No order...

Kirby Adventures for NES
Homeworld
Half-life 2: Deathmatch
Team Fortress Classic
Asheron's Call

Bioshock - Most immersive video game narrative I have ever seen, the attention to detail and atmosphere was pristine.

Super Metroid - One of the two best 2D platformers I have ever played.

Castlevania SOTN - The other.

Final Fantasy 7 - I don't think it holds up as well in hindsight (played through it again last year), but when it came out it basically signified a sea-change in gaming for me where things went from simple to much more complex and immersive. I don't think games like Bioshock could have happened without FF7.

GTA4 - Perhaps a controversial addition, but it is the pinnacle of the series (IMO). Brilliant narrative that rivals and/or beats the bulk of Hollywood crime movies, the first game I've played that makes me feel as much a part of the action as I wish the MGS series did, and a nearly flawless online multiplayer experience that deserves props if for nothing other than being able to handle an immense amount of players right out the box.

Can't narrow it down to 5.

Super Mario Brothers (NES) - The only not handheld console I've ever had in my life was a shitty pirate version of NES, except it brought something like 300 built-in games on it. From those 300, this was the game I spent most time on. I spent absolutely countless hours on it while I was a kid.

Microprose Grand Prix 2 (PC) - First serious racing game I got into, I even bought a wheel for it, except at the time I didn't have the slightest clue how to be fast, lol. It could be modded up to infinity thanks to some external applications, allowing me to run weird fantasy F1 championships, and I still have it installed nowadays - they just released a mini version of the Nurburgring Nordschleiffe for it!

Sensible World of Soccer (PC) - Amazingly fun football game. Not very realistic in tactical terms, but the gameplay was AWESOME (unbelievable considering you only used the 4 arrow keys and the spacebar), you had right about every single relevant team in the world to pick from, and you could even play 15-year careers as a manager, making transfers and anything. Fantastic.

Mortal Kombat 3 (PC) - Used to play this with my friends while as a 8-12 year old kid, this and all the Mortal Kombat series games, really. Writing down all the combinations for special moves we could discover, ftw.

Championship Manager 99/00 (PC) - Incredibly addicting football management game. There were many good games from this superb series but this was the one I spent more time with. Still remember all the good players we could buy, Kennedy Bakircioglu, Mads Jorgensen, Andri Sigporsson, Zlatan Ibrahimovic (!), Kurniawan, etc etc...

Worms Armageddon (PC) - Lots of fun in the final highschool year as we'd convince our computer programming teacher to play this on the class LAN instead. Hilarious game.

Unreal Tournament (PC) - The LAN game in the first two years of college. I was never too much of a FPS fan, but this one was particularly fun.

Football Manager 2005 (PC) - From the same series as CM99/00, after being renamed to Football Manager. The game had become far more detailed but still very fun, I remember winning the world cup with Croatia as my greatest management achievement of all time.

Pro Evolution Soccer 6 (PC) - Great graphics, great gameplay, and amazingly realistic even on a tactical sense. The best football game i've ever played, it's such a shame that the latest version (PES2007) ruined it a little bit.

Microprose Grand Prix 4 (PC) - Not a great game out of the box, but with the latest mods it looks superb and drives great. Probably still the best Formula 1 game around, unfortunately it can't be used for online play - but the excellent AI makes up for it. I got so much into it that I spent months making a track, just released it last month.

Grand Prix Legends (PC) - I've already booked it in my schedule to become the next addiction. Released in 1998(!), but the physics are still absolutely amazing, if a bit too hard! Real drivers have said these cars are harder to drive than the actual 1967 F1 cars it is based on. My goal is to beat the benchmark time in every single original track, so far I've only done it for one of the shortest tracks, and it took me over 200 laps of practice...

Originally posted by Capitalizt runner up: Zelda - Wind Waker for the Gamecube...my favorite Zelda game. I had more fun with this than Ocarina of Time. It may have a kiddy look, but the gameplay is the most polished of any Zelda title, The game is simply beautiful and has a grand scale that no other Zelda game has touched. Just when you think you are nearing the end of the adventure, the game throws you a loop and an entirely new world opens up with 30 more hours of gameplay Awesome.

Never played this one before, as I never had a GC, but I just got a copy of this game yesterdy, and started it last night on the Wii. I played for about 30 mins b4 I crashed for the night and it seems like its gonna be fun. The look of the characters with the big eyes is different for sure

Stick with it. You start off with very limited abilities and weapons, and you build them up slowly over the course of the game. In a few hours once you get a new sword and train with this old dude, you will be kicking ass and taking names with mad slashing and spinning skillz. And if you get tired of the sailing, you'll find a way around that too. Remember the teleporting flute from Super Mario 3?
