Going back....
Super C (NES) because that is the earliest game I remember playing in my life. Watching my older brother play co-op was a new and 'bonding' experience.
No Mercy- Best wrestling game ever. It had supreme customization, great storylines, and I loved the artstyle at the time. People were stealing copies of it around the neighborhood!
Goldeneye- Awesome shooting game. This and No Mercy are the reason I had 7 boys from the neighborhood fightin over controllers every other day. Halo 1 later brought on the same appeal. Small honorable mention to Bomberman 64
Star Fox 64- first I hated it. Then a few years later, the one-liners, secrets, and replayability made it one of my favorite games of all-time
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time-I cannot describe enough how deeply that game affected my life. I was only like 7 years old, the age where you just learn right from wrong, and this game just captivated me in every way. I recently asked my family about it and my cousins and even my mom said I was obsessed with it. It is why its my favorite game of all-time, possibly forever.
Azure Dreams (PS1)- The random tower and the wealth of things you could do made me go back and forth from my neighbors house every other day playing it. Brilliant game, but Gamespot only gave it 7.3...Pfft. wTF....
Syphon Filter- pretty much my first Third Person Shooter I think. Great game, never surpassed by its sequels either. Driver 2 gets a slight honorable mention.
Shenmue- when people watch it, it is the most boring game ever. Playing it, it is one of the greatest. I tried buying it once, left my Dreamcast disc tray opened once my older brother arrived with the copy. Gamestop said they only had one of 2 CDs and he didn't get it (Huge Disappointment for a kid)
Legend of Dragoon/Final Fantasy 7- two RPGs I loved. I remember playing the LOD demo and wanting to buy it so badly, and I eventually got it, but the fourth CD scratched and I couldn't finish it (Huge Disappointment for a kid LOL) Same thing happened with FF7. Took at least 9 years to track down FF7 and finish it, which I did by beating the Weapons last november.
Super Smash Bros. Melee- another uniting and extremely competitive fighting game. Had all the kids over for it. Imagine, losers get banned from my house lol We were playing for more than fun back then lol
Grand Theft Auto- played 1 on the PC and 2 on the PS1 and didn't feel them. But GTA3 was bananas. I could still hear that Agallah song bumpin in the Banshee. My favorite GTA from beginning to end. Loved the protagonist and environment. My great love for GTA3 fuels my complete hatred for GTA4.
Resident Evil 4- my brother beat it, I beat it, then my oldest brother completed the game. Watching him beat the game reminded how much of a classic it is. 9.8 Masterpiece. Honorable mention to RE1 (GC), for showing me true survival horror. I avoided that game for 5 years because I was too scared lol
Shadows of the Colossus- all I can say is 9.9 Masterpiece, The Epitome of Immersion. I mean this game literally took my breath away after every boss battle. When you can make me feel sad for killing a boss, you are doing something exceptionally right. Honorable mention to Metal Gear Solid 3 lol
God of War 1 & 2- violence in a whole other level. Brutal but fun.
Gears of War series- same appeal as God of War, but multiplayer and worse story haha
Nothing else from this gen has been good except for New Super Mario Bros. Wii and No More Heroes for its quirkiness
