By the numbers

[Toonces]

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.

[Toonces]

Mount and Blade was my big surprise.  I had no idea it was up there competing with King Arthur.

[LongBlade]

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.

[Fighting Farmer]

My big time hog is
CIV 5: 233 hours

Its my favorite game to play while watching sports on TV.

[Gusington]

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.

[Kushan]

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

[Arctic Blast]

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

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

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.
