This game is my favorite game of all time. Period. After a thousand or so hours (at least), I still keep coming back for more.
Second place is the whole Mass Effect series. These games represent the absolute epitome of what I think games can and should be.
After 300 hours, about 12 individual playthroughs, and every bit of DLC (yes, I bought the damned horse armor), I STILL love this game. Does it have its flaws? Absolutely, but the quality of the overall experience is such that they can be overlooked in favor of the incredible scope and triumphs of the rest of the game.
This game is a work of genius - not only is the strategy element refined to near perfection, but each faction and leader are given distinct, fascinating personalities and philosophies that elevate the experience dramatically.
This game has the greatest atmosphere of any game I've ever experienced - its sheer scope and beauty are staggering. It really feels like you're an inhabitant of this strange, wondrous world. It also doesn't hurt that the quality of the content matches that of the world. What an incredible game!
Again, a combination of all 3 games. Whenever I need a pick-me-up, I pop in a Rock Band game and jam out for a while. Nothing makes me feel better.
The story and atmosphere of this game are masterful - Fort Frolic alone merits inclusion on this list.
Vampiric priests battling ninja-monkeys; 'nuff said.
To me, this game's overall multiplayer experience has yet to be topped by anyone, including DICE.
The game that got me into gaming. This thing dominated the latter part of my childhood.
