For me it's Jet Set Radio Future. I played and replayed it many, many times. I still get the urge to play it. My first copy was on that dual disc that came with the original xbox and so my 360 wouldn't play it. I called several different game stores to see if they had a copy of the single game. Ended up traveling to a store in another state to get it: a disc without it's case! I logged a great many hours into that copy, that's for sure. I think it's just because the whole game is so pretty and has a fun soundtrack.
It was the first game that I logged more than 10 hours into. Mostly, this was because it was on the first "real" console we had gotten (xbox when it first came out) and games were very expensive, too expensive to buy a ton of new ones for several months after we got it.
We use to have a N64, and I would play Zelda OoT, but I was a chicken and couldn't do the whole action-adventure genre. It was just too scary for me. I've gone back to it from time to time since I've gotten the Wii. Very good game, I like it more with each play through.
Lately (as in the past few years) it's been Aquaria. I love that game! So much replay value, for me at least. I think it's the easy controls and mesmerizing sound track. Kinda a theme with the games I like.

This question doesn't really work for online games since they tend to become wastelands eventually but for me:
Team fortress classic.
Oooooh the memories.
I didn't exactly buy it on day 1 but I played daily until the day valve pulled the plug. You think qeueing at your local gamestop for a midnight launch has a nice community vibe to it? Try being one of the few players left on the day the developers pull the plug.
I had loads of great in-game friends and since there were not much servers left we all played on the same ones. Consequently we were on first name basis with all the admins, I even was an admin myself on one of them.
When the news came all servers were to be shut down it was as if the end of the world was announced. All hostilities (some servers, clans and players didnt really get along) stopped, servers started making donator-only stuff free and all sorts of final countdown and final tournament events were organised. It was like the end of return of the jedi or something. Nobody i knew in real life understood what I was on about though, since none of them played team fortress classic.
Ofcourse, since we were the last people in the world still playing you can imagine we were also pretty darn good at the game. So it was no surprise that those last tournaments were some of the most insane skillplay I have seen to this day. Not to mention spectacular. Trust me, rocket jumps etc. in tf2 are nice but they have NOTHING on their tf classic equivalents. A fight between 2 good soldiers could take minutes and was like cloud vs sephiroth in advent children, except with crappy graphics. If you think I'm exagerating, google "conc jumps".
I know you shouldn't get stuck in a moment but the spirit of those final days is something I carry with me to this day.

TimeSplitters...just because setting things alight whilst playing as a fish robot thing is just awesome.
Mass Effect 1 and 2, interesting and makes being a jerk fun and sometimes a good choice.
Pokemon, it may be the same game over and over again, but there is something almost additive about it.
The Elders Scrolls...Nords and Dark Elves for the win!
Also Fallout 3 and New Vegas, just because travelling around the wastes with nothing but pipe and Pjs has potential.
