocarina Of Time and Majoras Mask

Also seconding all the Paper Mario love. Those games are awesome!

Fire Emblem 7 and 8...Sadly I lost them...FUCK.

I never get bored of Persona 3. Right now I'm on my first play of P 3 P, which is in total my third run through the game.

Also Blaz Blue.

I do love Smash, but strangely, it's not one of my multiplayer favorites.

SSB? Huh. I'd disagree, it's better with friends.

• SSB
• Megaman Battle Network 3
• Paper Mario, as many other people have mentioned
• Gotcha Force
• The Kingdom Hearts series (which I am replaying right now, actually)
• Crash Bandicoot series (PS 1 Era)
• Spyro series (PS 1 Era)
• GUMMI SHIPS! I know I already mentioned KH but KH 2 Gummi Ships are so god damn addicting!

I think that's about it.

Resident Evil 4, Persona 4, and Bioshock to name some of the big ones.

Super Mario Kart, Super Mario Bros.

Persona 4 and Unreal Tournament.

Thief. Stealing stuff never gets old.

I get tired of The Battle For Wesnoth. But I always seem to get untired of it.
