With the number of games coming out increasing every year its very easy to play a game for two weeks or so and then move on to the next big release. However what games (if any) do you keep coming back to year after year? You know the ones that are about more than just the latest graphics or features!?

Although I don't have as much time as I use to these are the classics I play over and over again still to this day:

Deus Ex
Mafia
Civ 4
Alpha Centauri: Alien Crossfire

edit: feel free to mention console games as well :).

Must admit I'm pretty impressed, I didn't think many people would go back and play older games in this day and age. I guess its just that you don't read about it much on here, only the latest and greatest games of the month!

Interesting so many of them are single player experiences, I guess your kind of forced to go where the community goes with multi player games.

Sorry but I wouldn't call any of those timeless, except for Civ IV. I've tried playing most of those and other so called classics after buying them cheap and pretty much all of them show their age quite badly.

Isn't that a bit like saying only new movies are any good?

For me at least I keep returning to those games as in the areas that count they still haven't been bettered. The freedom and story of Deus Ex, The depth of Civ 4, Alpha Centauri and the combat of Mafia etc etc.

Sure some games don't stand up as good today but if so then perhaps the game originally relied on graphics too much in the first place. On the best of the best games gameplay should always shine through :).

Will Diablo 2 still be played when Diablo 3 is out? I wouldn't call it timeless yet unless we return to it still.

I'd have thought so. I mean people still play Doom 1/2 even though 3 is out! Counterstrike 1.6 rather than source etc. Newer dosn't always mean better Deus Ex "2" I'm looking at you! lol.
