Easy.

Here goes:

Final Fantasy VII
Oblivion
Super Mario Bros.
Tekken 3
KOTOR 2

I guess this is in order of what I first played.

Super Mario Bros.- One of the first games I ever played. It had me hooked right from the first level.

Wolfenstein 3D - The first PC game I ever played it blew my mind, you can eat dog food and open secret doors!

Donkey Kong Country - I remember this in my childhood dearly, I would get every secret item, it had gorgeous visuals.

Metal Gear Solid - It was like I was playing an action movie, Kojima did some crazy stuff in this game, you had to change you controller port for god sake.

Grand Theft Auto 3 - Wow this is one of my all time favorites I remember powering this up freshman year and playing for hours, the open world and story was amazing. I never played anything like it, I would show it to my friends and they would be in awe of what you could do.

Battle Toads
Super Mario 64
Super Smash Brothers
Counter-Strike: Source
God of War (1&2)

Zelda: A Link to the Past
MGS1 on PS1
Faxanadu
Super Metroid
Everquest - This game created so many memorable moments for me, I really miss it.

It's kinda interesting that there are so few PC games on these lists... anyway, here's mine.

Metal Gear Solid 4
World of Warcraft
Halo 1
Super Mario RPG (SNES)

And, while it may not be the most popular choice, my all time favorite game has always been
Final Fantasy IX

Counter Strike Source
Socom 2
Curse of Monkey Island
Grim Fandango (even if I dont quite remember the story line)
and not sure about 5

"Pokemon Fire Red: I played this game with my siblings and friends all the time. It was that rivalry and competitiveness that will make me remember this game forever.

Shadow of the Colossus: Perfection.

Kirby's Adventure: My first real game.

Super Smash Brothers Melee: Same reason as Fire Red.

Fire Emblem: Just an awesome strategy game that I played for countless hours, wherever I went."

Make your mind up man! "

Former list is better.

Doom - the first FPS I played. Awesomeness to the max. I still remember most of the levels. Some crazy and awesome mods/levels.

Duke Nukem Forever - Not as technologically impressive as Doom, but man this game was funny. The humour and the self-awareness gave it a very special feeling. I still remember the cheat that gave you all the weapons: "DNSTUFF"

Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines - I asked for a game with "movies in it" cause I wasn't familiar with the term cut-scenes, and this is what I got. Yup, it was full of war footage. And it was a pretty cool game. Definatly not your average game, you had to actually think before taking action. But the trial-and-error got a little tedious around the end. Thank god for the cheat codes...

Age of Mythology - This game if my all-time favorite game hands down. I had bought a GeForce 4 MX on the same day that I bought this game. The latter turned out to be a better investment. The moment the first level came on screen, oh my god, I was drooling. It looked so so beautiful. The animations were so fucking fluid I still can't describe it. And I wasn't familiar with Greek mythology at the time, so the storyline was so epic for me. I still play this game online at least once every week.

Splinter Cell - The game that told me console games are going to take over PC games. I bought it with some suspision knowing it was a Xbox port, but It blew me away. Then in the following months Prince of Persia: Sands of Time killed any doubts I had about console games taking over. Turns out I was right...

noticable mentions:
Total Overdose - The most fun I have ever had playing a video game. EVER. What a pity that its too short and flawed.
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time - Same reason as Splinter Cell, but Splinter Cell came out earlier.
Super Mario World - Childhood memories
Sonic the Hedgehog - Childhood memories
House of the Dead - My only real arcade exprience. Me and my friend actualy played the whole game in an arcade. We spent $20. A lot of money back then.

I guess my top 5 games that I hope I wont forget would be;

Ico/Shadow of the Colossus -  first games where I thought that games can be  as much art as film
Bioshock -  the underwater city, Rapture, was sight to behold, not many setting in video games are this well thought out and unique
Beyond Good and Evil - shows that shooting people in the face is not the only way to be a 'freedom fighter'
Age of Empires II- best multiplayer RTS I played, it was ejoyable even if I was losing
GTA III -  changed my view of what can be done with games as far as freedom in a virtual place.
Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne - after I played this game all other JRPG seemed childish and devoid of originality by comparison
Portal - I loved the whole game but the end song, 'I am still Alive' was one the most memorable moment in video games
Team Fortress 2 - imo best multiplayer since Quake
World of Goo - I love the sign painter and yet I have yet to meet him/her/it
Planescape Torment - a fantasy game where you can empathize with the undead more then the actual humans npc cant be all bad...
Grim Fandango - if my suspicions that Tim Schafer is god are true (or at least related to him/her) then I am pretty certin this is how the afterlife is gone look like.
Dune II - first game I have ever played, then spent a very unhealthy lenght of time playing it
Prince of Perisa Sands of Time -  Arabian Nights have never been translated in another form better then in PoP, even if it doesnt carry the name.
Vampire Bloodlines - so well written that my standards for RPGs went way high, which is unfortunate cause its hard to get in other newer RPGs...

ok so I went a little bit over 5...

Banjo-Kazooie
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Portal
Final Fantasy X
Runescape (I mean it...)
