GTA 3 showed me how much fun a sandbox can be. The game presents a familiar but comically morbid world in which we can run around like a psychopath. Only by watching someone else play do you see how insane it all is.
My first exposure to a legitimately scary game - I frightened myself something awful the first time I took an elevator up to a switch only to get an imp fireball to the face. The space marine tropes straight out of aliens permeated gaming after the release of this game.
The music, level and character design made this an experience that always keeps me coming back after all these years.
This showed me that sports games can be amazingly fun with the application of arcade sensibilities
The coop mechanics in this game revitalized the survival horror genre. Versus mode in this game made me really appreciate the balance between disparate teams in an action environment.
This recent release proved that 8-bit games can be commercially viable today
