Just one?  That's so hard!  How about five?

Grim Fandango (if I did have to chose one it might be this)

Still one of the best, most original narratives in any game - nothing here felt like a rip off from a movie, comic or novel or other better source.  Grim Fandango was a true, original creation.

Great characters with actual heart and a theme and story that actually took you somewhere emotionally.

Some of the best voice acting ever, fun puzzles and just a fantastic ending.

As close to perfection as it gets for videogames.  You might not like it, but that's just taste.  The game itself has no real flaws or issues inherent in its design.

You know what, Hollywood should stop turning crappy fighting games into movies and adapt games with great stories like Grim Fandago. I could definately see Grim Fandango as an Oscar-winning animation made by Pixar.

Yah, Grim Fandango could make a great animated movie.  TBH playing it I felt I was playing an animated movie!  Sadly Hollywood's more interested in hoping millions who played a game with name recognition and zero story will go see a poor film based on the name vs something less known but clearly more suitable like Grim Fandango.
