When I finally scored a free kick with Didier Drogba in FIFA 11. I hate Chelsea but man, that was satisfying!
Kingdom Hearts 2.
The first game was fantastic and then the second one came along.
Why do i love it?

The first time in Assassin's Creed when i assassinated the doctor in the hospital. The fantastic feeling of evading all the guards in plain sight, sneaking up on the target and sliding the hidden blade into his neck... pure joy. Also just the thrill of free running across rooftops whilst fleeing the guards after a successful kill, something the successive games just haven't quite captured for me, even if they are better in almost every other way. Flawed as that game was I knew i was destined to love that series forever...
Mafia II, During the opening scene where the Camera pans away from young vito and his family on the deck of a steamer to the Skyline of Empire Bay, the music building in height to match that of the skyscrapers
the Music for that game is simply amazing i'll say it now, RDR and Mafia 2 have the best original Soundtracks
Of all time, though, had to be the opening of GTA 4, i loved it from the outset as soon as i took to liberty city, the world was my oyster

I fell in love with oblivion after i realized i could kill almost everyone if i got bored of being their *****. I figured this out while playing as an argonian on my first go when the duke of one of the towns in the bottom right of the map was racist to me. I decided to sneak into her room and steal all her jewellery as revenge. while in the act the duchess' made walks in. I panic and shot her with my bow. After a brief evil laugh a took everything of value from the room i left and sold everything on the black market. I sneaked back in a few days later and killed the duchess and a few of the servants. After that i ended up joining the brotherhood. Strange seeing as i set out wanting to be a good character.
Metal Gear Solid 3, at the end when you confront The Boss. That section made me shed a tear, no lie.
In Homeworld Cataclysm, at the end of the mission where you rescue the Faal Corum (I think). I sat for well over an hour waiting for my resource gatherers, just watching the flashes in the darkly beautiful nebula behind my ship and, crucially, with Track 11 of the soundtrack playing in the background:
created a sense of the hugeness of space unlike any I've felt before or since.
In System Shock 2, my actual favorite game, it'd have to be the first time I played the demo and killed the first hybrid with the wrench. I sat in the corner for half an hour looking down the two hallways, too scared for my back to leave the wall.
Half Life 2, my newest favorite game: pretty much the whole first half of the game, but particularly the bit where I stepped out of the train station to see the citadel. Brilliantly understated, no more evil-looking than any human skyscraper but right away you know what it stands for. Second moment would've been when I was in the canals, hearing the Overwatch voice straight out of Orwell and looking up at apartment buildings that look like the ones outside my real-life window.

Mass Effect, from Virmire onward. I saved Virmire for the last place I visited, like the very last I finished up all the sidequests and the story was all that was left.
And every remaining story mission was pure concentrated awesomeness.
After I beat it once, I knew I had found the one game I could grow old with, so to speak.

I don't think I could pick a favourite game, but I remember the most stand out moment in my gaming history.
I was playing Elite 2: Frontier and I was given a mission to fly to a planet and destroy another ship but arrived a day early. I landed on the planet and activated the time compression device and waited for the next day. When I slowed time back to normal I saw the target take off from a nearby docking port and realised the game was happening around me and not too me and at that moment knew that I wanted to spend my entire life with games; because if they could do this with one floppy disk, imagine what the future holds.
Unfortunately, as good as modern developers are, they don't seem to have the scope of vision that David Braben had.

Again same game, but the one that did it for me was the Giant flying sand snake. In the middle of a scorching desert with your horse to assist you and all you got is a bow and a sword. I really enjoyed jumping onto the snake from my horse.zala-taichou said:
The main menu of inFamous. Easily one of my favorite menus of all time.
The peaceful city street. The pedestrians quietly strolling about.
Then I pressed the start button.
