PSVita: Persona 4 Golden
PSP: Persona 3 Portable (well actually I got it for my Vita through the PSNstore but it is still a PSP title)
Gameboy Color: Pokemon Blue (Damn you internal battery T_T)

I like this twist.
PS Vita - Persona 4 Golden
[sub]Runner Up - Gravity Rush[/sub]
My absolute all time favorite game. Damn near flawless in my opinion, I love the story, the characters, the gameplay, just everything. And the music is the best video game soundtrack I've ever heard. I would elaborate further, but I've done it too many times before.
PS3 - The Last of Us
[sub]Runner Up - inFamous 2[/sub]
This emotional roller coaster was just fantastic. It took the done-to-death zombie apocalypse setting and somehow created a brilliant tale of companionship and brutality. The gameplay really reinforced just how brutal and difficult survival was in this world - which I loved.
PS2 - Kingdom Hearts
[sub]Runner Up - Ratchet and Clank 3[/sub]
This game was my childhood favourite. I replayed it countless times as a child and I still love it every bit as much today. The HD version that was released last year is just superb and I look forward to playing the rest of the series when 2.5 HD Remix comes out. I never would have thought a Disney and Final Fantasy mash up would work, but boy am I glad it did.
PC - Fallout: New Vegas
[sub]Runner Up - Dark Souls[/sub]
Really difficult to choose my favourites here, I have a ton of PC games I love. New Vegas wins for me because not only did it have the wonderful open world exploration of a Bethesda game, but it had good writing, some great characters and companions (<3 Veronica) and delicious dialogue choices. Oh such delicious dialogue, I am so glad I levelled my speech up in that game. So much more worth it than in the likes of Skyrim. Also it has some of the best expansion packs I've ever played.
PSP - Persona 3 Portable
[sub]Runner Up - Burnout Legends[/sub]
What can I say, I love these games. Part social simulator, part dungeon crawler, all awesome. The first two thirds of Persona 3 were definitely inferior to its successor, however it really came together in the final portion of the game. The ending is beautiful yet heartbreaking at the same time.

Not a problem.
1. Chrono Cross (ps2)
Yikes, that takes several others off the list. Oh well, I can go on.
2. Legend of Zelda: OoT (N64)
It's either that or Perfect Dark
3. Metal Gear Solid (gamecube)
Ha, thanks Twin Snakes I can get it on the list.
4. Tie Fighter (PC)
the Star Wars vector graphics game in the sit down cabinet with the steering yolk got me into gaming... this is a great tribute to that.
ugghhh, no great consoles left. I'll have to go with the best of the rest.
5. Metroid Prime 3 (wii)
HaHa... every other console is inferior to the Wii. But seriously, Fire Emblem and Monster Hunter get pretty close on this console too.
***Edit***
I'll admit it's an edit. I effed up, Chrono Cross is PSX not ps2. It was early, sorry. That's puts a lot of games back up for grabs (sorry Prime 3 and wii, you're off the list.) Guess I'll put Shadows of the Colossus up there between Zelda and MGS. If I were to go by amount of play, it would be GTA:SA, but gotta go with Colossus for epic quality.

1. FFVII (PSX)
2. Valkyria Chronicles (PS3)
3. Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii)
Then there could be a few so I will just name 2 more
Soul Calibur (DC)
To the moon (PC)
That was pretty easy most of my favourite games are on different systems it seems and it doesnt effect my top 3 anyway.

4. Persona 4 Golden (PS Vita)
5. Phoenix Wright Trilogy (iPhone) - It may look like I'm cheating, but there's only one button on the screen so it's technically one game. One game split into three fantastic bits. I trust there are no objections, Mr Wright?

