I go back and forth between Final Fantasy 8, 9 & 10

All of them are fantastic RPGs. I prefer the story of 8, but 9/10 had the better minigames.

Yeah FFX is one of my all time favorites

Ignoring the obvious ones like Pong, Mario and Doom that either helped create the games industry or entire genres, I'm going to say these two:
Halo
Grand Theft Auto: III

Because both arguably redefined entire genres and their effects are still being felt today. Halo broke away from the relentless corridor crawling that had been seen in practically all FPS' up until that point, treated the main character as someone with a finite ability to carry weapons rather than a walking armoury, introduced melee, quick access grenades and regenerating life, plus the ability to control vehicles.

GTA: III on the other hand, while it didn't get rave reviews, it helped to create the open world sandbox which almost all games now take after. While games like Zelda: Ocarina of Time did dabble in it, it still felt very much from going from one staged area to another, whereas GTA: III brought a world to life.

Other games worthy of the greatest game crown would be Zelda: OoT, MGS and Shadow of the Colosus - while the latter didn't do anything revolutionary, it's blend of art style, design and gameplay for me created the most memorable game experience in the last 25 years.

What?

Also in terms of Halo introducing melee combat to fps? Doom had a chainsaw and Zero Tolerence on the megadrive had characters who specialized in Melee... they were bad at staying alive but Halo is not the first fps to feature it.

Back in the day of GTA:III where magazine reviews counted for something, you'd be surprised with the amount of 7's it received. 

Also having a combat weapon is not the same as a quick melee attack which has been replicated in almost every single FPS since Halo.

Baldur's gate 2 or Bioshock.

Both are incredibly immersive games with unforgettable characters and plot.

If someone says TLOU I am seriously done with this thread. EDIT: Found at least one lul.
