1. Doom I & II (Yes, folks Doom! One office lan and you're hooked. This is what started it for me and is the first game I can honestly remember playing the hell (no pun) out of.)

2. Half-life series (from the uplink demo to the exodus through Black Mesa, from City 17 to the mountains and so forth. Portal, Blue Shift, Opposing force, etc. EPIC WIN!!!11)

3. Starcraft (Uhm, rednecks? In space? = WIN!)

4. Dues Ex (Multiple endings, engrossing storyline, replayable.)

5. Planescape: Torment (Yeah, discovered this one much later in life and was but glad I didn't miss out.)

6. Theif (Stealth game and stealing shit. omg what was that?)

7. Baldur's Gate 1 (Way better than two, and even way better than three! Baldur's Gate 1 and the sword coast expansion had it all to introduce ya into the world of Forgotten Realms.)

8. Fallout

9. Dark Forces (WTF?! a FPS with a storyline, ducking, jumping, and objectives?! and Starwars? Nerdgasim.)

10. Cyclones. (You've never heard of it, have you? I liked it.)

1) Chrono Trigger - I can't count how many hours I logged into that game, plus again when the Playstation Version came out.
2) Final Fantasy Tactics - Same reasons above, except when the PSP version hit.
3) KotOR I & II
4) NWN - I STILL hop onto that game sometimes just to putz around.
5) Kingdom Hearts I & II - Damn Jiminey Journal...
6) Final Fantasy 9 - Just had my favorite plot and characters.
7) Unreal Tournament - Hours of entertainment with college roomies.
8) Chrono Cross - Didn't much care for the game, but the sound track was fantastic.
9) The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass - Most fun I've ever had on a Nintendo DS.
10) Portal - If you haven't played it...then play it.

When I heard the Black Box was cancelled and you had to buy the Orange Box, with HL2 and Episode one, I was all like "Why do I have to buy these games I already have again, just so I can play Episode 2?" I was miffed about having to pay for a full priced game for episodoc content...

But I was so impressed with Portal that I was appeased. And Episode 2 was longer than most FPS games that come out these days... Team Fortress 2 is OK as well.

4- Colonization
5- Defender of the Crown
6- Secret of Monkey Island
7- Tomb Raider
8- Prince of Persia
9- Flight Simulator
10- Tetris

And now I want to play Populous again.

Dunno if I could limit myself to just 10, but suppose I'll give it a shot. In no particular order:

Chronotrigger: maybe it's just me, but I think it craps all over the FF games. Still bust it out occasionally.

Tie Fighter: Collectors Edition: Best space dogfighting sim ever, awesome campaign with lots of variety in the missions. Loved struggling with a tough-as-eggshells tie fighter to start with, and ending up with that experimental juggernaut whose name I just can't remember atm (ed: Defender!).

Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries: Who doesn't love giant robots? My favorite in the series.

Warlords 3: Dark Lords Rising: TBS with randomly generated maps using custom army lists! Campaigns were fun too.

Civilisation 2: sure, the newer ones are prettier, and more complex, but the sheer volume of time spent playing this one gets it a mention.

Heroes of Might and Magic 2: You read it, 2 damn you!

Diablo: how many mice did you break on this game?

Fallout: No doubt about it, 2 was a lot funnier and so much bigger, and with some better features, but 1 will always have a special place in my heart.

Baldurs Gate 2: feel no need to say why.

Dawn of War series: Just good, fun rts.

No doubt I've forgotten a few and will berate myself later, but all games I loved and played far too often, for far too long.

1) Street Fighter 3: Third Strike
The best and latest installment to the Street Fighter series (until SF4 is released). Most competitive fun I've ever had in any game and it's one of the reason I got into the tournament play. Not to mention having the most memorable moment in fighting game history.

2) Street Fighter II
Yes, Street Fighter II, although not as amazing in my eyes as Third Strike, does deserve a place as a separate game. This is, essentially, what set the bar for fighting games to come to strive to beat/achieve.

3) Baldur's Gate II: Shadow of Amn
I could put the series down, but I found that this one stood out the most (as I did with StarCraft). The voice acting, the story itself, the villain -- everything drew you in exceptionally well.

4) Half-Life [Series]
As much as I wished to draw away from a series, I can't with this one. The entire thing is done exceptionally well, and I will also include Portals in the pack, as it has many ties to the storyline (or at least will, I think, come Episode 3). The first installment actually frightened me when I played it, and I loved all the expansions (such as the Ops and Cop ones), and have not been disappointed in Half-Life 2 or any of its episodes.

5) Diablo II
I can't disregard the addiction this game can hold on someone. It's an over the top grindfest, and I would've rated the original Diablo in this spot if it wasn't for the online being completely hacked from only a bit into its launch. The repetitive grinding is very addictive, and it is why #6 is, regretfully...

6) World of Warcraft [Series]
I say "series" because it has expansions, and I must say... I hate this game with a passion, but that didn't prevent me from sinking four years into the game and a lot of time that I won't get back over those four years. Whatever Blizzard has done, they've done it right -- the game can keep you entertained for god knows how long, and even with the amount of drama involved (worse than ALFA's in so many cases it's not even funny), people still stay and play. It's absolutely insane.

7) StarCraft: Brood Wars
I played the demo before the game came out without even realizing exactly what it was. This game got me hooked so fast and so hard. The expansion is probably my favourite part of the game, everything was just so dark in the end. I loved every ending and thought it couldn't have been done in any other way.

8 ) Garou: Mark of the Wolf
The beginning of the King of Fighters series, essentially. Absolutely amazing game, even by today's standards for fighting games. Like Street Fighter II, it is actually still played in tournaments worldwide and is regarded and overall solid game.

9) Final Fantasy VII
Although I was prone to saying Chrono Trigger, I found that I spent many, many hours on Final Fantasy VII in comparison. I just had to get as much as possible -- golden chocobo, KotR, Cloud's Ultimate Limit Break, ultimate weapons, etc. There was just so much to do, and there was a killer storyline to boot (well, in some manner).

10) Shadow of the Colossus
If you haven't played it... play it. That is all. Absolutely beautiful game.
Part of ALFA since May 2000.
