Non MMO, the game you have the most time played in that only cost you the initial purchase price. I hate the current 10-15 hours and you are done games.

Game that I can think of with over 200 hours:

Skyrim
Oblivion
Mass Effect 2
Dragon Age: Origins
Supreme Commander Forged Alliance

All Elder Scrolls games. Heck, probably played 200 hours and never went past the 2nd main story quest.

Borderlands 2 - Easily 100+ hours if you do all of the side quests.

I loved State of Decay, it is real cheap (like $20, but I can't really remember). It is on Xbox arcade. I got days worth of play out of it. It was a trial run for the developers who hopefully are gonna put out an upgrade, more polished version of something along the same lines. Whatever it is... Shut up and take my money!

Borderlands 1 and 2 each have ~150 hours.

Monster Hunter 3U is currently sitting at 350 hours.

Diablo 3 probably has a few hundred hours in it.

Mass Effect 2 has seen 3 playthroughs, so that is good for 60-80 hours or so.

Played the shite out of Phantasy Star Online back in the day (never played online, so I think it counts in this instance).

I have spent many, many nights on Warcraft III battle.net back in the day.

Smash Bros Melee has seen a good bit of action throughout the years as well.

San Andreas was an awesome game for a completionist. I think I owned every possible property by the end.

ETA: And taking over gang territory was awesome.

I loved some of the unrealistic stuff. Crashing a plane into a group of enemies and jumping out like 2 seconds before it hit the ground was epic.

Baldur's Gate II, I guess. I've played through that game more times than I can count.

I remember them, they were out around the same time as the earlier Ultima and D&D games. I played a lot of III.
