ooo, that's tricky.... Maybe Portal?
I know its not incredibly lengthy or anything and, besides a few easter eggs, has really no explorative value. But that's fine, you know, because it is perfect in its simplicity.

Well, I love a lot of games people have already listed, and more recently, Deus Ex: HR was a contender, but none stayed my favorite. My favorite game of all time has to be Fallout 3. I love the setting, the gameplay, the weapons. Honestly, the best part for me is the setting. The desolate wastes, half-assed cities, and grotesque creatures with the 1950's esque style to items, weapons and music. Those all sell the series to me. And with the change from the original Fallout, and Fallout 2, it was a good way to introduce me to a series I love. Although, I do admit, Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics are some of the most difficult, yet fun, games I've played
Morrowind would be my answer. (aproppos of TES: because of TES3 I utterly, completely, entirely, spectacularly, hated TES4... )SillyBear said:
And I wouldn't say it looks dated at all. Fire up a few texture replacer mods and - output to a decent tv - it has the power to isntill that same feeling of awe and wonder as it did when it first launched. With just a few mods it looks utterly incredible, and it makes you appreciate the original designs even more.
If not Morrowind, Dragon Age Origins, which I think is BioWare's very best action/adveture RPG. If not that? An old Amiga point'n'clicker called Dreamweb. Or the original Syndicate.
One 'favourite' is not nearly enough.
I love that game as well. One of the first games I've played. I'll admit though I do think Exoddus was a bit more manageable thanks to the quick-save feature. Still, they are both great games.joshperry94 said:
My personal favorite however, would have to be Shadow of the Colossus.
With it's simple yet engaging story, the vast world, the fantastic fights against the various colosi you meet, and it's beautiful soundtrack, it's something I keep finding myself playing over and over again. If you haven't played this game yet, you're missing out.
I don't have a favourite of all time, many games I will always remember for the great experience but I doubt they will last forever. My current favourite I think is Half-Life 2 for it's great design, really fast paced fluent game play, some of the great weapons and the many different interesting challenges I have fun playing over and over. It's far from perfect though. I find the story and characters just decent, lacks big boss fights and I didn't find the soundtrack good enough to chuck on my iPod.
I'd like to mention some past favourites; Super Smash Brothers Melee (probably played that for 1000 hours), Super Metroid (Greatest atmosphere for a 2D game by far) and Lineage II (before it was filled with bots it was awesome).

Shadow of the Colossus
Its achingly beautiful, totally unique and thought provoking like no other game with no words

Shadow of the Colossus.I honestly don't think I need to explain,but I'll just say a couple things.There are no flaws in the game,besides the frame rate.Anything you don't like was a carefully made design choice,and it just might not fit your tastes personally.The colossus fights are thrilling and beautiful,the landscape is gorgeous,the game makes the player think instead of just making him slog through to the end,and the soundtrack is bombastic.
star wars knights of the old republic
for me it took games onto another level and it taught me to read every little piece of info the game gives you.

Persona 4 and Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door.
Persona 4 because of the memorable characters and the interesting story.
Paper Mario because it was one of the first RPGs I played, the story was actually pretty good, the characters were memorable, and I really liked the overall atmosphere of the game.

Super Smash Bros Melee. I luvd that game from the first time I played it, in which case I spent over 15 hours straight just playing it. Probably would have been longer but I had to go to school. I have also played this game more then any other game I have ever had. Well except for maybe Halo 3, but its close, its really close.
Red Dead Redemption. Never before have i been so enthralled with just looking around a world. They nailed the music, sound, and look of the old west, and as someone who has literally walked around in a canyon in the west in the middle of the night, it resonated with me. Then built upon that is a great action game with responsive controls and some cool additions. The world is just so fun to mess around in that you can get lost for hours and not really accomplish a whole lot. And on top of THAT, there's a great story filled with social commentary, tragedy, and great characters. AND THEN there's the expansive multiplayer where you can ride around with your friends for hours terrorizing towns and fighting gangs. It's easily the most complete game i've ever played and one i love to go back and experience again and again.
The World Ends With You. I loved the story, I liked the characters (some people probably already can tell who my favorite is), I thought the art was cool and the soundtrack fun, and I really liked the gameplay. The pins were fun and I thought the method of combat was tons of fun as well, the clothing system originally wasn't that great but with the edition of my beloved after story extras they managed to become quite useful. And I think what really sets it apart for me are those very extras. Extra super hard boss, extra powerful items and pins, and lots of extra gotta catch em all kind of feeling.
Stick to Fallout3. Its high picture texture and sensitive operation, make me be deeply in love with it. Especial use the laser gun emit the laser pointers red beam shoot the enemies.
Portal 2. I've played it well over two dozen times and it still, still makes me laugh and puts me in a good mood long after I've put the controller down. Everything about that game is perfect. Perfect choice in voice actors, perfect dialogue and it managed to be hilariously funny without being stupid.
Also trying to get my parents (divorced) to come over and try their hand at the co-op. Neither of them are gamers but I want to see if portal's style of puzzles and humor can keep them in the same room for more than an hour. This little experiment has me kinda excited.

Majora's Mask. The LoZ series has had great games, while MM deviates from the norm just enough to make it unique and exciting, it also uses that uniqueness to exemplify the parts of this series which has made it a powerhouse in gaming and the definition of the action/adventure genre.
