I think I bought Warcraft 3: the frozen throne three times. Partly because it's my favorite game ever, and also because for some reason, the disc is the least durable I've ever seen. I broke it twice just removing it from my computer. Same thing has happened with my friends' copies.

I've never bought a game twice solely because it's good. Although, in a sense I guess, because obviously if I do buy a game again it's because I still want it.
Two come to mind. I first bought Deus Ex on PS2, awful idea. Picked it up on Steam, much better. Also Morrowind, which I've bought about 4 times. The original game, the game again, the GOTY (all in disk form) then finally on Steam after I lost all those discs.

The Path and Alan Wake.

The Path cause it's brilliant, and Alan Wake because I played it on XBoX and it didn't grab me, but when it showed up on Steam it was at the right place and right time.

I've bought Starcraft: Broodwar in some form or another about 5 times. The CDs kept disappearing or breaking on me. I've also bought multiple copies of Diablo and Diablo II. Kinda funny considering how bad I rag on Blizzard games nowadays.
I am going to assume buying multiple copies to give gifts to friends doesn't count otherwise this list would be a mile long.

I bought Resident Evil 4 originally for the PS2, then a second time for the Wii when I still thought it was a relevant console.

I'm now considering picking it up on the PSN.

I own most of the games I bought on GOG on the original discs. DRM free updated copies of my favorite games that don't require a disk check are well worth the pittance they are sold for. I also own two copies of KOTOR 2 after disc 5 on one copy got scratched, I repurchased VtM:B on Steam while I still own the original and I still have X-Com on 1.44 floppies somewhere but it has been ages since I've even seen a floppy drive.

Why would you buy a game twice? That seems like a waste of money *looks at collection* oh poo.

Jumping Flash 2 (PSX/PSN)
DMC1-3/DMCHD
Prince of Persia (Steam/PS2)
and I'm probably going to rebuy Catherine for PS3.

Plants vs Zombies 3 times. Once for DS, once for Xbox and once for PC. I will probably get it for iPad.
Alan Wake twice, one for Xbox one for PC.

Edit: And Tales of Vesperia. The disc got damaged after my friend borrowed it once.

There are quite a few games I have multiple copies of, but most of them I didn't buy because the game was exceptional.

Some I did: Shadow of the Colossus (PS2, PS3), Ico (PS2, PS3), Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (PC, PS2, PS3), Metal Gear Solid 3 (PS2, PS3).

well, I did because I had to, but my Oblivion disc broke 2 times. So I had 3 copies. Damn XBox. Now I'm a PC gamer and I never have that problem again. Oh and I bought Oblivion for PC too.

That would make 4 copies total.
