I have a ton of games in my Steam account. I think it's interesting how my playing time breaks out among those games I have installed:
Skyrim: 112 hours
Crusader Kings 2: 10 hours
Empire Total War: 65 minutes
Fallout New Vegas: 63 minutes
King Arthur 1: 43 hours
King Arthur 2: 30 minutes
Left 4 Dead 2: 4 hours
The Lord of the Rings: War in the North: 29 minutes
Medieval 2 Total War: 2 hours
Medieval 2 Kingdoms: 91 minutes
Metro 2033: 106 minutes
Mount and Blade: Warband: 44 hours
Mount and Blade Fire and Sword: 50 minutes
Napoleon Total War: 4 hours
Naval War Arctic Circle: 25 minutes
Red Orchestra 2: 13 hours
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: 27 minutes
Take Command Second Manassass: 9 hours
Shogun 2 Total War: 42 minutes
Wargame European Escalation: 72 minutes
Unfortunately I have a lot of highly played games that aren't on Steam: WiTP:AE and Falcon 4.0 come to mind. Also, I probably logged hundreds of hours on M2TW Kingdoms before I got it on Steam. Still...it's clear that only a handful of games out of the 100+ on my Steam library have held my interest for any significant length of time.
Great thread.
Skyrim isn't installed presently. I think I had 60 or 70 hours into it.
Warlock: 59 hours
Dawn of War II: 40 hours
Call of Duty Blackops MP: 26 hours
Defense Grid: 151 hours (I keep coming back to it)
Magicka: 141 hours (OK, that is a huge surprise)
That's just a few. The huge surprise is Magicka. I had no idea I was anywhere close to that number.
Mount and Blade was my big surprise. I had no idea it was up there competing with King Arthur.
My Magicka score can't be right. I liked it, but there's just no way.
I've been loggin on many hours of MB: Warband these last days too, Singleplayer though, Vanilla version and Europe 1200 mod. It has great replay value.
My big time hog is
CIV 5: 233 hours
Its my favorite game to play while watching sports on TV.
I've got about 70 hours with Skyrim, 70 hours with Empire Total War, 70 hours with Shogun 2, 50 with Napoleon Total War, 40 with Civ V, 10 with Warlock...and a bunch with only a few minutes. I don't have anything on Steam that I've invested more than 100 hours in, but I'm sure I put in 10,000 hours plus with Medieval 2 TW since it came out.
Skyrim: 181 hours
Fallout New Vegas: 41 Hours
Naval War: Arctic Circle: 8 Hours
Wargame: EE: 4 Hours
Empire Total War: 45 Hours
Civilization V: 32 Minutes
I have a bunch of other games that are only a few minutes. For some reason HL2 isn't registering as played, and that's one of the few FPS's I've actually beat the campaign.
My top five:
Dungeons and Dragons Online
Day of Defeat Source
Left for Dead 2
Civ V
Empire Total War
Team Fortress 2 : 70 hours
Borderlands : 68.6 hours
Just Cause 2 : 30.8 hours
Dawn of War 2 : 24.6 hours (Chaos Rising adds another 12.5, and I know I did an entire play through when I was stuck without Internet access for 2 weeks)
Saints Row : The Third : 21.6 hours
I'm afraid to post mine. The sad things is, the games I've truly played the crap out of aren't even on Steam.
Anyway, my top five are:
Empire: Total War: 265.4 hours
Shogun 2: Total War: 183.8 hours (would likely be up around ETW numbers if I hadn't upgraded my PC to one that can't run the game anymore)
Civilization V: 99.5 hours
Two Worlds II: 68.9 hours
Red Orchestra 2: 68.1 hours.
