    guild wars lasted me 3 years. i suggest it. oblivion is fun, i like entertaining myself with it trying new mods. KotOR 1 and 2 are both really fun for sevaral times through, but now i can beat KotOR 1 in like...8 hours and 2 in 10. I dont like just one game though, i like several, so when one starts to get boring i can switch. i'd highly suggest a mmo, they are by far the most addicting games (imo).
