Saints Row 2 because the storyline is good, its funny, the gameplay mechanics work, soundtrack is solid and its just an all around entertaining game.

then for a second............. id have to go with....... Tenchu Z. even though its a hella simple game, graphics arent the best for a 360 game, but its a good stealth game, and plus almost anything with ninjas is good. (depends on how the ninjas r used)

Shadow of the Colossus and Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Though Ocarina is still fantastic, Twilight Princess just holds more charm for me.

For me personally, the games i've invested the most amount of time and effort into;

The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time / Majora's Mask

I bought both of them at/near release and played them for weeks, i still to this day listen to the soundtracks for nostalgic value, and if only i could find the motherf*cking cable for my N64, i'd probably play through them a couple of times more.

Yoshi's Island and FF6(chrono trigger may replace that eventually).

close contenders are Zelda LttP ,Shadow of the Colossus, Majora's Mask and Tales of games. There are so many to chose from, that it can't be listed properly

Ninja Gaiden 2 and Killer 7.

I like the shooting gameplay and really deep story of Killer 7.
I cant really think of any other reason to like Ninja Gaiden 2 other than it's just really fun to play

Battlefield 2142.

Can't pick a second one because there are just too many.
it's fun. but it takes forever to level up past the first couple unlocks. also the netcode & hitboxes are way inaccurate. they better fix that on the next one if they want to stand a chance against the CoD series.

Prince of Persia the Sands of Time and Portal.
I own Prince of Persia SoT, and have played the flash version of portal, but stopped play PoP SoT around the 80% marker, and never made it very far on portal, for the same reason. Frustration. They are puzzles, which I am not very good at. With some games, you can learn new combos, or train more, or just stock up on ammo or something depending on the game. But puzzles generally only have one combination, which I am not good at finding. Well, prince of Persia I stopped because I got tired of dieing during the fight in the tower.
*shrug* Different opinions. I have no idea about the flash version of Portal. Maybe it's not very good. But for me Portal itself is a near perfect game.

As for Prince of Persia SoT I think it's the best game I've ever played for a few reasons.

First, it has the best platforming I've ever seen in a game. In fact, it's simply unmatched. No other series has ever created the same feeling of flow while still being challenging and varied in it's platforming. Not even close.

Secondly, It has two of the most believable characters I've ever seen a game, the Prince especially.

Thirdly, It's the only game I have ever played that got a love story right. Most love storys in games are soppy at best and annoying at worst. Helped greatly by it's characterisation SoT manages to create a love story that is believable, funny (something thats missing from most love storys) and tragic.

Theres many other reasons as well. The story is one of the few I know of that is actually better in the retelling, meaning I play SoT at least once a year. Then are the interesting puzzles, which where a great and interesting way to break up platforming sections and combat. Then there is the combat, which, while it's the weakest point in the game, is still very enjoyable.

I will say that I did get fustrated at PoP SoT the first time I played it (especially the lift) but I like a bit of fustration playing games. Not the fustration itself, but the feeling of relief when you complete a petically difficult stretch is the best feeling you can get playing games, for me at least.

For some reason, thinking of the two best games I hhave played is easy.

The 20 minutes of Ninja Gaiden 2 were enough to put it on this list for me.(strangely, I still haven't bought the game even though I bought my 360 almost 6 months ago)

The other game would be Final Fantasy 9, the last true FF game.

Dark Chronicle is the most absorbing, beautiful, diverse and intense game I have ever played. The story is epic and wonderfully realised. It genuinely rewards you on how much effort you invest in it. A role playing gamer's dream.
Similar games that are up there in this vein:
FF XII
R&C 2
Jak II
Okami
Pokemon G/S/C

My second is more difficult because I'm ruling out single-player story games, but I'll go with Smash Bros for the GCB. I can't think of a better multiplayer game. Yet...

Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy Tactics.

Shadow of the Colossus and God Hand are probably up there on my list, though.
