1: Copy paste the above, FFIX for the exact same reasons, the musical score is outstanding, the plot is engaging, the characters have depth and Kuja is a badass, it's my favourite FF game bar absolutely none.
2: The original Metal Gear Solid.
That game was one of the defining experiences of my childhood, I don't know what else to say about it really.
3: Dawn of War 2 + Chaos Rising.
What can I say, it may be dumbed down from the original Dawn of War games, but the RPG elements really work for me, I enjoy the hell out of it.
1. Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
2. Spyro the Dragon
3. Banjo-Kazooie.
Before I got into RPG's and FPS's, I was quite the platformer nut.

Usually I play through a game once and then leave it forever. These games I have went back and played through again. So I must have liked them the most.
Thief: The Dark Project. Gold release. The sound in this game is still excellent today.
Escape Velocity Nova. Endlessly replayable, especially with mods.
Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast.
I feel compelled to mention Bomb Jack, Rick Dangerous and Dizzy as well. Back when I had my Atari. Many hours were lost playing them.

X-COM: UFO Defense
That one was an easy choice and it's probably the game I've had the most fun with. But it's also the game that has had me on the edge of my chair the most. I played it back in '94 or '95 and I've been coming back to it ever since. It's one of those games that just works. While the next two in the series were great as well, they didn't quite capture the feeling for me. And don't get me started of the pile of crap 2K Marin is doing right now.
Baldur's Gate 2
While other role playing games from that time has better stories or gameplay BG2 combines both in a way that is yet to be bested. Planescape Torment is great as well, but it doesn't have the flow and feeling that BG2 has. Today, 10 years later, I'm still looking for a role playing game to top BG2. I'm sometimes accused of dismissing newer games and not wanting anything to top this game. That's wrong. I want a game that tops it very much. That game would be incredibly good. Sadly, a very few has gotten close. Fallout, Planescape Torment and a few others have been close, but these days I've just about given up hope.
Role playing games have become a lot more tedious and shallow and even Bioware is going the wrong way about it. They still make good games but BG2, I suspect, will be their Magnum Opus, never to be bested.
Master of Orion 2
This one was a bit tricky. Part of me want to say Civilization 2 or Medieval Total War, but MoO2 just stands out more for me. I was but a lad when I played it and it sent shivers down my back when I faced of my galactic enemies and researched new ways of killing them. I started playing it in '96 I think and spend the next few years returning to it. Sadly I bought it on gog.com recently only to realise that I now suck at it. Games have gotten dumber indeed, and I've become too used to them. MoO2 just kicks my ass and confuses me. It's really the same problem I have playing I-War. Both games require a lot of attention and over the years I've become used to games not demanding anything from me. It saddens me. Some would argue that MoO is the better than MoO2. To them I say pah! Pifflewiffle!
Runners up: Freespace 2 for being the best space fighter game. TIE Fighter for being the best Star Wars game and the best space fighter, thus creating a cognitive dissonance in my brain. Half-Life for changing FPS games in a way none other have done. STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl for being the best FPS game since the original Half-Life and having the tenacity to kick my ass relentlessly. Thank you GSC. And finally Far Cry 2 for giving me a place to make my own stories, having the balls to mess up my gameplay just as things are going well, giving me malaria and being god damn gorgeous.

1. Lemmings (the original version) - Playing this with my dad at weekends is the earliest gaming memory I have, and I still play it on a regular basis. Also, it was originally developed by Rockstar, which it AWESOME!!!!
2. Golden Sun - First game I got for the Game Boy Advance, and the only Game Boy Advance game that I go back to constantly (apart from the sequel, The Lost Age)
3. Battlefield 2 - Bit of a contrast from the previous 2, as it isn't a childhood memory or the first of something. No, this game sticks out in my mind because of one online match I played, where my squad, essentially, ran in a circle around the map for the whole game, taking control points and killing all enemies in our way. I know it doesn't sound like much, but there was this sense of accomplishment and unity in the squad that I haven't felt since in an online FPS

1. Metal Gear Solid 3
This game changed my life.
I absolutely loved it from beginning to end. xD I just couldn't put it down once I started playing it. I just loved the entire game. Plus I love Big Boss <3
2. Uncharted 2
I just had so much fun playing this game. And I can still go back and play it without getting bored. xD
3. Kingdom Hearts 2
Another one of those games where I couldn't put the controller down once I started to play. It just kept me interested from beginning to end.

Three games? First two are easy, third is very hard to pick.
1. Return to Castle Wolfenstein
My first FPS, indeed one of the first real games I played. I know a lot of it by heart.
2. Empire Earth
Not the first RTS I played (that would be Age of Empires), but I loved it. The availability of every epoch to play in, campaigns that draw you in with great storytelling and a number of unique civilizations coupled with the chance to make more just kept me coming back. Kicked off my interest in History as well, for which I am very thankful.
3. Morrowind
A lot of other games could be here (Rome: Total War, Crusader Kings, Hearts of Iron 2, Freelancer, etc.) but I chose Morrowind because I'd just never seen anything like it. The scope was immense and the setting immersive. With mods the game only got better.
