It would be easier to post my never-ever-play-again list, which consists of F.E.A.R., Half-Life 2, Halo, Warcraft 3, and some random shareware crap. Everything else gets at least two or three playthroughs, if not many more.
What didn't you like about HL2 and FEAR? I mean, is it the usual snobbery around here or is it something worth discussing?

FEAR was fun the first time around but the complete linearity and lack of variety in gameplay ruined any chance of replayability. In Half-Life 2's case I always quit before Anticitizen One for mostly the same reasons. It (Half-Life 2) is a good game, but only for the first 2/3rds which is all I replay of it.

I hate the street war sections myself, but the Citadel always makes up for it IMO. ;)
As for FEAR not having any variety, that's a fair enough argument. Personally I seriously don't give a shit about it being the same fight over and over because I actually enjoy fighting the Replica forces. I particularly like doing 0-damage runthroughs, where I kill every last motherfucker in the room without taking a hit. Takes a lot of reloads but you start coming up with interesting strategies. Example would be late in the game when a black truck comes barrelling through the garage door. I always throw a mine right behind it as the soldiers hop out, then as it's in midair I shoot it. Turns 'em all to paste more often than not.

That reminds me: I really want to replay
Martian Dreams.

I enjoyed that one too, but I liked Savage Empire more.

That Morrowind GOTY DVD in my drawer looks damn attractive, calling me to give it a chance and finally run it for the FIRST time, but then I'm also repulsed by intimidating size of that world.

I guess you won't be going anywhere near Daggerfall then. :p

Gothic 2 Gold. The best action-RPG ever.

If I was happily unemployed I would go through last two TES games with a heartbeat, but
1) I don't have much time and patience for so long games as I used to around my 20.
2) The less if they don't have interesting characters and strong, appealing central storyline which would drive me on playing.
Oh, btw Gothic - loved the first one, but I left the second and I prolly never touch another Gothic title. Good reminder - I should replay Gothic 1 sometimes.
And Arx Fatalis. And whole Baldurs Gate Saga. After Fallout 2 that is... but not before I finally finish Icewind Dale.
