Name the game that you just can't live without.

The game that if given the choice ... would be the last remaining icon on your desktop.

probably CS:S, but lately I've been doing a pretty good job of living without it...

The Steam icon on my Windows 7 awesome bar. Even allows you to jump right into a handful of recently-played games from the right-click jump-list.
(No icons on desktop)

Diablo 3.

I'm from the Future.

I don't have any games on my desktop...

This.

But to answer the OP's question: None.
I am turning 31 next week and frankly I think video games have had a detrimental effect on my life. Since there is nothing I am looking forward to and I've played the fuck out of everything I own, I shall be giving them up soon.

If I am able to Ebay some shit I own (books mostly) and I get a good reputation, I will start selling more crap, like video games, porn, and maybe even some electronics I no longer need. The games are no longer a required part of my life. I can get by without them. And since I'm not addicted to TV, I wont be going to that as a substitute. I will probably spend more time reading, maybe writing, and perhaps excercising.

I can live without all my games, and over the course of the summer I intend to do just that. By Xmas I will be a little less material and a little better human being.

In the meantime: I will continue to verbally rape anyone who pushes DRM and fucks over honest customers.

Hawx is pretty addicting right now, I'd have to say Combat Arms.

No icons on my desktop at all. Why would I want any? :p

Anyway, if there's a game I would choose to be the only icon on my desktop, I guess that would be... Diablo 3? *future-club-person-high-five* Though seriously, if I would need a game icon, I'd just pin it to the task bar.

It's got to be Civilization IV, I may not play it daily or even monthly but once I go back to it it captures my imagination for weeks upon weeks.

Heh. You and I got a similar theme going on here:

And I have to agree... Diablo 3 will be readily linked for quick access, somewhere. Not sure if that'll be a Steam game or found in the Games directory in Explorer.
