Some surprising replies to this, to be honest.

My list would include:
Portal
Fallout 3
AudioSurf
Baldur's Gate
Shadow of the Colossus
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

You name Baldur's Gate, but then name Fallout 3 instead of the original two Fallouts?

Well, Fallout 3 is an entirely different kind of game.  The amazing atmosphere is still there but I loved the open-world FPS/RPG elements to death.  It was a complete eye-opener for me.  It had the fun of shooting stuff in a first-person perspective but you could play how you wanted, with the skills you wanted, and with as much tactical or strategic thought as you wanted.  In my opinion, an absolutely brilliant game that was hurt only by technological limits.
