Jumpstarted mainstream FPS games for consoles. Doom, Quake, Half Life, etc were already massively popular on the PC and predated Halo. Halo CE brought forward nothing new, other than an entire generation of new unsuspecting console gamers who thought it was revolutionary.TheTaco007 said:

yeah HL2 rules but HL1 is still awesome and a great game.

Probably have to be as follows:
1. Halo (great 1st person shooter with tight controls, still pretty first timer friendly)
2. Any of the early Spyro games. (Bright and colorful with lots of lively characters)
3. KOTOR (Say what you will about any of BioWare's earlier or later titles, this for me is what brought them to center stage, and was my first taste of RPGs)
4. Mass Effect (Building on what made previous BioWare RPGs great, and making it even better)
5. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (An absolutely brilliant and beautiful platformer with great characters that is a shining example of games as art.
Just my thoughts.

I would say, just to be completely random: Stubbs the Zombie: Rebel Without A Pulse, Killer7, Pikmin 2, Star Wars Battlefront II and Deathsmiles XD Best games evar!!! (EDIT: Noob Alert)
Deus Ex is the pinnacle of game design. Everything else is trivial. But if I have to pick 5;
2. Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!
3. Portal
4. Minecraft
5. Super Mario 64

To be honest I have no idea how this list is different from a personal top five list. The kind that have been around for ages. It's certainly named something else, but I'm not seeing the difference. Unless this is really supposed to be the five games we thing represent various genres of gaming, or gaming in particular. Which then you should have asked the game we think best represents various categories.
We have very different ideas about how the word mature should be used.Hammeroj said:
1) Halo 2
2) Deus Ex
3) Portal+Portal 2 (I consider them one game because of Portal's length)
4) Half Life 2
5) Mass Effect or Knights of the Old Republic. Both would be best, but I only have five games to work with here.
Honorable Mention:
Bioshock
Limbo
Call of Duty 4
LA Noire

Screw detachment, I am going to be as biased as hell and just go with my favourite games, rather than ones people should play.
1: Ocarina of Time (Look at my avatar. What else would be top of the list?)
2: Portal (Never has a game riding on a single mechanic been so fun)
3: Mass Effect Trilogy (All the tedious vehicle segments and mining in the world couldn't persuade me not to play these games again)
4: Super Mario Galaxy (either really, they're both the same. Still, bloody great experiences)
5: Professor Layton series (Because a gentleman can never have enough puzzles)

1. Tetris
2. A complicated stealth game that someone who's never played a game before will be confused beyond belief playing (and probably be put off gaming completely).
3. A 'classic' Nintendo game because it's a personal favourite of mine and I have no originality.
4. My favourite RPG.
5. My favourite FPS.

How the hell did I miss Metroid Prime!? Such a great games, has the best bosses I've ever encountered, such a great setting, and, despite it's appearence, it's subtle hints present a far greater story than Other M's constant exposition.TheSchizoid said:
My top 5 "everyone should play this" are:
1.) Super Mario Bros. The original NES game.
2.) Metroid Prime Tilogy. Yes, the Trilogy edition, on the Wii. The best example of how motion controls should work, especially for a first person title. And also because it's awesome.
3.) Bioshock, the epitome of narration within a first person perpective and a hell'uva fun game.
4.) Half-Life 2, almost for the same reason as Bioshock.
5.) Plants vs. Zombies, the most accesible strategy game ever created.
