Right, I was looking in a recent favorite weapons thread, and someone mentioned a chainsaw from Silent Hill 2 which made me think about how well-received it is, which in turn, made me think about really good games. So, after a half-arsed search, I decided to ask this simple question, and not post my answer because with all the new people, someone is bound to attack me for it. Right, the question is...

What do you think is the best game that has come out so far, and what are your reasons?

There is no "best", games are art, not science, and you can't objectively rate their quality. You might as well just ask everybody what their favorite game is (which is also difficult, having to narrow down just one.)

For story, characters, dialogue: Planescape Torment, I'd say it's unsurpassed in these areas from my experience.
Two of the most impressive games, for me, considering all factors (story, gameplay, graphics, audio etc) I'd say Portal & World of Goo. When it comes down to genres well there're always clear favourites with most people. I'm not really one for pigeon holing but here goes:

Racing: F-Zero GX
Platformer: Braid / Psychonauts... not sure
Strategy: UFO: Enemy Unknown
FPS / FPRPG: Portal / Thief / HL2:EP2 / Metroid Prime / System Shock 2... again, not sure, it's a tough one.
Puzzle: World of Goo? (Puzzler?)
RPG: Planescape: Torment
Sandbox: Dwarf Fortress
Adventure: Day of the Tentacle / Shadow of the Colossus
Multiplayer: Left 4 Dead, Mariokart DS (local play)

I'm dry, can't think of much more. To single out one though seems too high an order! I personally think games like HL2, Resident Evil 4, Zelda and Mario etc are generally overrated.

For me it would have to be either Resi Evil or Legend of Zelda in 3d..Both have provided me with endless joy..although my fav game is Metal Gear solid for other reasons.

Fallout 3 in my Opinion, just because of the gameplay and all the different things you can do.
