Depends, in fallout 3 it was always the head 'cos I might aswell just get them killed A.S.A.P.
In other games I will go for the body 'cos it's the biggest target.
In MGS, were you could hold people up, I would go for the gun arm, one leg and there radio. I am a mean person, aren't I?

I always aim for the head unless I'm in a tight spot, in which case I am for the largest target, i.e. the torso. I usually take a sniper/stealthy approach to any FPS anyway, so headshots are the best way to go. There's nothing more satisying in a game of Halo 3 than getting a series of headshots on the Brutes that are down below where they can't see you hiding above... ;D
Shoot their arms and they drop their guns and get lower accuracy with all weapons.
Shoot the gun and it breaks, dealing less damage, on top of the wielder dropping it.
Shoot their legs and they get crippled and can't run as fast.
It's pretty situational, but unless you're on hard or very hard, just pop their heads.

Mostly the chest. It's a big target, but doesn't do as much damage as the head. I don't know why... maybe it's because I'm so used to Gears of War where they explode when you shoot them in the chest with the shotgun, plus their heads are tiny.
Sometimes in Fallout, I'd go for the legs, then get them to limp near to some cars. Then exploderise the cars and victim. True, I lost out on experience. And loot.
But it was so pretty when it worked with a group of Talon mercs.

Depends...
If it's a fast enemy, I aim for the legs. If the enemy has a powerfull weapon, I aim for the arms. But usually I aim for that part of the body that has the highest percentage.
I'm actually replaying the game right now.

In Fallout I go for the head. If it's a Deathclaw and I don't have the Dart Gun I aim to cripple the legs so I can kite around it. If I have the Dart Gun I continue for the head.
Other games I aim for the upper torso so that I have a chance of landing a headshot and lower my risk of missing by just going for the headshot.

Head, always the head. The only time I have ever shot at anything else is when I am bored and want to be a sadistic git towards some pixelated NPC, then I might shoot something else. But if I am ever actually playing it's the head every time.
In Fallout 3, always the head. Sure, you can cripple the body, but an alternate and often quicker way of making them drop their weapon is making them dead. When I shoot freehand, it's the torso, in V.A.T.S., it's the head. Ironsights depends on the gun and the distance.
Fallout 2 though, once you have the proper weapon and stats, it's all about the eyes. Pair this with your lethal joke weapon (I'll spare you from TVTropes... this time), the Red Ryder LE BB Gun, and you're ripping apart Enclave soldiers with BBs.

My VATS target of choice would have to be either the head, or the dick...or whatever genitals the mutants have left...
In most FPS's, I aim for the body, or if possible, the head. Ie: Goldeneye is a little hard to pull of headshots, compared to letting auto-aim pick off the torso. Killer7, on the other hand, the time saved by hitting the head can make the difference between the Smile laughing and spraying blood, and me eating an explosion.
