I didn't really start playing games for years until I found MMORPG's (which pretty much killed off any interest in single player titles) and I've played the following:

Morrowind i think ive played over period of 6 months (2002)almost everyday and rest of year at least every week Skyrim is great but for me Morrowind is still by far my best in series.

Various "Total War" Games - Rome, Shogun 2, Medieval 2. Depending on what setting I want to play and what mods that I install. Between them, I definitely put alot of time with Rome Total War and the many great mods it had (has).
Sins of a Solar Empire - Great space strategy game in the RTS style. Namely for the 2 mods, "Sins of a Galactic Empire" (Star Wars), and "Sacrifice of Angels 2" (Star Trek).
Company of Heroes - Still the true leader in RTS games, and dared to try new things. Not some cheap, retextured, repackaged, regurgitation of an old game. COH did things that other developers are still scared of trying when it came to RTS titles, and pulled it off extremely well. The last great RTS game, IMO. I also play with the Blitzkrieg mod and a voicepack so that German units speak German and not the terrible Hollywood German-English of the vanilla version.
Battlefield 2 - Still pop in time to time. The last TRUE Battlefield game. Fun infantry combat, large maps with varied terrain levels, vehicle combat, Commander mode, actual teamplay. After BF2, only BF2142 comes closest to what BF is. Not even the newer BF3 can even half-competently do it right like BF2 did.
ARMA 2 - Yes, it's a FPS, but it's a Mil-sim. People afraid of the word "simulator" or a learning curve need not apply. It's the franchise that tries to be what flight sims are for aviation games, but ground based, and particular emphasis in realism for infantry fighting. BIG maps. Unforgiving and strives for realism. Mature community with no BS that you come across in other more popular FPS games. I've repeatedly come back for trigger time in ARMA 2.
Falcon 4.0 - With mods, this 1998 game is STILL the best combat flight simulator out there. It has received alot of good, serious loving over the years. I still have the binder with the thick game manual, not the cheap PDF manual BS that developers do to give you less for your money these days. The Dynamic Campaign System is a different experience every time. Lots of factors affect the situation that you fly into next, and when flying, you can see and hear radio chatter that, hey, there is a *war* going on around you, and that you are really but one tiny game piece. Dynamic Campaign Systems for me offer far better depth and variety in a campaign than any regular, scripted one can ever do. It is also a flight sim from the Golden Era of these type of games, the 1990s.

(First Lieutenant Clifton B. Cates, US Marine Corps, Soissons, 19 July 1918)
Dragon Force: No, not the band. The awesomeness that graced the Sega Saturn way back when. A game in my collection that I never plan to part with
I had that game on my 'ol Saturn. It was quite a nice game.

SC 1 and 2, though i played 1 for like 5 years and SC2 hasn't been out that long.
WoW, started at launch, didn't quit until right before firelands, just resubbed for a month see DS, will probably check back at expansion.
Fallout 1-2,Planescape Torment: I replay all 3 of these probably once a year, i played through all of them after quiting FF 13 because it was so horrible i had to be reminded of what a good rpg was.
Dragon Quest 9: Because it's like an mmo that makes me nostalgic.
The games that have kept me coming back for more, or in one's case, never leaving-
Dungeons & Dragons Online - Been rocking out here for six years and counting. Will probably be here until they turn out the lights or do something incredibly stupid (the latter being entirely possible with Turbine)
City of Heroes/Villains - Played for three years straight and still pop in every few months to see whats new
Counter Strike - Yeah, still jump in for a few rounds of 1.6
Half-Life 2 - While I'm no longer doing the once a year run through, I'll still fire it up for an hour or two when the urge hits.
Final Fantasy 7 - With this being on the Playstation Network, I no longer have to fire up the PSOne to give it a spin.

I didn't really start playing games for years until I found MMORPG's (which pretty much killed off any interest in single player titles) and I've played the following:
DAOC - 2.75 yrs
WOW - 1.75 yrs
EVE - 3.5 yrs

DAoC, 10 years now and still going.,
When I said i had "time", i meant virtual time, i got no RL "time" for you.
Lineage II (4 years over the last 6 years)
Lord of the Rings online (have lifetime sub, but played actively 1 1/2 year continuously)
Baldur's Gate + Tales o/t Swordcoast (nearly finished it in a bit over a year and then my HDD crashed - no external saves
)
Morrowind (about 1 year)
That's it for me...
LIES!
Game is not even half a year old
Age of Empires 2 - 10 years
Morrowind - 5 years
Dark Age of Camelot - 9 years.
Modern MMOs just aren't designed around building a dynamic game world and solid community, so you can't expect to sub for more than a few months.
All tekken games since T1
CS
C&C RA 1&2,Generals,Renegade
AOE 1&2
FFIV,FFIII
Lineage II - 6 years
EVE - 3 Years
I have played the following games repeatedly for years:
Diablo and Diablo II LoD online
EQ2 (7 yrs)
WoW (starting at release and on for 6.5 yrs. alongside EQ2)
Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines
Puzzle Quest
Runescape
Ultima Online
Torchlight
MMORPG.com
Sid Meier's Pirates!
President of The Marvelously Meowhead Fan Club
Hmm, lots of them but here's a try:
Civ-series
Football manager series (and Champ. manager before that)
Freelancer
Age of Wonders (all three games)
TES: Daggerfall
Europa universalis (different incarnations)
Everquest 1 and 2
WoW
Lotro
Vanguard
Problem with the MMO:s is that I have start/stopped many of them so maybe they don't count apart from EQ1.
FFXI - around 5 years but don't like abyssea so no longer play.
The Last Remnant - about 2 years.
WoW - 2 years but mainly played pre-tbc.
SOCOM 2 - 3 years.
And Oblivion 1 1/2 years.
Civ 4
Football Manager
Sim City
The Sims
Gran Turismo
Guitar Hero
FFXI
Someone mentioned Populous (not played for years but did play it for a long time)
