1) MegaMan ZX (one of the first games I ever bought, so has some nostalgic value. Plus the music is awesome.)
2) Super Smash Bros. Melee (generally great fun to play)
3) Battlefront II (Very involving battles, and space fights are awesome)
4) Armored Core: For Answer (for some reason nearly every NPC character that you come across is a total badass, and customization is excellent)
5) Halo Reach (Fun campaign, Forge World is great, and after a bit of time you can get pretty good at multiplayer)

Forgot all about that one...

Legend of Dragoon? That was a pretty entertaining game, I'll admit. Not a top favorite, but good.

Heck, I can't even say what my favorites are. I like games, some more than others. But some tops:
FF 6
Soul Blazer
FF 10
Bioshock
Left 4 Dead 1+2
Portal
Borderlands
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina + Past
Master of Orion 2
Disgaea
Chrono Trigger

That'll do.

I don't have a favorite game

I don't have a favorite game but I'm glad legend of dragoon and Megaman ZX got a mention. I like alot of the big game popular games (Halo/portal/COD) but its boring to list those as faves since everyone likes them.

I'll just list a few not as well known but amazing titles from independent game developers that have delighted me.

Cave Story (great/cute story about a robot who wakes up on a strange world and fights hostile...wait does that sound familiar?)

1. Okami 2. Okamiden 3. Star

1. Okami (One of the few great games I've had the chance to play and still pop it in from time to time, and one with a variety of good morals. And music. <3)
2. Okamiden (Shorter by a bit, but it gets down to a more personal level than Okami. And the music...<3)
3. Star Fox 64 (Sadly a dying/about-to-be-possibly-killed-by-Miyamoto series.)
4. Killing Floor (British L4D, except it came out before L4D, is more open in terms of strategy, and is freaking HARD.)
5. Metroid Prime series (Still remember nearly ruining a good pair of pants when looking at Quadraxis for the first time.)
6. DragonFable (Yes, I actually play it. And, yes, I actually enjoy it.)

And three people said Runescape? Eek. That's the worst commercial game I've played since... I'll have to think about this... well, probably since a couple of SNES EA Sports games, which were so awful that I haven't picked up anything that EA has been involved with in about the last 18 years or so. Actually, no. I take that back. Wii Sports was worse than Runescape.

and no one said

Final Fantasy Tactics. Possibly the best game ever :)

A few others that should certainly be mentioned, but i've yet to see.

Secret of Mana (this game is every bit as underrated as chrono trigger is overrated!!!! blasphemy, i know. but i don't care.)

Ogre Battle Serires. Both to SNES and N64. [especially to the snes, just b/c it was one of the last great games out before the internet ruined secrets in video games]

Dark Cloud (i think 3?? not sure on the number) to PS2. It was a remarkably engaging game, and a beauty to behold. Cell-shading graphics at their finest. Plus, it didn't suffer as so many role play games do, by bogging you down with endless tutorials to get started. Nope, just a boy with a wrench in a sewer smacking around some giant rats. Have at it.

The very first (american that is) Final Fantasy to the good ole NES. I've beat that game more times then i can count. Then i downloaded it to my macbook and beat it a couple more times.

7th saga (Snes). Not many played it, but it was pretty cool :D

I am glad someone mentioned Super Mario to N64......its easy to forget what a revelation that game was when it came out. The fact that it single handedly changed the platforming genre forever. The depth of gameplay, 3D atmosphere, and shear innovation....it is perhaps the biggest leap ever in class b/w itself and its predecessors. I dare say, no game has so thoroughly outpaced all its peers at the time of its release. Heck, if you go back and play, it still stands up to the test of time.

And of course all the zeldas. The first Metal Gear solid to ps2 (or was it PS? where you had to use controller 2 so the mantis couldn't read your mind XD ) Shining force series...and too many others i'm leaving out.

yes, clearly, i'm a huuuuuge fan of RPGs.
