Games with the strongest atmosphere.

ICO, and if you can get into the game, Final Fantasy XIII. Also Metal Gear Solid 2 to a lesser extent, or at least I felt the atmosphere when I was younger.

Yes! MGS2 is a great contender. From the prologue on the ship with the rain and the engine sounds inside, to the perfect day/night time transition during the story. You could really feel the progression of time in MGS2.

Stalker oozes atmosphere as well, topping the Fallout and Metro series for me.
