The Mass Effect series as a trilogy took more time out of my life than any other series other than Zelda. Dragon Age: Origins also gets an honorable mention.

That's another good one, also the Supreme Commander series has taken a good chunk of my time.

I played a lot of III.


Had to break out the old graph paper for III. Nothing worse than getting hit with darkness and a spin trap at the same time.

I forgot about graphing dungeons and notebooks filled with conversations with NPC's.

B3 was the last game I had to do that. Might have been the only one I had to use graph paper for the dungeons.

I guess from a $ per hour standpoint it would be:

Starcraft 1
Madden 99
Final Fantasy Tactics
Mass Effect 1
Disgaea 1

Fallout 3. Have a feeling GTA 5 will be the same way.

Starcraft 1 I can agree on and one map in particular, big game hunters.

I played Tetris 2 on NES regularly up until a few years ago. I still play Dynasty Warriors 4 on PS2 fairly often. I've got hundreds of hours in those games.

Game that I can think of with over 200 hours


I can't think of a single game I've played that much

However, here's my list:

Clash of Clans - Free
Mass Effect - $15
Deus Ex - $10
Dark Souls - $15
Skyrim - $15
Orange Box - $5

I have probably a half dozen others but those come to mind first based off value for what I paid.

I don't buy most games new and I've found a lot on eBay or when they have XBL sales.
