Morrowind. When I first looked over the water in Seyda Neen, and saw a rich and beautiful landscape shrouded with fog. Then I realised I could do anything.

I've just turned the light off and I'm turning down the brightness, all on my new overpowered PC. You've inspired me. I'm going to experience City 17 one more time.

I loved both of those, but my ultra-amazing moment in that game was the ending - I've never hammered 'X' so hard in my life.
Huh. You know, I didn't find it to be that special... it was, after all, very similar to the first one.

But then the music kicked in and it became awesome.
DA nanana Dananana... chicka chicka...
DA nanana Da nanana.... woooooooowmmmm

Everything in that game was awesome really though. The first Roach/Soap mission (snowmobile fun), the Washington levels, Ramirez Get To Burgertown... all sweeeet.

Infamous you can be a man of the people a force for good that save the city and is loved by all the people init. or you can do what you want when you want and if anybody is in your way you can kill them. You can become a symbol and be loved or become a god and have it all. this game or Bioshock 8D

Oblivion.
I'd never seen a trailer for it and the only thing I knew is that my friends had it (I was late in getting it. 3 years late in fact).
So, I got it and I loved how you could make your own character and the beginning was interesting (escaping the Imperial dungeon) but as soon as I stepped out and saw this massive world, full of different people, races (all sounding the same though, lol) I was hooked.
And still am.

Brütal Legend. Like a lot of other people I found it frustrating at first, and the stage battles overwhelming. But after repeatedly trying and failing to beat one of the stage battles, not really doing much myself, I thought maybe I'd try some of the solos. I used facemelter on a group of Gravediggers and everything clicked. The combat, the double teams, the commands, the solos - it all slotted into place in my mind, and I understood immediately just how much effort had been put into making the mechanics of the game fit together so well.

Having worked out how to play the stage battles, I went on to finally beat the mission Doom's Dawn, followed by the rest of the campaign, went onto the multiplayer, and never looked back. Best goddamn game ever.

Assassin's Creed II when Ezio meets Mario. I know it's cheesy and silly but that's when I felt genuinely attached to the game. That's what made me fall in love with it, not when it became one of my favourite games, mind.
Hmm for me it was Ezio's mother making jokes about vaginas... it was then I sighed in relief that the game had more charm and character in its first 30 minutes than the entire previous game.

What did you do first? I headed straight for that Ayleid ruin across the river and got my ass kicked by bandits.

Not off all time sorry but this year: Going into Mexico in Red Dead with one of the best video game songs I have heard, beautiful.

Pity the game never explained that to us. I got so fed up with those stage battles, and the manual was no help at all.

I was crazy about Halo CE as I met my first 2 grunts... Which I both headshotted as a panic-reaction when they startled me.

Yeah, I think generally if you're going to take a genre in a new direction, you need to ramp up the explanations and tutorials tenfold, or people are going to end up confused. But I stuck with it, due to loving Schafer's previous games, and I think it's such a shame that so many people ended up dropping the game because of its seemingly-complicated gameplay, because this is the most well-designed game I've played in a long, long time.

I thought that Pauper's Drop and Siren Alley were close. Nothing else was even near Bioshock levels. Hopefully Bioshock Infinite will have the same great feeling as the first.
Well for me the charm was the completely original setting, so I'd bet Infinite will at least have a similar sense of mystery and wonder about it.

Let's hope so anyway, and that they make the combat more fun (protecting the little sisters was pure ass)

Just watching the intro of Persona 3 caused me to fall in love...

And then everything about the game after that made me realize that this wasn't a summer fling, but true romance

...I bought the damn thing on a whim too... after watching the X-Play review [only gave it 3/5]

Sega Rally Revo? The moment I started playing with a race wheel, which was the first time. The game is the perfect arcade racer.

5:15, there you go!

OT:

Oblivion. The moment I first realized the depth of the games' systems. I can pay the fine, not just immediately get into a fight with guards? I can even choose to go to jail! Custom spells? HELL YEAH! Poisoning my weapons? Go ahead. Pickpocketing a key from someone on the road, finding their house in another town hours later, and breaking in? Done!
