No particular order, like others..
1. Resident Evil 2- My First dip into survival horror. Played it at a friends house, both of us around 9 years old, huddled around her playstation. We screamed and yelled about how we didn't want to play anymore but we kept playing. I have loved the series every since, yes, even Five and Six.
2. Gears of War- My first Xbox game. My babysitter's brother let me play multiplayer, where I picked Baird having no idea who he was. I've played and beaten every game since then and I have weirdly always picked Baird as my multiplayer and my favorite character.
..that's all I can think of ^^;; XD I know theres others. Twisted Metal 2, Crash, ect.

Sly 2: Band of Thieves
I accredit this game with cementing my interest in the hobby. It was one of my first PlayStation 2 games and from the time I popped the disc in, I was enthralled. It remains one of my favourite games of all time, on part due to the nostalgia factor admittedly, but it's still a great adventure. Climbing around Paris, picking guards' pockets and feeling like the world is mine to conquer with my thiefiness...ahhhhhhh, good times. Sly 2 also made me a lasting Sucker Punch fan.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
My dream RPG, in a nutshell. I must've put well over 300 hours into the game by now, including about 140 on my beloved Khajiit, though I'll let you in on a little secret: I've never made a mage character, or even bothered with magic aside from the occasional heal spell. The atmosphere of this game is so much better than Skyrim's generic "epic fantasy" crap. Oblivion is full of flaws to be sure, but they're all very forgivable in the face of the grand adventure and hours of fun it's provided me with.
Final Fantasy VII
There simply had to be a Final Fantasy game on this list. I'm a massive fan of the turn-based combat in the series and the overall structure the games possess, aside from how they tend to take a very long time to really get going. I was debating which one to choose for awhile. X-2 was actually my first FF and I considered putting it on here for that reason, but while I did enjoy it a great deal, it's not...Final Fantasy-like enough to deserve such a position. VII was the first FF I finished proper and I loved just about every moment of it. The materia system is also my favourite, as it's easy for newcomers to grasp but you can spend a lot of time and effort strategically improving your characters with it. There is definitely good reason that a lot of people obsess over this game.
BioShock
Oh, BioShock. How can I even begin to explain my love for this game? Well it's pretty much the only first-person shooter I like. And I like it a lot. It also significantly contributes to the argument that video games can certainly be art. BioShock 2 was a decent sequel, but there's just no comparing it to the original. I believe I finished BioShock three times in a handful of months after I first got it and never got bored.
Kingdom Hearts II
While the first game has the better story in my opinion, KHII was a major improvement in most other areas. Boy, was I obsessed with this series for awhile. I've fallen out of touch with it in recent years due to the unfathomable amount of spin-offs they've released on platforms I don't own, but Kingdom Hearts II in particular still holds a very special place in my heart. I remember buying it before I'd finished the first game, rushing to do so and then beginning my Kingdom Hearts journey anew. I have some pretty big gripes with the series, but overall it's just a blast to play and the game's final bosses in particular are magnificent.

Super Mario Bros. 3 - I had a lot of fun with NES, but nothing tops this game. Infinitely playable to this day. Love it.
EA NHL Hockey Series - From '93 to 2000 I owned every game, and since 2000 have owned probably 7 out of the 12 games released.
Goldeneye - The first truly insanely fun multiplayer game, and with the exception of Half Life, stands as an untouchable FPS in my books.
Morrowind - The first game I ever played for over 500 hours. I could still play it today.
Fallout 3 - I loved FO & FO2, but this was by far my most anticipated game of the 21st century.
HONOURABlE MENTIONS:
N64 Wrestling Games: WCW vs NWO and the WWF series stands as the standard bearer for pro wrestling multiplayer.
Shining Force 1 & 2: Got me into turn-based RPGs, and been a fan ever since.
C&C Red Alert: The RTS experience of a lifetime, still own a copy.
Diablo: Point & Click game that was something remarkable for its time. Very dated now, but it was something special when it was released.
Civilization 4: Pick it up and play it now, it's just as fun as the first time.

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. I played Sonic games all my life up to this point, so nothing was surprising to me in terms in gameplay. In terms of gameplay and level design, I was shocked first playing this. When I played Hero story, I got a brief cutscene and BAM! Playing as Sonic, riding down as snowboard in the middle of the street, with a kick ass soundtrack blaring and the distant sound of sirens as I was chased by GUN. But the big moment was the Truck. You know, THAT truck. I remember distinctly going into the stage select, and playing that level over and over again just to play that part with the truck.
Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty: This is what I consider the Greatest Game ever. Of all time.
Pokemon Emerald: Last time I checked, I spent 13 days of my life playing that game. Seriously. I would play it at dinner, in the car, on a plane, while walking down the street.
Thats what I have. I think.

