    During the first year of my sons life, I would play into the very early hours Diablo 2. I had found many communities who were as much a fan as I was at the time. It evenm led to some currency being exchanged for the purpose of reaching a certain level, or gaining a item that I just wasntable to attain, no matter how many Baal or Cow runs I did.

    From time to time Ill be reminded of the rush I got at 3am in the morning - mostly due to being exhausted looking after my son - leveling a charatcer higher than ihad before. It was a proud (gaming) moment.

    Now Ill reinstall it now and again and waste a few hours messing around with a character, trying new builds or a type of weapon meant for another class. Ive even considered trying to attain a speed run record for it , as it is the game i could replay over and over again.

    Resident Evil 4. An amazing anthology game. The graphics are good until now, and their gameplay and storyline will forever be marked as excellent. The game plan is very well done, I feel immersed in the game environment ... And it has a certain taste of childhood, because it was in the best period of the beginning of my adolescence that I started to play it. So it's very nice for me. Whenever I can, I play it again. Whether on the computer or on the Playstation 2, it is sure to be fun for many hours.

    I've seen a few people mentioning it before as well, but mine has to be the entire The Sims franchise. As soon as the first The Sims came out, I was sold. Ever since then I've been following the games and playing each new release. I love the realism the game offers but also how it mixes it with things that would never be possible in real life. This seems to be what draws me to the game so much. You can create any type of life you want, from the most realistic to the most ridiculous fantasy you could imagine.

    The building aspect of the game is also one of my favorites. I love building all types of houses and decorating them, the game gives you a lot of freedom in designing exactly what you have in mind.

    For me it's usually Call of Duty or Phantasy Star Online. Even though I don't play PSO all that often anymore since closing my own PSO server, I always end up venturing back into it at some point for quite awhile. It's one of those games you don't stop playing no matter how old it gets. :)

    For me, the game that I like most is Resident Evil 5. I love this game because it is somekind of terrifying and it is so addictive. There is a time that I played from 8:00 pm to 12:30am and I hadn't got tired of it so I think my best game is Resident Evil 5.

    I also like GTA SanAndreas and Call of Duty since they are captivating games
    and I also like their gameplay and their graphics.

    Mine's Heroes & Generals. Have over 8k hours in the game and played for 3+ years. Even though it has a bunch of issues, I somehow always come back to it.

    I will always throw on Farming Simulator 17 or 18. You can just turn off your brain and relax for hours virtually farming. It's about as realistic as you can get without actually getting on a farm.

    When i play with friends online we always go back either to classic Blizzard games like Starcraft or Diablo or to the only and one MMORPG games founder and inventor ,Ultima Online..the only and the one,still unsurpassed after decades.If you never tried Ultima Online i suggest you give it a try,what came before it was child's play(made for childs indeed).

    It's incredibile how those games still offer pure and fresh fun after years.

    The game I keep coming back to would have to be Minecraft. There's just something so soothing about building things in Sandbox mode, without all the hassle and fuss of needing to survive. Though the normal settings for the game does provide some thrill, I prefer to flex my creative muscles and try to see how far I can push myself when it comes to designing things.

    Stardew Valley is a close contender, though! I've always been a farm of the Harvest Moon series, and Stardew Valley did a lot of things right with its creative concepts.

    I never quite got into Stardew Valley, but I love the Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons games. I always end up coming back to them. Even though the farming aspect it's great, I really love building relationships and friendships with the townspeople!

    When it comes to classic games that I would go back to is always Super Mario bros! It has been there since my childhood up to my high school and i always rescued the princess on every world.

    Now that I’m aged I would always want to play plants vs zombie.. I don’t know but it’s the only games that didn’t confuse me unlike the other battlefield games that’s why I like it.

    The game I always seem to go back to is Minecraft. I can drown myself in that game. I don't really have to think to hard about what I'm doing at most points so that's relaxing. It's a great creative outlet and let's face it the enemies are a fun way to relieve some stress.

    Skyrim! It is always Skyrim. Sometimes I don't even play the game honestly. I'll just sit there in the world of Tamriel and just enjoy the environment and the wildlife, which gets especially immersive when you bring mods into the world. It is seriously baffling how much replayability there is within that game. I own 4 copies of that game! Two on Xbox 360, one on PS3, and another on PC.

    I think I'm gonna go play some now actually...

    It used to be World of Warcraft. The greatest game of all time. It just made my standards so high that I could not play anything else, no matter how hard I try. I wouldn't want to know, if anybody could tell me now, how many hours I have spent inside of that incredible world.

    Luckily, I have a family now and other responsibilities, so I cannot commit myself to it, and there is no playing World of Warcraft without full commitment. But you never know what is life going to bring :) If I ever go back to gaming, it is going to be WoW.

    It would be Bullet force.
    It has decent graphics and it isn't pay to win. I would recommend you guys to try it out. I think I run back to it because I am bored a lot and this is a fast pace FPS game so i love it.

    I can’t remember how many times I deleted Temple Run on my mobile phone and iPad. I recently installed it again on my iPad and started playing again. I don’t know why I always go back playing it and why do I keep on deleting it in the first place. Temple Run is basically just running and getting coins and maybe that’s the reason I keep on playing it. I don’t really have to be really good at thinking how to defeat my enemies. No stress and for me I play games to entertain myself not to get stressed out because I did not get VIP.

    Skyrim is the game I always end up reinstalling due to its modding community. I think the open world nature of the game can be seen as a motivating factor too. What happens is that from time to time I remember a mod that I didn't get to install in the previous walk-through, so I decide to reinstall the game to try that mod only to find other three mods that would make a good combo with the first one. This process goes on until I get to a list of approximately 100+ installed mods. Sometimes I think that I'm not playing Skyrim, but rather I'm having fun micro managing all these mods, trying to make them fit together like pieces of LEGO.

    I personally always go back to play Mario games, specifically Mario Galaxy or Mario Sunshine. I find these games to be very easy to just sit down and play, since the two games aren't focused on a story. There also isn't much dialogue in the games, making it very easy to immediately play. With the two games, you can also go to whatever level or stage you would like. The levels are also a decent length, being not too short or long to complete. I also find the stages to be very enjoyable and bright, such as the tropical levels in Mario Sunshine. The gameplay allows these games to be very enjoyable while playing by myself. All of these reasons make it easy for me to play the following games again, and cause me to always go back to them.
