Video Games you can('t) live without
Since everyone seems to have movies they can't live without (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=577099) and can. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=577197)
I'd like to know what video games you can('t) live without?
My list:
Can't live without:
Civilization 3 and 4
Most of the Legend of Zelda series
Super Brothers 3
Knights of the Old Republic 1&2, Jedi Knight series(really any star wars game expect for the RTSs)
Mechwarrior 3 and 4(and their various expansions)
Most of the Sim titles(sim ant, simlife and the like not The Sims)
Almost any thing that is Age of _(wonders,kings,mythology,etc)
Minesweeper on really slow days
Can
(almost) Any game based on a movie/tv/book series it seems the better the movie the worst the video game too.
any game with superman as a main/title character
The Sims and its ripoffs and dozens of sequels/expansions
So my fellow Nationstaters whats on your list?

Can't live without Oblivion. I gave it to my buddy so that girls wouldn't see it at my house... but I still go over and play it all the time :p
Can definitely live without those Japanimation games. Y'know. Like Naruto or Pokemon or whatever. They can take their spiky hair and doe-eyes elsewhere.
Edited for an off-color joke that wasn't as funny when I re-read it.

I can live without all games, they are not a necessity.
But however if I had to choose some games I would have to say:
Call of Duty (4 & 5)
The Sims 2 (although I don't play it much anymore)
Phoenix Write
Hotel Dusk
And there are possibly more but I cannot think of them at the moment.

The Total War series - possibly the best Strategy games of all time. Empire: Total War will be the best game ever, and anyone who dissagrees with me is a nincompoop.
Metal Gear Solid series, especially Snake Eater.
Grand Theft Auto IV
Mario Kart DS
Civilization IV
Kingdom Hearts series

Minesweeper. One day I shall conquer the Intermediate level. I shall then use the resulting feelings of marginally increased self-worth to inspire me to world domination. Or to work out how to play that strange game called "Hearts"...

I've never won a game of Minesweeper... Ever... Probably has to do with the fact I don't try, but yeah... :(

In the 25+ years I've been playing video games, I sold exactly one game. Does that answer your question?

Freecell is awesome, I played the hell out of it, won many games, and the whole time I had no idea what i was doing. I still don't.

I think I'm starting to figure out what I'm doing, but every time I try to explain it to myself, I get confused. :D

As someone who has played games since I was four and see them as an art-form... I don't need them to live. That said, always enjoy a good game of FIFA or Civilization.

right now I am enjoying the wonderful GTA rip-off Saints Row. Just a f'n awesome game.
In the 25+ years I've been playing video games, I sold exactly one game. Does that answer your question?
What game would that be?