Hey there, you said that Halo 3 was the first FPS you ever played. Did you ever play Halo 1? I'm curious to see what your thoughts are about Halo 1--AFTER playing Halo 3. I'm not interested in the graphics, I mean the actual single player campaign for both story and action.Shadow flame master said:
That define me? well not necessarily my favourites but...
1) Counter strike. proving to myself that I suck at FPS
2) Red dead: not all sandbox games are my cup of tea
3) Alone in the dark. Introduction to horror games. Showing me that a game could scare you. Awesome.
4) Baldur's Gate 2 Man, even typing the name of it out makes me want to play it again.
5) FF 7: the first console game I ever bought

About these 5 define me as a gamer, my history of gaming and my overall taste:
1. Soul Reaver 2 (Legacy of Kain series)
2. God of War II (God of War series, though let's be honest... you play one, you play them all)
3. Jak 3 (Jak and Daxter series, yes even the Jak X : Combat Racing)
4. Neverwinter Nights 2: Mask of the Betrayer (nearly every Bioware RPG, NwN, BG, JE, ME, DA)
5. The Longest Journey (almost a dead tie between Syberia 1 and II, Curse of Monkey Island and every other one from the Monkey Island series)
Would have added Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper the ICO games Kingdom Hearts, Vampire Redemption & Bloodlines, Psychonauts and Bayonetta; but those are more in my top 10 faves category.

This will be interesting.
I'm a PC guy, so all of these are PC games, by the way.
Which is probably why I found Mirror's Edge fun and not shitty.
Let's see here, in no particular order:
Medal of Honor: Allied Assault
The first FPS game and one of the first games at all I played back when I was young. Literally set me up with the groundwork for: basic keyboard and mouse usage, hand-eye coordination and FPS marksmanship skills.
Counter-Strike: Source
My first foray into the world of multiplayer online gaming. Oh, how much my marksmanship skills sucked, how little I hated everyone by default and how much inexplicable fun I had.
Mirror's Edge
The game that taught me both everything I know about effectively moving in FPS games (turning me into a freerunning ninja if a game will allow) and gave me a reason to really try in the first place. I find use of these skills no matter what game I'm playing, from Minecraft to Battlefield 3 to Borderlands.
Ragnarok Online
This game is special to me as well. It was the first co-operative game[footnote]the very first game being Halo 2 on an X-Box, and that was...an experience I'd rather not remember[/footnote] that my first[footnote]and to this day, best and only[/footnote] friend and I played together, as well as being both my first MMORPG and second foray into multiplayer online gaming.
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
This game took my preexisting Mirror's Edge movement skill, FPS marksmanship skill, hand-eye coordination, reaction time, general gaming skill and passive-aggressive animosity towards human beings and turned it Up to Eleven [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UpToEleven].
Everything else just kind of expanded from there as I got older.
So, there you have it, ladies and gentlemen.

1. Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped (PS1) - The first game I bought and loved, it truly started my love of games.
2. Empire Earth 1 - The first game (non-linear) that I "clocked" so to speak and sunk a lot of hours into.
3. Portal 1 - A game that showed me a game doesn't need violence to be great and came at a time in my life when it's acquisition and my subsequent enjoyment confirmed to me that gaming is my favourite hobby.
4. COD 4 MW1 - This showered me multiplayer can be truly fun and challenging.
5. Team Fortress 2 - The perfect game for me; it's funny, light hearted and yet is a brilliantly balanced and fantastically designed multiplayer FPS. The game I have by far put the most hours into and I ultimately the one I'd say defines me as a gamer and what I love in a game.
Honourable Mentions:
GTA IV and Borderlands - Two games I thoroughly loved and put a lot of time into.

Duke Nukem 2:
Starting it all
Counter Strike 1.X:
First social online game experience
Starcraft/ Starcraft 2:
I love playing it, but love watching it way, way more.
Gothic series:
My personal Sonic-series
The first and second one will always remain in my heart. The third one was good, but in a different way. The fourth.... ouch
Age of Empires 1+2:
Played them as a kid for ages and ages when my parents were away.
Honourable mentions: Mirror's Edge, Assassins Creen, Half Life (1+2), Sim City 2000, Empire Earth, Minecraft

1. Heroes of Might and Magic II got me hooked on turn-based RPG's for having a truly engrossing story of royalty, betrayal, birthrights, and war.
2. Might & Magic VII for introducing me to point and click RPG's with a unique interface, multiple members of the party, incredible environments that I enjoy even now, and really creative classes and abilities.
3. Baldurs Gate, all of them, (One, Tales of the Sword Coast, 2, and Throne of Baal) for getting me into true Role-playing games. It was this game that defined my status as a DM for life.
4. Age of Mythology, to this day I consider it one of the best strategy games out there with unique mechanics and AI that actually surpasses some of the childish AI we see in today's games.
5. Alpha Centauri, I count this game as the best Civ-Style turn-based game that has ever been created. With an incredible story filled in with lore and background information that made the entire scifi universe it was based on seem completely real. To this day I still hear the voice of Nwabudike Morgan, CEO of Morgan Industries, anytime I read anything about economics.

