Bioshock, as I had spoiled it for myself earlier, and Red Alert. I started playing it when my older brother was a teenager, and he's already been through college. I didn't think I was even in school yet, and was already getting my ass kicked by the virtue of not understanding the concept of strategy. I've also lost the disk, so... yeah.
Definitely BioShock and MGS2. Both were completely unique bizarre and fun experiences that I have absolutely no desire to play again.
I'd love to go back and play the original Super Mario Bros. again, but if that was the only game I had fresh eyes for, and not all games that followed, I would probably not give it the time it deserves.
So I'll say Resident Evil 4. Easily my favorite game of all time.

I had that moment ruined for me as well, I hadn't even gotten out of the temple of the ancients, I couldn't work up the motivation after that knowing what was ahead. I mean cripes, people, keep it to yourselves and let us have our moments....hobo_fred said:
Without a doubt, Shadow of the Colossus.
The first time you see some of the Colossi is just breath taking. Not to mention having to figure out how to climb up them/how to beat them. Add all that with one of the most emotional endings to a video game that I have ever experienced. I have actually thought before "I wish I could forget this game so I could play it completely from scratch".
I like the mentions of Dead Space. That game has not gotten the attention it deserves in my opinion. Not quite on the level of SotC, but I have not seen a game that can compete with it on its level of emersion. Every tiny detail they had in that game was meant to pull you into the atmosphere they created. From no HUD, to no air, to no sound in space (I freakin' loved that), to the amazing graphics, to the excelent sound design. I do wish Issac spoke, I think the silent hero era is over.

Same here, I had played MGS years ago, and then recently beat MGS4, so now I'm trying to go back and play through the rest.XDUCK said:

I found myself riding Agro around the countryside for hours just looking at the scenery. My favorite spot was a cliff overlooking a lake and waterfalls below. Simply amazing.
Edit: I see someone above me shares my sentiment.

ff8, kotor 1 and 2, neverwinter nights, doom
id say ff7 if it wasnt such a rubbish game. i always got bored of it by the time i hit the second generator (and yes, i never got past that bit)
i only add doom cuz its a freaking hard game if you dont know what to do, but after you run through it once, it becomes a lot easier

Final Fantasy VII!! It's the first RPG that I had ever played. I'd love to be able to experience just how massive the world felt the first time you entered the world map (the only game to come close for me since was the first time you step out of the sewers in Oblivion) and heard the overworld them for the first time. They shock when Aeris was killed and you could not bring her back, not matter what you tried in the game. The heart pounding finale when you fought Sephiroth as the One-Winged Angel. Then when you thought it was all over - BAM! - you're hurtled into a one on one confrontation with him! Man. That game was such a rush.
I love adventure games, but once you've finished one you can't really replay them so my vote goes to all adventure games. If I had to pick one single game I think I'd pick Grim Fandango.
