Resident Evil 4...for Gamecube is like the only game that i can continually play and love. i play with all different weapons, try to do it bare and just keep playing and not even get into new games because i don't want to take the time and learn.

i just have a fix to play and pop it in and go.

Mario 3 for NES. Played the hell out of it when it first came out. I think i finished it ten times

All* of the Marios, Sonics, and TMNTs dozens of times.

*all meaning the ones on on NES, SNES, and Genesis.

RE4 was the first game that came to mind...just a really nice variety of things to do and see in that game. I probably finished it 4-5 times on gamecube and AT LEAST 10 on Wii (the far superior version).

Other games that I played through a bunch of times: Wipeout XL, Twisted Metal 2, Space Megaforce, Ratchet and Clank 2 & 3, Zelda Link to the Past, Super Metroid, GBA/DS Castlevanias, pick a Mario...others I'm sure.

If you've finished the original Ninja Turtles game on NES, I applaud you!

For me, probably the NES Mario games or Mike Tyson's Punch Out.

Oh yeah that game was brutal. I've only beat it a few times actually. When I think of TMNT on NES I think of the two beat 'em ups and forget the original abomination.

The only game I can recall actually finishing twice (that have a story and a finite ending) is Final Fantasy Tactics. Three times, I think, with 100+ hours on each play.

I could see RE4, I really enjoyed that on the Wii.
I want to replay Growlanser Generations on the PS2, and I will replay Bioshock. I'm usually not too much into replaying, I can't/won't recommit those hours, and I'm usually ready to play something else. On the flip side, I have played some games for 2-5 hours then realized I don't really like it or I"m not having fun, so I'll quit, maybe come back later, maybe not; I won't make myself play (or finish) games that aren't fun.
I'm on the last story mission of Saints Row 2, but the last four times I've tried it it's frozen up/crashed on me.

Finished the most times? Easily:

Final Fantasy 6...(or 3 as it was released in America). I try to beat that at least once a year. I still get chills in the Opera scene.

Baseball Stars or Super Tecmo Bowl.

Dead Rising.

Because hacking through hordes of zombies with a chainsaw in a well-designed shopping mall is f'ing FUN.

i beat final fantasy 7 twice.

Shining Force 3, episode 1. Beat it like 8 times (plus another time when I got to the final boss severely underpowered and had to restart). Absolutely love that game and would kill for translations of the other two episodes. As I said in the last sheep game, I miserably failed at trying to learn Japanese so I could play them.

The most:


This generation:


I did!

Final Fantasy VII - I'm on my fourth go-around with that game. A close second is the Legend of Zelda.

I don't complete so many games these days, but Phantasy Star 3 (to get each ending) and Star Control 2 (cos it's so damn great) would be the ones I've completed the most.

As far as beating a game it would have to be Mass Effect at 4 times (3 good and 1 evil) so far. As far as 100% I'd have to say Fallout 3. Need 1 more achievement to get the full 72, which I should do this weekend. Played most if not all of the side quests and unmarked side quests. Discovered every location except that one vault covered in radiation, I'm still trying to make it there.

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, love it!

Super Mario 2..... First game i beat so i loved playing it

Not counting the Mario's, Sonics, or 2D fighters like Street Fighter 2..I'd say Super Metroid. My friend and I would sit down and play through the entire game in one sitting...multiple times a week during that summer.

Diablo II: Lord of Destruction

Metal Gear Solid (PS).

Played that at least once a year for about 5 years in a row.

Probably Contra.

To those talking about Resident Evil 4, I tried and tried but I am NOT good at that game. I walk into the village and I'm slaughtered. After thirty tries, I was done with that game.

My friend "beat" Duck Hunt when he shot the dog on level 99. True story.

Older game: Super Mario Bros.
Newer game: Half-Life 2

what weapons are you using? with hordes, a good shotgun and grenades (green) work well and are fun as hell to use in those situations. if it is the very first village encounter, you have to go into the 2^nd house on the left i believe and get the free shotgun on the 2^nd level.
