In no particular order, these are some of my favorites.

-
Few recent games immediately jumped out to me as "Great!" like No More Heroes. A game that's completely nonsensical yet fully aware at the same time.
-
Yes, the game was fun and emotional, but what did it for me were the environments. Virtually lifeless, the world was filled with character.
-
Claustrophobic, with excellent level design.
-
Frightening, without a single "Boo!".
-
Walls of text have become a video game no-no. That's because they weren't written like Planescape: Torment.
-
A world so well realized, you owe the game locked doors, shut lights, and total attention.
-
Along with Part 2, the games with which I've logged the most hours -- no, days.
-
High on nostalgia, but it is still an excellent game.
-
It's popularity taints the choice, but it's adventure is sprawling and engaging.
-
Adventure games demand great stories, great characters, and great worlds; the Longest Journey has them.
-
The pacing was perfect. The only sequel I can think of that did nothing new and still exceeded its predecessor in every way. I didn't even touch the multiplayer.
