World of Warcraft. It made grinding and playing with others fun for me. And it impacted me by taking out large amounts of my life. But I still love it

Silent Hill 2 was the first and only game to produce an immense amount of fear and dread. Each monster had a darker meaning to it and it resonated with my own hang ups. The plot was the best I have seen so far in a video game: a personal journey where character must face his darkest and most sinister choice. Few games compare in storytelling and emotional response. On that note I need to check out of Heavy Rain.
Snowboard Kids (the first one), this game has had more effect on me than any other media, I think I played this game near enough everyday while I had my good o'l N64 It changed my views on racing games loved everything about it, I loved the simple yet incredibly fun game play, the increasingly challenging tracks, the power ups and the soundtrack contains a few crowning music of awesome. the music had a very distinct and unique style too if that makes sense. I've never heard a game sound track that is anything like this one and I still listen to it a lot today.When I was younger I had lost this game and soon after I started having weird reccuring dreams about it that only went away when I got it back.
The Darkness and Lost odyssey spring to mind for me. Both had scenes that made me genuinely upset.

Oblivion.. the first game I played using the WASD controls rather than the directional arrows used for RTS gaming, it prepared me for the next onslaught of COD games that I bought on the PC instead of PS2..
On my original play through of Oblivion I tried to use the directional arrows thinking it would be easier.. how did I ever manage with those keys..?
For a game that changed me otherwise I'd say Company of Heroes (RTS) for showing me how much I preferred using a game's world builder as opposed to actually playing games... weird I know.

Call of Duty 4 taught me the overused tactic of 'bum-rush.' It doesn't work quite so much any more, but it's fun tactic when it does.
CoD4's MP was balanced really well - it's the first MP I can think of where the weapons function best when used how their real-world counterparts are intended to be used. Only MP that beats out MW, IMHO, is TF2.Geekosaurus said:
Metal Gear Solid. I had to think completely different, and now I'm ALWAYS looking for the sneaky/stealth route. It's how I always try to play.
If ur diggin for stealth - I'd recommend either the early Splinter Cell games, or the Thief series.
Id have to say Halo cuz it was the first game i ever played..
and then the suffering because it was a really deep game
