Skyrim, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, Left 4 dead 1 and 2 and Castle Crashers when it was dirt cheap. I'd mention Bioshock, but that was free. So Colon-D smiley face. I plan to buy Oblivion again this summer.
I bought Super Smash Bros twice (the original) and I somehow lost my copy of Metroid fusion so it became a number 1 priority to buy another copy, though I found it under a couch cushion later. I also bought fallout 3 twice, the second time was the game of the year with all the dlc and I bought New Vegas twice, once for ps3 and then later for pc with the dlc. I plan on buying Spec Ops: the Line a second time. I bought it on Steam for $15 so I could try it and now I want a ps3 copy partly for the sake having a physical copy to preserve and because I'd prefer it on a console
Certain Atari 2600/Arcade level games multiple times for DS, Cube, N64 (Pacman, Galaxia, etc.).
Got Ultima III for NES although I'd already beaten it on Commodore 64.
Gamecube came with Zelda 1 & 2, which I beat on NES, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask from N64 which I owned.
My Xbox 360 died so I repurchased for PS3 COD MW2 and Enslaved. My copy of Uncharted 2 was stolen, so I'll buy that ASAP. I beat it but want it for my collection. I'm a completest. I have 1 and 3 also.
ICO and Shadow of the Colossus are in a PS3 collection. Got it even though I already have Colossus for PS2.
I sold GTA 4 for PS3. I thought it meh. Then Steam had a sale cheap that included Liberty City Stories, so I got it. I look forward to playing with MODS.
I have Saints Row the Third for PS3. I bought it from Steam with all sorts of extras for only $12. It was worth it!
Friend gave me PC version of Oblivion even though I'd played it on 360. I prefer Skyrim.

When my first xbox red ringed and was off for repair, I bought Mass Effect 1 for PC to tide me over. I also recently bought Rollercoaster Tycoon again on gog.com because I couldn't find my original disk and it was on sale.
The one I know i've bought twice is Castlevania Lords of Shadow. I beat the game once, had no use for it, then traded it in. I had no idea there was DLC so I bought it again for the DLC, and ended up playing it twice the way through to play the DLC.
Looking at this thread, the strategy of making people re-buy the same product over and over has been a resounding and astounding success.
No wonder we get so few new releases and see rehashes of the same content over and over, since we're buying the old stuff as is anyhow!
That really pinpoints the reason why sales are such an awful metric in the game industry-- much as it is in music. Many dollars, pitiful marketplace.

Oblivion.
I already had it on 360, but I wanted mods.
Well, Fable, in a way.
Since Lost Chapters in mostly Fable all over again.
Some games that might have been in multiple humble bundles.

Every Bethesda game after Daggerfall, minus Skyrim.
Morrowind: Bought it, it died, bought another copy.
Oblivion: Bought it, realized getting GOTY edition would be cheaper than getting expansions piecemeal, bought GOTY.
Fallout 3: Bought it, realized getting GOTY edition would be cheaper than getting expansions piecemeal, bashed myself on the head for falling twice on the same mistake, bought GOTY.
Skyrim: Bought once, am now waiting for the realization that GOTY will be cheaper than getting expansions piecemeal.
Also, I think I've bought about 5 copies of the original Mass Effect. This game is pretty unlucky for me, I've managed to destroy the disk in every way from it melting due to nearby objects catching fire (really) to my dog eating it to simply scratching it.
Batman Arkham City. Didn't realize I had to upgrade to XP service pack 3 to play it, so I bought another copy having decided my first didn't work. Boy did I feel stupid that day.
Looking through my game collection, and for whatever strange, strange reason, I seem to own two copies of the first Harry Potter movie tie-in game. I have no idea what those are doing there. I don't think I've ever played either, and I don't recall buying them.
