Ocarina of Time (it's a classic, and everything about it is as perfect as you could get on the 64), Metroid Prime (the atmosphere, the exploration, and all the extra shit you could scan made this a great game), and Paper Mario TTYD (bet you didn't see this one coming. This is the best RPG I've ever played with it's clever writing and immersive battle system, plus the obscene amount of stuff there is to do).
Yeah, they're all Nintendo games. Maybe it means something about Nintendo.

This thead just made me realize all of my first five favorite games are single player... yeah what that say about me, any way!
1: OKAMI
Your running around as a demi-god lesbian wolf that uses it tail as a paintbrush to use spell, fighting of uniquely designed demons and boss monsters in a very well realized world with some good side questing and item to collect. All I can say is Whats not to like?
2: Shadow of the Colossus
We have all played it and im getting tired of typing about it here, and if you haven't played it check it out.

hmm..
well overall
id say mass effect 1 (2 was epic, but 1 sent shivers down my spine like no other)
kotor (this game had my jaw dropped on the twist, then i had a splurge of nerdgasm awesomeness)
and strangely enough i might have to say battlefront 2, i played the single player/conquest part of that game so damn much, straight up someone would think im training for the return of the sith or some shit.

In no particular order:
The World Ends With You
Metroid Prime (the first one)
Portal
Honorable Mentions:
Mass Effect 1 and 2
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker
Assassin's Creed 2
Coincidentally, these constitute may overall favorite games. There's something about multiplayer games, even the best out there, that prevents me from considering them as great games.

I've already mentioned all of these on the site, but despite my rather static choices I'll share the list in case someone out there cares
1. Morrowind: I simply adore the creative world Bethesda crafted, and I've never had trouble with bugs in this particular iteration of their sandbox. I've put well over 1,000 hours into exploring vanilla Morrowind, and with mods included it can only go up from there.
2. Dwarf Fortress: Nothing out there comes even close to the ambition of this game. If you can get over reading things in ASCII, some of the richest worlds around are available in near infinite number. Projects that encourage emergent gameplay fascinate me(see also: Mount & Blade) and this freebie is no different.
I gladly donated to its creator. It's hard to believe with all the possibilities already out there, it has only a third of the planned features.
3. Riven: Forget Shadow of the Colossus. This title is my chief argument against Mr. Ebert's immortal claim. It's a visual treat with a rich story, and now it's available on Steam, too.

Good Question...
Morrowind, of course.
Mass Effect
And yea, I'll just lump every good Zelda game into my last entry.

The three best single player games of all time. That's a difficult question, but I'll give it a go.
<color=red>Kingdom Hearts 2
Where to even begin for KH2? The stunning variety of worlds and characters? The superb combat system? The customization and plotline? This game had it all, and I'll remember it forever.
<color=red>Minecraft
Ah, Minecraft. I considered not putting this on the list, since it's not even in beta yet, but the game is glorious. Your adventures in it can last forever, your experiences simultaneously daunting and conquerable. A simple quest to get a bit of sand to make some glass can lead to the discovery of a tremendous cave system, a stunning vista, or a pack of deadly monsters, or perhaps all three. The game lasts as long or as short as you want to play it for however long you have to play. Plus, there will be so much more as time goes on. Indie gaming at its finest.
<color=red>The Witcher
This is how you make a plot-based RPG, full stop. From the in-depth character customization to the wondrous setting, story, characters, creatures, and more, The Witcher is a great example of what happens when everything happens correctly in game design. Well, the combat designers may have took a few too many coffee breaks, but that's the only flaw in an otherwise amazing game.

1st: Final Fantasy X
Simply because of the storyline and character development.
2nd: Starcraft II
Same as above, and because of the awesome, well designed gameplay.
3rd: Legend of Zelda
Simply because I like this series so much. All of these games on the N64 and Gamecube (including Twilight Princess) are well designed and have an epic-ness factor to them along with the fact that they are not completely hack and slash.
Honorable mention:
Final Fantasy 7, 'nuff said.
Yes I am a jrpg fan, and I'm proud of it.
