Such a hard question.

Gran Turismo series as far as NON-PC racers go.
ICO gets most underrated game ever award, as well as the most emotional game.
Diablo2 gets a prize for addictiveness, i wasted more time than i care to think about on it.
RPG goes to FF7, even though it is very short (for a Final Fantasy) it effected me emotionaly more than any game (bar ICO) and invokes powerful nostalgia. Best game ever? Perhaps.
Metal Gear Solid very short, only lasted about 10 play-throughs, but the first time through it was utterly involving unlike anything else (bar ICO).
Pro Evolution Socccer series gets best sports game EASILY, utterly brilliant.


In total, i would say ICO, simply because it is just so special, if you havent played it before, do so now, you must, do it in a dark room late at night, utterly surreal and touching.

Baldurs Gate and it's expansions was one of the most addictive for me. Hours upon hours were spent on it. Diablo 2 was great too but the graphics on mine looked nothing like what was on the box or in magazines.....all the characters seemed really pixelated.

Silent Hill was pretty good too, I enjoyed it more than the Resident Evil series, it was just so damn creepy.

Guys, I just wana know what games made it for you. Anytime within the emergence of video cards till now, really.

I would have to say my ultimate favourite game would be Deus Ex. It had a plot that literally left me speechless whenever someone brought it up. Its detail to history, religion, politics, and philosophy are bar none. An absolutely flawless plot and relevant backup too. I swear if they end up release Deus Ex on film, they had better not fuck it up, basing it on shitty action scenes.
It would be very nice if they published it as a novel *drools*

Gameplay is excellent because of the plot, graphics were mighty fine for its time. But the AI is so stupid you could pat em on the head 3 times before they turned around. Features are tops. I love Deus Ex. When I get my new system, the first thing I'm gona install is DX2 mwuahahahaha
Deus Ex was a really great game, but i have to admit that all three endings for it sucked dick majorly
