Apparently, quite a few members here have beaten their favorite game/s dozen times at least, on few occasions I've seen that number go as far as 30 times or more. How's that even possible? I mean, how does it not get dull at one point?

No matter how great the game is, even if it has a huge replay value, quite some time needs to pass for me to give another go at it, thus my next playthrough is as fresh and nostalgic as possible. Unless I don't have a real choice I'll always go with new experience over old one. With that being said, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay is a game I've beaten most times so far, eight, if my memory serves me right. No even my all time favorite game comes close to that (Final Fantasy IX, only three times with several halfway walkthroughs). Got it along with my at that time new PC, needless to say I played it to death.

How often do you replay your favorite games? Which game have you beaten most times (choose another one next to Final Fantasy, if your first choice is Final Fantasy that is)?
