The ability to suck me in. A good game will make me play it when I have free time. A great game will make me play it even when I don't have time to play it. What factors most in that "ability to suck me in"? I can't really narrow it down.

I think you captured the essence of a great game there. There is some ineffable quality in great games that keeps one coming back for more. It's that feeling that keeps you playing until 3am or draws you back to the couch five minutes after shutting off the system.
