1. Little Big Planet 2 - Bigger and better than the first. There is so much you can make, it can be as complicated as you want it to be. And then there are the pre-made levels which are awesomely fun and have unique themes that thrash the first ones themes, come on castle gardens vs. steam punk? ^^ Also the inclusion of steam punk itself just rawks. The levels also have new innovations and are significantly more difficult than the original.
2. Silent Hill 2 - A fantastic game which will forever be the pinnacle of horror on any media platform. I simply love the ways it uses phsycological scares and some generally messed up scenes to scare you senseless. The puzzles and fighting are actually fun to me ^^ And the story is perhaps one of the best I have ever seen in a game.
3. Mass Effect 2 - To me this is a brilliant, whilst it's more of a third person shooter it has some brilliant features that make your shepherd your own. Also I actually love the way they toned down the complexities of the first as sometimes, as I am a space RPG n00b, I got lost in my inventory and got so confused by everything, whereas now its so simple to do everything. Also the vastness of things to do eclipses any other game I have played....bar LBP2
4. Borderlands - Ok I admit it I am a completely addicted to loot.... and I have somehow managed to avoid diablo...
5. Minecraft - I am simply in love with the resource management and mining! Every time I see some ore in a rock I get totally excited about the possibilities I can make with it, that is until I fall in some lava and loose it all....anyway, any game that the legend, Deadmau5 plays is good enough for me!

 

[johnnylaws]

some good choices here... mine, in no particular order...

Civilization III (PC) - was completely addicted, back in the day
Morrowind (PC) - favorite RPG of all time
Halo (X-Box) - played it like no other first-person shooter
Thief (PC) - still in love with this game
Railroad Tycoon 3 (PC) - completely addicted back in the day, still play with it now and then

Hmm I often challenge myself to pick 5 games I simply could not live without just in case this sort of thread ever pops up...

I'll base the list on games I have played/will play multiple times as that seems to me a good indication of their awesome-ness. In no particular order...

Halo: Combat Evolved (Xbox)
Half Life 2 and all episodes (Xbox 360)
Metal Gear Solid (PS1)
Silent Hill 2 (PS2)
Heavy Rain (PS3)

Yes, I'm happy with that list... represents a variety of genres and also covers all consoles (the ones that matter anyway!) Notice they are all very story driven games, with the possible exception of Halo - however that story blew me away when I first played it! It's all about the narrative for me.

2. Silent Hill 2 - A fantastic game which will forever be the pinnacle of horror on any media platform. I simply love the ways it uses phsycological scares and some generally messed up scenes to scare you senseless. The puzzles and fighting are actually fun to me ^^ And the story is perhaps one of the best I have ever seen in a game.
3. Mass Effect 2 - To me this is a brilliant, whilst it's more of a third person shooter it has some brilliant features that make your shepherd your own. Also I actually love the way they toned down the complexities of the first as sometimes, as I am a space RPG n00b, I got lost in my inventory and got so confused by everything, whereas now its so simple to do everything.

I thoroughly endorse these choices, and the reasons behind them, my good sir!

WTF!! dubble post

 

[radioactive lemur]

1: Donkey Kong 64 (No single player gaming experience before or since can compare to that one in my book. I am beyond pissed off with Nintendo for not making a sequel to this one.)
2: Super Smash Bros [N64, Melee and Brawl are all about even to me] (Most fun I've ever had multiplayer gaming with human friends bar none. If Brawl's online mode was even remotely functional this could have made #1.)
3: MGS4 (Multiplayer is twice as good as conventional shooters, Campaign is fifty times as good as conventional shooters)
4: Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (Hesitant to include as I haven't finished yet, but the story is great and I've put in at least 20 hours on the multiplayer and still think it's awesomely innovative, so I am confident it will be nestled snugly in my top 5 by the time I'm done)
5: Red Dead Redemption (Best sandbox in my book. Highly functional gameplay. Compelling story and characters)

 

[cgmetallica1981]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:Shadow of Chernobyl
Diablo Battle Chest (Diablo + Diablo II + Lord of Destruction)
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Half-Life (and mods)
Dead Space

This is as of recent. My actual list would be about 50. I'm the most indecisive person you'll meet.

[F'Angus]

I get the feeling most of my choices will be different that others' but these games are all great in their own ways.

1.Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (Exodus is good but I like the Original Storyline more)
2.Monkey Island 2 (Hard to choose between all the MIs)
3.Morrowind (I like Oblivion but I remember Morrowind as being just better)
4.Delta Force Black Hawk Down (Love the HUGE sniping maps, takes actual skill with bullet drop)
5. Medieval (PS1) (love this storyline)

Also worth a mention Resistance Fall of Man, Age of Empires, Baldurs Gate Soul Reaver and Call of Duty 4 (Hell it's probably the best, fast paced shooter)

Gonna stop adding things now
