Personally, Halo 3...the game ain't the best in the world, especially now, but Ive had a shit ton of great memories of that game when I was younger...used to just make random friends on multiplayer then screw around on other gamemodes and maps for around 2 whole years, then it finally died out....
Probably Raiden or Spyro on the first Playstation console. Good times, good times... Honestly, most of it died after the PS2. PS2 was the last good console for gaming. Sigh... Now I'm just playing the crap outta MW2 and RPGs on the 360
Devil Maybe Cry 3 special edition. It was something new for me to enjoy because I got bored with every other genre and it had some RPG elements when it came to leveling up weapons.
Chrono Cross. Its soundtrack blew out my mind when I played it as a 10-year old; it was as if I was in the game itself instead of just being the guy who presses console buttons. Plus, it's a worthy sequel of Chrono Trigger (ties a few loopholes while opening bigger ones though). What caught my attention then, and still so today, is its beginning prose:
"What was the start of all this? When did the cogs of fate begin to turn? Perhaps it is impossible to grasp that answer now, From deep within the flow of time.
But for a certanty, back then We loved so many yet hated so much We hurt others and were hurt ourselves.
Yet even then we ran like the windWhilst our laughter echoedUnder cerulean skies...."
Ah, yes... The FPS games. Halo isn't that bad, Halo: CE was pretty intense. Duke Nukem and Doom, both still holds the record for me for best FPS of all time. But if we're talking about the more recent ones, nothing tops Bioshock. Although, I'm still playing MW2 for some reason... Something about it just keeps bringing me back

Hearing halo 3 made me facepalm.
Banjo and spyro (depending on which) are the closest to the oldies.
For me, Earthbound by a hair, followed by Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy 6, respectfully.
Gotta look into some good FPS ;)
