Buying a game twice cause it was so good!

Back when I first got my first gaming console (Ps3) in 2007, I decided to get the orange box from valve which I thought was a bargain for its price, since it was 5 games in 1. I'd had never heard of half-life or any other Valve related game before. At the time I didn't try half-life 2 because I thought it would be a typical horror game (Which I hate). So I decided to first try out portal, since puzzle games were always fun and interesting to play.

So after finishing portal a few times, which I've never enjoyed so much, I decided to try out Team fortress 2. Unfortunately it did not want to work as it needed internet at the time (Which I didn’t have). So eventually I built up the courage to play Half-life 2 and boy have I never looked back. I was having so much fun that I thought I should actually get it the orange box for PC, since I prefer FPS games with a mouse rather than a keyboard. It was a good decision as from there I got into online TF2 and into the whole half-life franchise.:love:
 
2007 was a vintage year, also lol at you thinking Half-Life was a horror game...

I've bought games twice quite a few times, mostly getting PC versions of games I've played on console. Namely; Bioshock, Batman AA, ME1&2. Normally when I see them going for cheap I pick them up just to keep in the PC collection.
 
I've also bought a game twice (or more in some cases) quite a few times now. Some of them are for obvious reasons, like loving the game so much I want it for every platform I have that it is available on and some were because of stupidity. For example, I have bought Killzone 2 at least 4 times, if not 5. Each time I got tired of the MP and traded the game in, but eventually I would want to play it again so I bought it again, repeatedly.
 
Off the top of my head, I bought Gears of War 1, several old DOS games, Darksiders, Psychonaughts, Quake 3 Arena, Unreal, Unreal Tournament 3, and Braid twice, and I bought Beyond Good and Evil three times. That's all I can remember now. It's usually nostalgia's fault.
 
Only twice? :p

So far I've myself doom on every device I have.

The only game I bought more than once was Heroes 3 and unreal,
My parents bought tib sun: firestorm twice because they thought it was a diff game because the boxes where in different colours.
 
I have bought Gothic 3 twice, once in the red coloured boxed edition (other one is brown (more limited edition)) and then again in Gothic Universe just so that I could get number 1 and NOTR as well.
I bought Heroes V complete and bought Heroes I - V complete a few months later. Then bought Heroes VI limited which came with Heroes III.
All in all I buy games more then once to get complete editions to avoid having repeat boxes on my shelf
 
Jeez, where do I start ...
