Games that gave you the most value for money?

£1.99 for S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow of Chernobyl and £2.99 for TF2.

I wish I could add Oblivion to that list but it just seems I can't get into it, no matter how much I want to...faces are just too damn ugly!
 
TFC - Free mod but spend thousand and thousands of hours on publics, clan games, skill maps, puzzle maps, I don't think there will ever be this much versatility in any game ever again. The HL1 engine is just so amazing, you can do almost anything with it. It may not be realistic by todays standards but it's simplicity was what lent itself so well to modding. The way you could move through it the character really felt like an extension of your body, not like todays games with ridiculously low FOVs, head bobbing, all kinds of smoothing, and just general clunkiness - all I get from these is a headache and motion sickness.

Nethack. For a start it's free, and then I spent several years playing it.

Then:

Dungeon Keeper/Deeper Dungeons
Diablo2
Morrowind
Oblivion

all with play time in the many hundreds of hours.

Honourable mentions to:

Doom and Doom 2
Dungeon Keeper 2

Company of Heroes & Supreme Commander - with skirmish modes and map packs for both games (along with the zillion downloadable units for SupCom), these games are always the first to be installed on any computer I own. I am not bothered about time spent against cost of games, I am basing my value for money on their replayability.
 
Fallout 2.

Still give it a run through whenever im bored of any current game.

Theres not any point in the entire game when i feel bored.
 
the original cs/hl. I bought HL for something like £5 :D and played so many mods for it it's silly. the original cs was easily in the 1000s of hours, add dod to that and mods alone I've played a lot of games from that £5 spend :)
 
I've sunk more hours in to Heroes of Might & Magic 3 than any other game, with my year of WoW coming in second.
 
Of full price games, definitely the orange box. That was packed full of awesome at an incredibly reasonable price.

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri which provided a hell of a lot of gameplay and I picked it up for £5 a while back.

And maybe Baldur's Gate 2 for just being incredibly good from start to finish.
