Whats your most favourite games withing the prescribed limit of let's say 10 years. There are many retro gems before that, but there are just such a large amount of games.
Also another constraint is that the game must have a single player story mode. So games like Counter Strike, Tribes 2 and the like are elimated. Also list what genre the game is.
With each game give 2 good reasons, if you feel a game doesn't deserve greatness that someone has submitted give 3 good reasons why.
Eventually we could turn this into a full voting system, but we'll see.
Okay Half-life already shoots up without reason, it's a gem.
 
Unreal- First Person Shooter. Amazing graphics and sound for its time, a unique story, and amazing immersion factor.

Starcraft/Brood Wars-Strategy. Amazingly well balanced, with an amazing story and great character Development.

Deus Ex-RPG/Shooter. Possibly one of the best stories to be in a game, with great character development, and very unique gameplay style.
 
Terra Nova. Best graphics that were possible that time, addictive gameplay, it was way up ahead its time. I would love to see a modern sequel for that one.. hm perhaps I can get the old version running on my comp...
 
Wolfenstein3d!Game that pretty much started the fps genre.
 
i know that most of you wont agree but im gunna have to go with half life as one of the best games. :cheese:
 
Fallout 1 & 2: Absolutely amazing games. The storyline in both games is great (though the time limit in Fallout 1 is a bit annoying) and the world around you truly feels alive.

Lucasarts' adventure games (Day of The Tentacle, Monkey Island 2, Indiana Jones & the Fate of Atlantis etc): Best games ever made in the history of the universe.
 
RTS:

Total Annihilation - I'm not sure why I love this game so much, but there is something about 500 robots being blown up into 5,000 pieces (in 3D!) that turns me on.

Battlezon 1 (and 2) - Action and strategy all in one neat package. Upgradeable weapons and units. I never had so much fun in any game. The learning curve is a bit steep though.

Starcraft - the most balanced RTS. Addictive as hell. Awesome story.

FPS:

Half-Life - No explanation necessary.

Doom 1+2 - Doom bashing aside, this was the first major FPS and set the standard for everything else. Excellent soundtrack too.

RPG/Action/Adventure:

Zelda Majora's Mask - yes this is my favorite game of the Zelda series. The story is tripped out (moon falling on earth, aliens abducting cows, etc.) I also love the ability to morph into different races.

Zelda Ocarina of Time - unlike the above, here we have the classic story, but still the game is very good. If you never played Zelda this is the one you must get.

MDK 2: A really underrated game. I got it a while back with my GeForce 2 card. What makes this game so great is the humor; the professor levels are hilarious. I also loved the soundtrack.