1. Super Mario 64
The game that made me a gamer...it is the first game I can remember playing (I was 5 when we got an N64 for Christmas). The 3D platformer genre is still one of my favourite genres to this day.
2. Star Wars: KOTOR
The game that made me love RPG's. KOTOR was the first RPG that I was truly addicted to and it still holds my personal record for 'longest single play session' (8 and a half hrs...and I was still on Taris!)
3. The Secret of Monkey Island
This game took me a while to get into (I only first played it in the mid-late 90's and the graphics were really hard to get used to because it was so pixelated) but when I solved the first few puzzles I was hooked! I felt so clever and I love any puzzles I find in games now...especially when I am not expecting it.
4. Zelda: Ocarina of Time
My #1 favourite game of all time...I had never heard of Zelda before and I rented this game overnight from a video store in late 1998. I beat the 1st temple and after that I could tell this game was special...it was the top of my wishlist for Christmas that year and I got it
5. Goldeneye
I have never had so much fun playing multiplayer against my brothers/mates since this game...Halo 1 comes close though.
Honourable mentions:
Halo 1 - close 2nd to Goldeneye as far as mutliplayer goes
Zelda: Majoras Mask - made me love sidequests in games
Mass Effect 2 - Replayability and beautiful vistas
TF2 - Best online multiplayer game I have played

FF7- The first game where I felt something for the villian other than murder, death, kill. I loved the idea of blending magic and technology. That and I really love stories that blow your mind.
Halflife2 - favorite game of all time. Every chapter is different, it is almost like 10+ games in one. That and Alyx Vance is one of the greatest characters of all time. In Episode 1 there is a part where you go through the hospital infected with zombies and she switches out her autopistol for a shotgun. She then proceeds to mow down zombies like it is her job with the projectiles from the shotgun and the shotgun itself. When I saw her chop a zombie in half using the butt of the shotgun I fell in love. Plus she is one of the few female characters in the industry who when attempts humor doesnt go straight for the vagina monologue. She is actually genuinely funny, if a bit awkward (which adds to her charm).
World of Warcraft - ....unfortunately. Ive played that game for over 4 years (im clean now), but that many years of playing with my friends.....it stays with you.
Disgaea - A game of characters so wacky I immediately felt a connection with them. The ability to min/max is actually staggering, but I love how this game focused making me laugh.
Guardian Heroes (Sega saturn/XBL) - Loved it. Multiple final bosses/endings, 30 different stages (in which you go through like 7 in one playthrough), fun combat, nice art style, amazing music.

HOT DANG someone actually mentioned that.Uzi-Bazooka said:
I am genuinely surprised. I loved that game and I was seriously debating giving it AoEII's spot on my list. I didn't because it's just a carbon copy of the engine all done up in Star Wars, but still.
Come here and give me a hug.
I can't help but notice those are all relatively recent titles. Do you not actually have any older nostalgic games worth mentioning? Or are you simply a newer gamer than most of us here (if you don't mind me asking)?Caramel Frappe said:
Age of Empires II- Age of Kings and the expansion pack
Brought me into the RTS genre, and still one of the better ones I have played since
Star Wars: x-Wing for the mac
the first actual video game I had ever played, despite not really comprehending what was going on inside that cockpit. Also introduced me to other flight simulators, some of which are on my list of favorite games of all time.
Crash Bandicoot
I have broke 2 controllers, 1 memory card, and a couch over trying to beat this game all the way through when I was younger. First console game to really suck me in for hours and days, and an amazing platformer to boot.
Fallout
While the sequels were good, the original is superior in some ways. I am not a fan of TBS games, but fallout almost changed that. an amazing RPG, with a story, and a gameplay system that seemed very intuitive at the time. Really brought me into the RPG genre more than anything else.
Half-Life 2 (and the rest of the series, but saying that is probably cheating)
while I loved valve already after portal and tf2, HL2 had a great story, some scares, gameplay and, well, just everything.

So happy to see some people mention Lineage 2, lets me know that I'm not crazy.
Yes, there was a lot of grinding to be done, but when you do that with many people or your clan in the amazing temples or do a lot of boss fights, plus do the right quests, you don't even think about it. I took on Antharas with more than 200 people, nothing I did in WoW was that epic.

In no order
1. pokemon silver
The first pokemon game I ever played, I played it constantly. When I slept I had my hands up like they were holding a gameboy and my thumbs twitching away.
2. Civilization 3
This game set off my love of strategy games, I remember they were selling at my school during a book fair, I got home and played for a eight hours straight.
3. Kingdom Hearts
I just love this game it's just so unique, and it's the only game I really feel a since of nostalgia about.
4. Battlefield 3
It's the fps I have played the most and my favorite. I am a very competitive person so military shooters are a favorite of mine.
5. League of Legends
One of the most competitive games out there, why I love it so much. I know the community is pretty bad but I love it. Unfortunately I haven't been able to play for while due to technical difficulties.
