I favour variety. Sometimes I want mindless action, sometimes I want puzzles, sometimes I want excitement, sometimes I want to just chill out. So I tend to jump from one game to another a bit.
There are some games that I simply can't put away until I'm done, though. Metroid Prime and Metroid Prime 3 come to mind. The only reason I put away Metroid Prime 2 is because Metroid Prime 3 came out and I couldn't wait.

A game has to have something special mixed in to keep me involved, even if I am absolutely in love with it when I play it. For some reason, even though I try to play all the popular games, I sometimes can't bring myself to finish them. Here's a short, embarrassing list of required gaming that I've yet to complete by myself (though I've started them many times):
-Zelda (Original, OoT, and Wind Waker)
-Goldeneye
-Final Fantasy 7
-Any metroid game
aaaaaand we'll stop short of revealing the original Super Mario Bros...
On the other hand, I've been getting better lately... I've beaten EBA, all Ace Attorneys but AJ (which I'm working on now), Kingdom Hearts 1, 2, and CoM, Kotor, all the Halos, Gears, Uncharted, NSMB.... then I threw myself a curve ball, buying GTAIV, Professor Layton, and the MGS Essentials collection in the same week....
I'm strange...
