Super Mario Galaxy

Helps that they included the Luigi mode, but realistically, there were only 5 or 6 new bits of content (the shadow stages) in that mode. Shows how much I loved that game. Heck, even Yahtzee loved it.

Fallout 3. I find the game very gripping to me. I cant help but love it for some reason. I'm not sure what it is, but I am sure I'm not complaining at all.

Loads of different RPGs, because i wanted to see what the other classes could do; a lot of the time those playthroughs would get abandoned pretty quickly though when i went to play some multiplayer or another game instead.

Pretty sure i played through gears of war 1 back to back, once solo and then in co-op, because i had no other games that were co-op

Most, if not all, of the Bioware games I've played. Also a few of the Final Fantasys.

I rarely do in non RPGs but Ninja Gaiden was an exception. I loved that game and started again on hard after finishing it on normal, not sure if I ever finished that playthrough though, that game was punishing at the best of times.

Alice madness returns. It didn't leave the Ps3 until I got the platinum trophy.

Also just today I booted up a new game+ after beating Ico for the first time.

I mostly replay games immediately after the first play that aren't too story heavy, which is odd because I LOVE story in my games. Sure I'll replay a story heavy game again (See: Any Metal Gear Solid, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Half Life etc) but it's mostlythe games with compelling gameplay that make me want to just jump right on in again.

Mirror's Edge... four times.

And thus it became my favorite game of all time.
Damn, I really thought I'd be the first to say this one. No one here seems to like Mirror's Edge. I played it about 3 times in a row, simply because it was so much fun and to squeeze as much out of the world as possible, because the story doesn't really give you that much. I'm hopefull for a sequel.

Portal 2, I played the commentary more as an excuse to see the story again than anything else.
This, for this reason. Then I played it a third time right after that! Damn, I love this game.

Fallout 3, Oblivion, Morrowind, Daggerfall, Deus Ex, Deus Ex Human Revolution. Most of those have extensive choice mechanics so that would explain it.

Mass Effect 1 and 2. Currently replaying my primary character (who was my second created one) to make sure her story is ready for ME3. Also, inFamous (because I could easily do it on hard), every Ratchet & Clank bar the first one (not completed, stupid minigames) and Quest for Booty, probably a few others I can't recall at the moment.

I also replayed DA:O before I completed the first playthrough, at a mere 27 hours in. Because Alastair+me playing a melee rogue on normal difficulty is so absurdly easy it wasn't fun.

Batman: Arkham City. New Game Plus was calling...!

Also, most recent Valve games (for the audio commentaries), and Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

As much as I consider ME1 my favorite game ever, I didn't immediately restart. The end is so satisfying. But...
Chrono Cross is first one that comes to mind. Loved the New Game+ changes.

Alrighty then...
Metal Gear Solid 4: For virtue of it being the first game I had on PS3, as well as being totally freakin' sweet

Bioshock: Loved the story, gameplay, basically everything, but had to play it as an evil bastard. So much love for that game.

Crysis 2: It was brilliant, but short as shit, needed more.

That's pretty much all the ones I can think of at the moment.
P.s. First post, woo hoo

My own guilty pleasure, WET. the game was over all pretty bad, but the unlockable difficulty was AMAZING. My main problem with wet was that the enemies took so long to kill that your acrobatics got quickly repetitive, but the new difficulty (I forget the name) made the enemies die in one or two shots, so it only took one or two acrobatic stunts to kill about 5 guys, which was more exciting than killing one per powerslide. again. and again. and again. THe difficulty was maintained by severely reducing the number of shots you can take, only 4-5 at best. I found it more engaging to have a high excitement 30-60 second gunfight then a contest to see whos trigger finger got tired more.

Yeah, there are a few...

Half-life 2, Unreal (the original), Dead Space 2, Mass Effect 1 + 2, most CoD campaigns (maybe because they're so short and ADD-infused you have to play them more than once to understand the plot, but oh well), Army of Two with a friend (bring on the flame war, gents!), inFAMOUS, Resistance 3, Sonic Adventure 1 + 2, Bionic Commando (I'm still waiting for that flame war, snap to it)

I'm sure there are a few others, but those ones stand out to me

Mirrors Edge, one of my fave games EVAR :D
Also, as a perfectionist, though you can't start again on the same account, I went back in the Professor Layton games and found all of the puzzles and hint coins.
