There are very few games I go back and play. I tend to move on once I have completed the main storyline. I am the type of gamer that tends to play for novelty. I like new story elements, new levels, new weapons, etc. Once I have seen all those things that a game has to offer my inclination is to move on to something else. There is a rare game that keeps me coming back (COD4, Rock Band, etc), but if a game tends to be story-driven it gets its once through and that's it.
If I didn't have the disposable income that I do, this might be different. As it stands though, I tend to have more disposable income than time and therefore focus on getting the maximal time to entertainment value from my games. That peak value tends to be on the 1st playthrough, the rest is fluff.
Forgot to mention on my original post: I NEVER trade in my games. 2 reasons: A) I like the shelf full of fantastic games and B) I don't want to support the industry leeches and their used games business.
