Fallout 3!! I absolutely adore every aspect of it; the post apocalyptic setting, the terrific period music, the few noteworthy characters (Liam Neeson), the fun combat, the mild horror at least initially and the wealth of locations to explore. Now if only my pc version stopped crashing...
I don't have just one fav. I like different games for different reasons. here's some of my favs for specific generes.
Platforming: Donkey Kong country. beautiful graphics (for the time), great music, and tight controls.
RPG: Morrowind. I've sunk over 600 hours into this game and i don't regret it.
JRPG: Persona. Its the game that got me into RPG's.
Shooter: Resident Evil 4. I've played this game over and over again but its still fun
Mixed: Castlevania SOTN. soooo many secrets.
Horror: Sillent Hill 2. Great story, great graphics, creepy soundtrack, and one of the few games that made me dread what was coming around the corner.

Streets of Rage 2. When it first came it it blew me away with graphics, sound and it was just awesome to play. Plus it was old-skool hard when you cranked up the difficulty. But what makes it my favorite game of all time is that almost twenty years on it is still as fun to play as it was back then and that is the mark of a truly great game.
Hmmmm, I'm going to have to say Bioshock, a brilliant, believable plot with compelling characters, satirising of ideologies, and a plot twist midway through that I for one didn't see coming and was amazed by.
This was a game that didn't, at least when it came to stories and themes (if not gameplay which was easy as pie), treat you like an idiot, it recognised that gamers are usually intelligent people who want ideas to be contemplated at least slightly in their games. Plus the graphics were, for their time, fantastic.
Another favourite of mine is an old PS2 game called Spy vs. Spy.

Lemmings for DOS, it was one of the first games I ever played at the wee age of 4, and I still love it today. I can play it for days and I never get tired of it. ^^
Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance, closely followed by Morrowind. I'm rubbish at online play, but bot stomping with friends provided many memorable moments. Some good, some bad, but all hilarious.
Definitely Ninja Gaiden Black for me, with Final Fantasy 11 close behind. Black had
-ninja dog
-Normal
-Hard
-Very hard
-Master ninja
difficulties and out of the 100,000 people that registered with the leaderboards before server went down, only 150 of us beat the game on master ninja. just retarded difficult lol
And each difficulty added shitload new enemies, bunch of new bosses etc, amazing game.

Metroid Prime
The music, the atmosphere, the loneliness, the everything, it all pleases me so much. I must have analyzed several million layers of subtext and how everything it does just strengthens the experience. The visuals have been stylized in such a way that it will always look good; every inch I see and every byte of sound I hear is just absolute bliss, I just, oh, I love it so much.
Although I have to say, Bioshock Infinite has come dangerously close to knocking Samus off her throne a couple of times. I'd say the only reason it hasn't is because I found Metroid Prime first.

Final Fantasy VII for the Playstation.
I have never been good at electing a favourite anything. This is the one I have enjoyed the most for the longest time. When I was a teenager and the first games that I actually enjoyed playing in years were Steep Slope Sliders and Chrono Trigger, FFVII made me a gamer again. I just had to play something like it. So I played other Final Fantasy games then other RPGs.

Persona 4 without a doubt,as previously said, the characters play a hell of a role in making that game and the calendar/social link aspects were unique to the series and made it stand out, however the thing that wraps it all together is that damn brilliant atmosphere.
The music, the bright colorful lighting and the change and contrast from bright and chirpy tone to mysterious and horror does so much to suck you in.

Asura's Wrath is my favorite game of all time. Sure the game is immensely short even with the part 4 dlc and the 2 lost episodes and most of the time it's in cutscene/ QTE mode, but the unique thing about the game is the fact it's more story based than gameplay unlike most hack & slash and beat em ups. Also the fights were epic! What other game has a first boss the size of the Earth and you kill him by punching his finger! And he's the weakest of the demigod bosses. Heck, you fight Ryu and Akuma from Street Fighter, one of the first fighting games. The only thing that could make this better is dlc against Goku, Dante (Devil May Cry), Amaterasu (Okami), Viewtiful Joe (Viewtiful Joe), and Megaman (Old school Megaman or Megaman X) and i'll die happy.
Honorable mentions
Okami
Resident Evil 4

I'm struggling between Rick Dangerous, Operation Wolf, 3d tennis and Rockman...fuck it, i'll say Rockman since it was the first of a long line of puzzle games of that style and i would still play it through today.
Seriously though, nothing since the late 80's/early 90's has kept me interested like those games. Modern games are just too fucking easy to be my favourite

Shadow of the Colossus. A game with nothing but traveling across a beautiful landscape and having epic fights with giant colossi in order to bring back the soul of your beloved. It's a fantastic game and I always find myself playing through it again and again.

ICO
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee
Valkyria Chronicles
Final Fantasy IX
