the Age Of Empires trilogy
Age Of Empires was my very first game, and I was hooked right away. After that I got the sequel and later on the threequel. Number 2 is probably the best on the series, but all of them are great in their own way. Still my go-to RTS.
Civilization III
I got into this a couple years after Age Of Empires and I don't think I've ever played a game so addictive.
Flower
This downloadable game for PS3 had and continues to have a powerful emotional effect on me. So simple yet so deep, I recommend this to anyone with an open mind.
Super Mario Bros
I've never beaten it (sad, eh?) but it's a joy to play time and time again. So much depth to this game and the endless amount of secrets is impressive for 1985.
Super Mario Galaxy
Pure platforming joy. Amazing level design, extremely attractive visuals, and a wonderful soundtrack all make for a near-perfect game.
StarFox 64
Like SMB, I've not beaten it, but starting over in Corneria City and trying to get even farther never gets old.
Call Of Duty
This is an intense war experience that added a new dimension to FPS games. Even the newer games haven't been able to capture the same mood that this one has.
edit: not to mention it still has some of the best multiplayer maps in FPS gaming
