For the moment, I'd have to go with Argonians. I don't usually like "Lizard-man" type races, but for some reason I make an exception for them. I like the bizarre lore behind them (they have some kind of symbiotic relationship with sentient trees that worship the god of chaos... ?), and I also like their clan-type culture and strange ways of speaking.
Other than that, I might go with Dwarves if I can choose only the ones from Dwarf Fortress. They are "strange creatures who balance out at 'happy' because on one hand their wife was eaten by elephants and on the other they just ate in a REALLY NICE dining room.".

I'm going with the Turians from Mass Effect. They're an entire race of badasses. But none of them can top Garrus:
I will say it til my face turns blue. Quarians are the best. But in all actuality, I'll side with ANYTHING from Mass Effect.
Protoss from Starcraft. In any of the novels or any of the games, they are beautifully written and have a keen mind and amazing abilities and race.
If I could be any alien race I'd be protoss as well.

I really like Rainbow Road /Troll
Seriously though, I would say the Orcs from Warcraft. If you read "Rise of the Horde", you find that they have a very interesting history and mythology behind them that makes them much more than human-hating barbarians that the games sort of make them out to be.

Erm, hmm...probably the Argonians from the Elder Scrolls games, or the Manaketes from Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones. So useful yet so useless at the same time.
Aside from Humans....I got quite a few.
I think I have a preference for Avian Humanoids and Reptilian Humanoids. Not furry territory but more of "Holy shit that looks awesome".

I know you all have valid opinions of what the best race is, and i truly liked almost all of them.... but:
Oh i'm sorry.... did you forgot about the Allmighty Gorons?
Summing everything up they are travellers, fighters, dancers, happy adventurers, strong and gentle, emotional and honorous creatures.
From the different creative designs to the incredible abilities of the gorons (Rock and roll, and Lava/ fire/ heat Immunity)!
For me Gorons truly are one of the best races in any gaming universe!!!
