Every other game in the entire world could burst into flames and I would still be happy to just have these... which is good since NOTHING from this current gen has made it to my list (first time ever!)
I do however have some honorable mentions from this gen: Portal, Rayman Origins, Shadow Complex, Castle Crashers and Dead Rising. All were fantastic, but fell one thread away from perfection.

I considered including Skyward Sword, but I haven't finished it yet, so I don't think it's fair to say I like it more than TP or OoT.

[BathorysGraveland2]

I'm not even sure I could make a list of 20 games I thoroughly enjoy. Well probably, but unlike some of you other dudes, I don't play shit loads of games. Maybe 3 a year? So eh, I dunno. I'll have a crack though. No order though, that's one thing I couldn't do.

Gothic II
Gothic 3 (provided all the patches and stuff are accumulated)
Risen 1
The Witcher: Enhanced Edition
The Witcher 2 (Enhanced or not, damn magnificent)
Rome: Total War
Fallout 1
Baldur's Gate 1
Mass Effect 1, 2 & 3.
Mount & Blade: Warband
Delta Force 1
F.E.A.R 1

Hmm... there are other games I enjoy of course, but for an actual list of favourites, I can't even make 20. Eh, well, that looks like a pretty good list for me.

 

[Kyrian007]

In approximate order (I couldn't come to exact ranking decisions but these are in the ballpark.) Oh, and only one per series, a very few had a predecessor or sequel that was worthy... but I just included the best of series.

Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
Assassin's Creed 2
Ultima VII: The Black Gate
Final Fantasy VIII
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem
Star Wars (vector graphics cabinet)
Fallout 3
Kagero: Deception 2
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
Super Metroid
Masters of Orion 2
Perfect Dark (N64)
Star Wars: Tie Fighter
Wing Commander III: Heart of the Tiger
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
Portal
Silent Hill 2
Shadows of the Colossus
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Chrono Cross

That's not to say I don't like RTS or Sports games. A couple are right outside the 20 (namely Starcraft, C&C: Red Alert, and EA's NHL 19 or 20xx pick one.) It is to say I don't like MMS or MMO's. MW1 was fine but I didn't like it's predecessors or progeny, and the MMO I played the most is still the very first graphical one SSI's Unlimited Adventure engine Neverwinter Nights (yes, the one on AOL.)

 

[Frybird]

..That's kinda hard.

Well, i'll try (no specific order)

Burnout 3: Takedown
Epyx Winter Games
Half Life 2
Metal Gear Solid 1
Metal Gear Solid 3
Max Payne 2
Shadow of the Colossus
Portal 2
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Rock Band 2
Deus Ex
God of War
Contra 3
Alan Wake
Tetris (if more specific, Tetris DS)
Beyond Good and Evil
Mass Effect 2 (i like the whole trilogy...yes, even Mass Effect 3, but 2 is kinda the best)
Bioshock
Colony Wars 3
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3
