Age of Empires III is my current time-waster.
It keeps drawing me back. It’s kind of creepy. I think “I’m done with this”, but then about 8 months later I pick it up and think “MUST. PLAY. NOW.”.
I’m also amazed at how good it is for a game of the XP era. I keep thinking it’s from the Windows Vista/7 times.
But in several weeks I’ll put it away again, so I can’t call it my #1 game.

Star Wars Battlefront 2 is the game I keep coming back to. Every time i play something crazy or hilarious happens.
Sim City 4.
Best game… Ever… for me…
It was the first time I enjoyed adding stuff to a game…
… after that I ‘modded’ wesnoth, by simply changing some xml-like text documents containing the unit data (It was a tactical kind of game… totally loved it)
… and then I modded Word of Goo… I created so called ‘Addins’ 
… and in that community I found a game made with game maker, which brought me, well, to game maker (and programming in general)
Awesomestuff
I think I only really like games, when I have some kind of relationship with them (don’t worry. I’m not having that kind of relationships with games 
), like creating mods, or simply showing me how cool it is to be creative with making stuff for games.
Borderlands 2 has me in an iron grip, 260 hours clocked and counting (damned Steam, now it is visible how much time I waste on gaming). I’ve spent 90 euros on it for now (30 for the main game which was discounted even, 10 for 2 minor upgrade packs, 20 for 2 extra characters and 30 for content DLCs because I did not buy the season pass) and it is going to be 100 with the last upcoming DLC. My god, I absolutely adore this game.
But because it is an FPS I don’t really count it as a Game (capital G). My favorite Game still is Fallout 2. If I go back to the simpler gaming times on the Commodore Amiga, I’d probably have to nominate Dungeon Master as my favorite Game ever.

215 hours down the Borderlands 2 hole for me. I normally dont think much of FPS’s, but I looove this one. I like melee in FPS’s even less, but playing Krieg is endless fun – I find myself laughing maniacally in real life as I slice through groups. And what isn’t fun about playing someone who powers up by setting himself on fire? I normally detest multiplayer, but now I never want to play with less than four. The seamless jump-in jump-out nature of the multiplayer seems to take so much of the pressure off, the culture of profanity-screaming children I see in so many other games has so far been totally absent.
It’s not really even a hugely innovative FPS, it’s just that they cranked up to 11 all the knobs labelled “Fun”

Come to think it. I still play Snake and Bounce on mom’s Nokia phone even today.
That’s what I like about Dead Island too. Great games (although you will probably like Dead Island less due to the focus on melee). The lack of kiddies is quite easy to explain: the game is quite difficult and requires actual skill rather than epic loot (although the loot does help).
Good to see I’m not the only one with the Borderlands disease