Let's see here...
5. Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland- Game Boy Advanced. I've beaten this game more than other. I've lost track of how many times I've beaten this game. Being portable, easy, and really damn fun, it's easy to see why.
4. Metroid Prime- GameCube. Best Metroid. Ever.
3. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker- Wii U. The first Zelda I managed to beat all by myself. Which isn't too impressive considering how easy it is. However, it gave me a feeling of adventure that few other games can. A large world dotted with islands that all have something to do on them. It also has the best Zelda aesthetic. (Yes. I changed it too Wii U so I could put Metroid Prime on the list.)
2. Persona 4 Golden- PS Vita. A friend of mine forced me to play the PS2 version a few months back. I'm very happy she did. Ever since I've been pretty obsessed with Shin Megami Tensei games. I beat SMT: 4 for the 3DS, Persona 4, Persona 4 Golden, and I'm currently working my way through Persona 3 FES. Though, I doubt any of them will hold a candle to how blown away I was by Persona 4.
1. Dragon Age: Origins/Awakening -PC. Played this game more than any other rpg. It was the first game I ever really gotten into the modding scene on. I've tried just about all the good mods and A LOT of the bad ones. Lastly, it's set in a fantastically built world. (Back when I didn't know most Qunari look like stupid demon people)
Edit: I didn't put any games in here that would require multiplayer for me to have fun. It'd look a lot different if I did that.

The Walking Dead Season 1 (PC)
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (360)
Halo: Combat Evolved (Xbox)
Pokemon Ruby (GBA)
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 (PS2)
I haven't really though too much about games on platforms that I no longer actively use, but I do love these games.

Well... PC is going to be the hardest choice, but:
1. Dragon Age: Origins (PC)
2. Heavy Rain (PS3)
3. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney (Nintendo DS)
4. Final Fantasy VIII (PS1)
5. Pokemon Snap (N64) (End on a silly answer.. teeheehee)

Huh, nice twist OP, makes it a bit more interesting. In no particular order then
Sonic The Hedgehog 1 (SEGA Mega Drive)
Persona 4 (PS2)
Viva Pinata (Xbox 360)
Football Manager (PC)
Jet Set Radio (Dreamcast)
I tried to go with ones that are associated (if not exclusive) to one platform.

Megaman 2 (NES)
Kriby 64 (N64) (not actually the best game I ever played on N64, but still my personal favorite)
Megaman Battle Network (GBA) (all of them)
Either .Hack or Persona (PS2)
TF2 (PC)
Funny thing is I thought this would be challenging when I first read it since I'm primarily a PC gamer. Turns out I had trouble figuring out which consoles to even choose from.

PC: Baldur's gate 2, one of the best RPG of all time of all systems, it is incontestable.
Super Nintendo: Mortal Kombat 2, one of the first mortal kombat on snes that have blood inaddition the one of the game I played most at the time.
PSX: Tekken 2
PS2: Soul calibur 2
PS3: Tekken tag 2
What can I say? I game mostly with friends, in the same room while having beer.

This was actually really hard, but here is what I decided on in the end
Persona 4 Golden (PSVita)
Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask (N64)
Metroid Fusion (GBA)
Silent Hill 2 (PS2)
Dead Space (PC)
For the last 3, I just really like the way they managed the stalking monster concept.
The SA-X is why for me Metroid Fusion is better than Super Metroid, it turns it into a bit of a horror game. Adding tension that at any moment this unstoppable monster could pop up and you have to get away as fast as possible.

This is going to be tricky for me, because I've never owned a console so I'm going to be very limited in my choices for a couple of them. Here goes though:
1. Dragon Age: Origins, plus the Awakening expansion (PC)
[small]My undisputed favourite game of all time, though it saddens me to have to jettison so many other great PC games. Under normal circumstances this list would be overwhelmingly PC focussed[/small]
2. Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 (Xbox 360)
[small]Another tough choice, but this edges out the competition due to the phenomenal amount of fun I've had playing this with friends at our "MvC3 parties"[/small]
3. Pokemon Red (Gameboy Colour)
[small]The first game I ever played, so this has a special place in my heart. Unusually, this was also my first experience of a roguelike, as I had to play on my friend's Gameboy so I couldn't ever save my game[/small]
4. Plants vs. Zombies (Android smartphone)
[small]Maybe slightly cheating as I originally played this on PC, but the number of hours I've sunk into this is ridiculous. So addictive![/small]
5. Mario Kart (Arcade)
[small]The major draw of going bowling when I was younger was that the bowling alley had this game. I've never really played any (non-Pokemon) Nintendo games in any other context, but this was always a whole lot of fun (and I was good at it, which helped
)[/small]
