I'd say the only games i bought this gen that were really worth it

NBA 2k9

GTAIV

Fight Night Round 4

Halo 3

Fallout 3

I still play these games.....

Games that were good but more worth a rent. I finished them and didnt go back. I should have rented them and just finished them instead of purchasing...

Gears

Ghostbusters

Bioshock

NBA Live 09

Madden

Mass Effect

Ninja Gaiden 2

I think that's everything i purchased this gen.

Street Fighter IV - Close to clocking in 200 hours on this game. By far the most I've put into any game this gen. Resistance 2 - Awesome campaign that I ran through twice (I never run a FPS campaign more than once if that), awesome 60 man competitive and godly 8 man co op. It's like 3 games in one. Metal Gear Solid 4 - This game made two of my friends pick up PS3's CoD4 - ALL of my friends have this game. Second most hours I've put into a PS3 game. Killzone 2 - This is the FIRST game this gen that I can honestly say can compete with my beloved Halo. It does a couple things better IMO. Blazblue - Where did this game come from? Limited edition with Blu-ray tutorial for 60 dollars, it's my new online addiction. Unreal Tournament 3 (PS3) - You can mod in over 200+ maps for free, splitscreen, bots, modded characters (Samus Aran andMaster Chief on the PS3?) countless amount of gamemodes with more coming...for $15? Slap yourself if you don't have this game. The Legoland map alone is worth the purchase.

For SP its easily Oblivion (over 350 hours) Fallout 3 (100 hours without DLC)

MP its RSV2 and KZ2. which both I've poured numerous hours into their MP and SP modes.

For all time it has to be CS. I've been playing since 1.5 which I got for free. And CSS which I've been playing since it came out in 04 and still play to this day.

5,600 hours = 233 days, that's still a hell of a lot of time it's like 3/4 of one of those years.

Quick calculations indicate to me that this represents 16% of the total time within those 4 years. That's a LOT of time.

Wii - Galaxy I guess, I barely played it after I got all the stars though, but it's the only Wii game I think is worth the 50$. PS3 - COD4 and MGS4 PC - Left 4 Dead, Mass Effect and Orange Box (got it for 10 bucks on Steam one weekend, best deal i've ever had for anything)

LBP, Killzone2, Uncharted, Warhawk, COD4navstar29

I know you like uncharted from your sig but seriously it was not a good value imo.

For me it's mass effect, World of Warcraft, Orange box, Street fighter 4, SSBB, Mario Kart wii, left 4 dead and GTA 4.

in the future it looks like Dragon Age, Starcraft 2, D3 and Starwars:TOR
