    TF2 is more than the other games combined, but: 
     
    TF2 
    Plants vs Zombies 
    Fallout 3
    Half-Life 2 
    World of Goo 
     
    I'm starting to get embarrassed about the TF2 number.  I love the game, but man... that's a lot of my life spent in a single game!

    According to Steam:

    1. Garry's Mod - 54 hours
    2. Plants vs. Zombies - 44 hours
    3. Mayhem Intergalactic - 17 hours
    4. Half-Life - 8 hours
    5. Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale - 8 hours
    6. Uplink - 8 hours
    7. Grand Theft Auto III - 6 hours
    8. Braid - 5 hours
    9. Audiosurf - 5 hours
    10. Chime - 4 hours

    Doing a top five would require removing one of the 8-hour games, so I made a top 10 list instead. Since Steam hasn't always tracked total time played, some of the estimates are rather low. According to Xfire, Audiosurf should actually be in third place instead of way down in ninth.

     Counter-Strike: Source 135.1 hours 
     Borderlands - 104.7 hours

    TF2 also has 538.1 hours, but I guess game time tracking wasn't enabled around its release.

    1. Civ V: 237.4 hours.

    2. Just Cause 2: 181.6 hours.

    3. Terraria: 168.1 hours.

    4. Skyrim: 157.7 hours.

    5 Borderlands 1: 127.6 hours. (BL2 is getting close, however.)

    That's just for Steam. Now, my all time highs would be Burnout Paradise, Minecraft, and World of Tanks, all in excess of 500 hours.

    It's worth mentioning that my TF2 playtime is only about half of the amount of time I've played Street Fighter 4 and it's iterations across 360, PS3, and PC.

    1. Skyrim - 47.9
    2. Doom 3 BFG (yes, really; remember that 1 and 2 are included and I use them as podcast games) - 44.4
    3. Borderlands - 40.2
    4. Sleeping Dogs - 37.7
    5. Dragon Age Origins - 32.5

    Actually, Torchlight 2 ought to be fourth and Deus Ex Human Revolution ought to be fifth because my brother has played those latter two a fair bit.

    According to Steam:

    1. Borderlands 2 - 128 hours

    2. Red Faction: Guerrilla - 109 hours

    3. Global Agenda - 96 hours

    4. TF2 - 66 hours

    5. Deus Ex: Human Revolution - 63 hours

    I know that some of the games on my list don't have the right times though (for example says I haven't played HL2: EP1).

    EDIT:

    Looked at my Xfire and Raptr accounts and it's more like:

    1. League of Legends - 463 hours

    2. The Matrix Online - 416 hours

    3. Borderlands 2 - 128 hours

    4. Red Faction: Guerrilla - 109 hours

    5. Global Agenda - 96 hours

    • Team Fortress 2 - idling borks my hours counted, but it's probably in the neighborhood of 100-120 hours without idling.
    • Dead Island - simple co-op game for when friends just want to smash zombies without too much strategy; 65 hours
    • Torchlight (1) - 44 hours
    • Sleeping Dogs - 42 hours
    • Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (1) - 26 hours

    1. Team Fortress 2 - 92 hours.
    2. Audiosurf - 55 hours.
    3. Lumines - 49 hours.
    4. Altitude - 40 hours.

    Lumines is proof that I have a weakness for puzzle games.

    And it's time to update my top 5.

    1. Team Fortress 2 - 338 hours. Haven't played it in any regularity in about a year.
    2. SimCity 4 Deluxe - 214 hours. Most of that in a span of a month.
    3. Terraria - 195 hours. Cracks the top 3.
    4. Audiosurf - 73 hours. Dropped 2 spots.
    5. Borderlands 2 - 67 hours. Knocks off Borderlands down to #6.

    3. Command and Conquer 3 - 100.

    4. Saints Row 3 - 98.

    5. Half Life 2 - 91.

    AI War: Fleet Command, World in Conflict, Borderlands 2, Rome: Total War and Neverwinter Nights 2 are 5-10.

    I've played even more Half Life 2, Skyrim and Saints Row 3 than that, though. My first Steam account forever ago for Half Life, and console for Skyrim and Saints Row 3.

    1. Team Fortress 2 - 1844hrs without a moment of idle, because why would I need to when I like playing it so much
    2. Skyrim - 204hrs
    3. Torchlight - 204hrs
    4. Terraria - 204hrs ... that's a weird tie, isn't it?
    5. Borderlands - 194hrs

    And then it's Borderlands 2, Space Pirates and Zombies, Spacechem, Civ 5

    If I didn't have to go out shortly, I'd now totally go and play more TF2... just thinking about it makes me want to play heheh.

    1. stronghold kingdoms
    203 hours
    granted the majority of that is being idling in the background or running while i was either away or sleeping since i forgot to close it down. i would guess that at most i have played it for about 5 hours total.

    2. anno 2070
    123 hours

    3. the last remnant
    88 hours

    4. the settlers 7: path to kingdom gold edition

    1. Dark Souls - 156 hours

    2. Skyrim - 145 hours

    3. Total War Shogun 2 - 120 hours

    4. IL-2 Cliffs of Dover - 101 hours

    5. DOTA 2 - 92 hours

    A lot of time in other games was lost because I either use a mod launcher that bypasses steam(or ArmA 2 would be #1) or because I played it before Steam counted time.

    410 hours in TF2 since they started counting hours played. Easily had 200-300 before that. (And none of that is idling, jerks.)

    I have far too many games to go through and find the rest of my top five.

    I totally forgot people idled (or still idle?) for items. I have about 300 hours logged, and haven't really touched it in the last two years.

    OH GOD THIS THREAD IS ALMOST THREE YEARS OLD WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS

    Also, to update: I'm at 786 TF2 hours (so adding in those untracked ~250 that'd put me at just over a thousand) and 819 Dota 2 hours.

    1. Team Fortress 2 - 146 Hours
    2. Garry's Mod - 59 Hours
    3. Modern Warfare 2 - 56 Hours
    4. Left 4 Dead 2 - 44 Hours
    5. Audiosurf - 38 Hours

    My most played PC games all aren't on Steam, like Swtor (160 hours), Maplestory (160 hours+ (woops)), War Craft 3 (400+ hours), etc. Also don't think my Audiosurf time is very accurate, really it's probably closer to around 75 hours, and Beat Hazard is around 50. Also kind of sad to see TF2 is still number one for me by such a large margin, considering I haven't really played that game in about three years.
