Mario Galaxy. Reawakened my love for gaming after several years of barely caring and almost giving it up as a hobby.

Sword of Sodan for the Genesis magically changed $40 of my money into crap.
LoZ: Wind Waker (honestly this game made my childhood gaming experience) Ty the Tasmanian Tiger 1 & 2, Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2, days, and Birth by Sleep, Fallout 3 & New Vegas, Mass Effect series, Civilzation 5, Starfox 64, LoZ: Ocarina of Time (When I was a kid only because now I don't like it as much.) and Majora's Mask, Earthbound, Mother 3, Fez, Psychonauts, Pokemon, Fable 1 &2.
I'm just gonna stop now because a lot of the games I play give me that magic feeling.
Most of the N64 and GC mainline games I've played, as well as Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart Wii, and Zelda: Twilight Princess.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Everything in that game absolutely blew me away at the time. I remember thinking this was the pinnacle of video games.

The best quote I've seen this year:

Star Ocean: The Second Story. One of the few games where it actually felt like I was going on a grand adventure.
I am the Playstation Avenger.

Same here actually. I consider 2002 through the end of 2008 my dark age of gaming. With work and starting a family I had all but gave up playing video games. Then, after an emergency surgery, my mom got me a Wii with Super Mario Galaxy to give me something to do while I recovered. I think I milked my pain a good extra week so I could stay home and complete the game.
"Games are a trigger for adults to again become primitive, primal, as a way of thinking and remembering. An adult is a child who has more ethics and morals, that's all. When I am a child, creating, I am not creating a game. I am in the game. The game is not for children, it is for me. It is for an adult who still has a character of a child."
Shigeru Miyamoto
Not very many for me. I started playing games more often about a year ago. The closest ones are probably the first two Paper Mario games. Those are the only games I spent 8 or more hours in a day playing (Played the first one 8 hours straight and TTYD 15 hours)
Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time.
both games i remember trying crazy stuff on because i thought the games were so big at the time i could just anywhere.
I spent countless hours jumping that wall at the start to the back of mario 64 to see if there was a racetrack behind there like there is in mario kart 64.
also I spent countless hours trying to find secrets in OOT both magic games truly timeless

I just started to lose interest in the 6th gen because Nintendo are the reason I love gaming, and their output during that era was, in my opinion, a massive step down from the SNES and N64 days. Therefore, gaming as a whole lost a lot of its appeal.
The Wii was a spectacular return to form for me, restoring my faith in gaming.
