I find alot of games I restart and even play through training missions because I like to restart and feel nooby..

For example, Morrowind - I like being a low level so I can build up my character, I don't really want a super-uber character in those types of games, I've restarted in Morrowind atleast 200-300 different characters, I've had it for 2 years... I'd like to be a Morrowind/Oblivion noob again... being a noob at those games is fun..

I can't think of others, but I know (for me) there are tons upon tons of games I'd like to be a noob at again...

WHAT ABOUT YOU!?!

.
 
Half-Life 2, I spoiled the shit out of the game by watching every video ever released.

So when I actually played it, it felt as though I had already done so.
 
I'd like to be able to rediscover all the Zelda games.
 
Diablo 2 sadly, first time using frozen orb was awesome.
 
Counter-Strike.

Once you get good at this game all the fun is over.

As a matter of fact once you get good at cs its over for most mp games. :/
 
LOL nice one *cough

As for me, HL2 a first time would be good.

So true :(

Though I enjoy being really good at it.
 
Secret of Monkey Island.

All the Monkey Island games, I wish I could figure out the puzzles again, experiences the jokes for the first time, etc.

Same.

Also, Half Life 2 and Guild Wars... Just because I want to have those same feelings I had when I first started the game, the sense of wonder at the magical game world. Sure, the game is still insanely fun, but the game world doesn't feel as immersive (Same with Half Life 2, really).
 
GTA 3, VC and SA. Few games I enjoyed more at the start than those, not knowing where to go, not knowing there the story is going.
 
All Final Fantasy's i've played, MGS series and Warcraft series (except WoW - put to much time into that to want to start a fresh) to name but a few i'd want to be a noob at again.
 
Empires (the HL2 mod). It felt so damn new and exciting, every map was utterly gigantic and full with possible tactics :D
 
Most RPGs I wish I could play again without knowing all the proper dialogue choices, puzzle solutions and such.

Other than an entire genre...

Myst series, Max Payne, every old LucasArtsish adventure game (Space Quest, Kings Quest, Maniac Mansion...)
 
The elder scrolls series. Going out into the first town having absolutely no clue what the hell you are doing was an amazing feeling.

The grand theft auto series to a lesser extent.

The KoTOR games.

Tribes 2, the first game I had played like it and pretty much the first multiplayer game I ever tried. Going into my first game and seeing the flying vehicles overhead being shot down was pretty crazy. I jumped in the first transport I saw, felt pretty much helpless. I would probably feel the same about the battlefield games but they felt pretty similar in layout to the tribes games so I wasn't so confused.
 
Battlefield2, I wish it was the same way it was 2 weeks after release: really fun.
 
By noob, do you mean 'haven't played the game yet' or 'still learning how to get around'? If the former, probably all the FPS I've ever played - the only ones I didn't like I put down. If the latter, none; that's what stinks about being a noob. You know you need to nail that guy, but your aim is off and maybe you throw your best ammo at it, wasting them and hurting yourself. The FPS games that really left an impact on me (probably because it was my first foray into FPSs would be Quake II, Alien v. Predator II, and Half Life.
 
Hmm... Hmmmm...... HMMMM.... Diablo 2, Warhammer 40k.
 
Every game I've ever played.

It's always better the first time you play it.

But especially Diablo II.
 
World of Warcraft

The epic scope of the game wore off after a few months.
 
Freespace series
Half-Life 1
Unreal
Jak & Daxter
Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance
 
Elite.

Morrowind comes a close second, probably Baldurs gate too.

More recently I would say the very first night playing Oblivion, watching the sun set as I climbed higher into the mountains for the first time was jaw dropping.
 
Ocarina of Time.
Shenmue.
Conker's Bad Fur Day.
 
Half-Life 2 without a doubt. When I play through Red Letter Day, just wandering around, watching conversations, almost getting arrested then walking out into the city, wandering about some more then getting chased by Metro Police is something I really want to experience again without knowing it's going to happen. Places like Route Kanal do that to me, too.

Going back to when I use to play BF2 on my original Xbox (Live), I wish I hadn't cheated to get the one medal which would take me from Medium difficulty servers to High servers. High games sucked. It was just people bitching, going off on their own, trying to kill as many people as possibly which means dolphin diving all the time, bunny hopping, wall-hackers, etc. Was awful. Medium servers was chilled, relaxed, had communication/teamwork and was damn fun. I wish I hadn't gotten that medal.
 
HL2/Ravenholm...man id give anything for episode 2 to have another Ravenholm
 
A LIT ravenholm.. Wow, a lit ravenholm would look so different.
 
I wish I could wipe my memory of World of Warcraft to start all over again!
