That Gamecube James Bond game, i think it was Nightfire, it had a laser cannon thing called the samurai. I rememeber playing that with my Saudi Arabian friend in his condopartment along with some ps2 bond game and some other stuff. Good times. Me and him and his brother would always play with the 'sniper' weapon-set where we had good snipers, smg, the laser thing and i think the golden gun. If someone can find an emulator and online play i will hug you.
B-17 Flying fortress 2. Such an incredibly steep learning curve, that actually hitting a target is immensely satisfying! Still a great game now.
Final Fantasy VII. I still think its a great game, but I think it is some increadibly strong characters mixed with some great evolutions of storytelling paired with...rather horrid gameplay. I no longer think its the greatest game ever, forever.
Also, Urban Assault (Woo obscure games!) Came for free with my families first computer, and because of that, it BLEW MY MIND.
Though technically, the real answer would be Magic: The Gathering. In High School, I played Magic like it was my job.

I love that game. The mood in some parts of the game is just great. It still moves me today.Nulmas said:I think I have to say it would be Illusion of Gaia/Illusion of Time, an action RPG for the SNES from 1994.
It completely blew my mind back then
My favourite game, though, is Secret of Mana.
Still play it from time to time, and I've just taken my D&D-players through a fun campaign based on the game.
Duke Nukem 3D comes a close second. I've spent countless hours building my own levels and campaigns for the game. Some of my friends did the same, and we kept bulding levels to challenge each other. I'm playing the original episodes again now, staying away from secret areas to increase the challenge, and I'm still having a lot of fun with good old Duke.
Descent, Incoming, X-wing vs Tie Fighter and MECHWARRIOR 2!!! i played that game so much it's not even funny. And the demo for System Shock 2. That was scariest game for me when i was a kid.
Hrm I'd have to say my favorites from when I younger were Warcraft 2 (I actually didn't like 3) and Baldurs Gate 2.
Now? Mass Effect franchise I think, though TF2 has eaten my brain lately. So addicting.

With or without glasses..
I never managed to play trough it or anything, but I always loved it anyways because of the creatures and my endless effort to be nice even though the game made me evil whatever I did...
And I can still play it and have fun. Some day, I will get trough it...

Lego Racers for N64, because it was my first game, not the first game I played but MY first game, not my brother's, mine. Sad I had to go to school on my birthday, longest school day of my life that was.
there are very few games that have a long "Lifetime" nowadays, and i'm actually wanting more retro looking games like Baldur's Gate 2.
Tough call.
I'd really have to go with the old Cinemaware classics; Defender of the Crown, and Lords of the Rising Sun.
If I had the time and patience I'd love to mod Mount & Blade: Warband into a Defender of the Crown or Lords of the Rising Sun remake. It wouldn't be too hard to involve all the elements: you've got the tournaments, sieges, battles, night time raids, and the rescue of the damsel in distress! In LotRS, you've got frickin' ninja attacks, there's the hot Princess to rescue, and there's the awesome minigames after battles where you ride down and massacre the fleeing general. WooT!! Damnit ... where's my Amiga Emulator ... *disappears*

Although Diablo 2 claims the most hours played, it's not my favorite. And I've got so many fond memories, I'll try to keep them to 3/generation.
