Replayability is really waht makes a game worth keeping. Games that get boring half way through, or are just aggrivating don't have alot of incentive to play through again, or to bring over to a friend's or w/e.
Online gameplay is also something that makes a game very popular. Games that are solely single player don't get much looking from me. I'm more of an online/LAN type person who likes to play with others.
Let's take Red Faction. It was fun to play, I'd give it an average rating. Not really stellar, and the storyline and ending kind of sucked. But I'll be darned if I didn't play that game for hours and hours and at various LAN parties because the online play was just so great.
