Half-Life 2 and assorted episodes.
for me, the right mix of
- run around and shoot lots of stuff
- plot/mystery/motivation
- general gameplay
- visuals
- perfect mix between "figure this out puzzle time" and "keep shooting as many things as possible and generally go that direction"

Absolutely impossible to say. But my fave games in no particular order-
Half Life. Made the FPS world respectable.
Crysis. Balls out action.
Mario Bros 3, Mario World and Sonic 2. Perfect platformers.
Metroid Prime 1.
Mario Galaxy.
Smash Bros Brawl.
Twilight Princess.
LocoRoco, Advance Wars, Pokemon Pearl.
Actually screw it. My fave game ever is Zelda: Links Awakening. No game has come close to that in terms of pacing, structure, music and story.

Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. Well actually I guess Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance, since it's everything and more. Great gameplay and amazing story. I know many people think MGS has a stupid story, but I can't get enough of it.
I love it when the OP asks for peoples opinions and reasoning behind it without even following through and doing it themselves. It just smacks of laziness

You want my favorite video game, I'll give it to you. World of Warcraft. There, happy?
Games that were some of my favorites throughout the years, in no particular order:
Ultima V on the PC. It was the first Ultima game I played and just really like it. I liked these older rpgs because you couldn't just click your way to the end like some modern rpgs.
Elder Scrolls III on PC. I liked how open ended it was. I actually played Oblivion much more than this one, but I still like this one better. Sadly, I just don't have the time and energy anymore to really get into a game that is so open ended.
Zelda Ocarina of Time on N64. Seeing a zelda game in a 3d environment for the first time was cool. Just a great game. I still play it sometimes.
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3 for PS2. It was the first Tony Hawk game, of many, that I played.
Skate for XBox 360. I was getting tired of the tony hawk games and I liked the innovative controls for the game. I still play this one a lot. Ironically, I was never a skater. I think I was only on a real skateboard once or twice in my life.

Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne
I can modify the game so much that it is more fun to modify than play

I gotta say Halo 3....By far my favorite game. I bought an Xbox 360 just for that. Even 2 years after the release, I'm still playing it like crazy!!! I love having friends over and play ALL night. The game play is the best and the combination of maps and game variants makes it one of my all time favorites.......Team Snipers FTW!

Unreal Tournament (99). Still the best death match ever. Soooo many mods.
Lemmings. Original PC. Still trying to find a modern equivalent that plays as well. PS3 version is OK but not the same.
Mechwarrior 2. great early LAN game and best opening movie ever.
Street Fighter 2 (NES).

+1 on these. Not sure why. For some reason the N64 made a big impact on me even though I sold it after about a year (for the same as I bought it for! Muppet was happy to pay!)
Diddy Kong racing because I played it with my girlfriend at the time and kind of got her into games (Many years later we are happily married with twin daughters so we owe Diddy something!)
She has also loved every ratchet & clank. Since the twins were born no games consoles in our house (literally dont have the time!) would love to see above mentioned games on the iphone though!
Oh my yes. It was great at the time but I think my fave Zelda has to be Links Awakening. First ending to bring a tear to my jaded eye.
