Braid

Half Life 2

Limbo

Machinarium

Man, there are way too many, I'm just going to put down what comes to mind first.

1. Half-Life: Counter-Strike

2. Challenge ProMode Arena (Quake III)

3. Diablo II

• Civilization IV
• Deus Ex
• Rome: Total War
• Baldur's Gate 2
• Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

After that is when it starts getting hazy. Let's just say some mixture of the Black Isle RPGs, the pre-DA2 BioWare games, Valve games, Troika games, Bethesda games, pre-2005 Lucas Arts, and many random indie developers.

@Dalai:

There's an order to the alphabet? Oh......shit.....

1. Fallout
2. Arcanum
3. Planescape: Torment
4. Deus Ex
5. Total War
6. Morrowind
7. Diablo

I'm only putting PC games that I originally beat on the PC, so no Dragon Age or Mass Effect 2, or Bastion, or Portal 2. I haven't been much of a PC gamer until now, but now that I have a good PC, I've been working on my back-catalog.

I've played retarded amounts of PC games... Just gonna throw out 10 good titles and reserve the right to change my mind at any point.

League of Legends

Starcraft 1/2

Witcher 1/2

Dragon Age:Origins

Amnesia

Quake 3

Warcraft 3

Grim Fandango

World of Warcraft

Battlefield 2

1. Half-Life 2 - Including all the episodes. I have never been so invested in a video game's story and characters. I just wish Valve would get the next installment out.

2. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - Best plot twist ever? I think so.

3. Unreal Tournament 2004 - Even though I don't play it anymore, the online play for this literally consumed my entire life back in the day so it deserves my top three.

4. Portal 2 - Spaaaaaaaaace!! 'Nuff said.

5. Mass Effect: The Trilogy - Questionable ending aside, I absolutely fell in love with this series. The scifi setting was flawlessly thought out. I have never seen so much attention given to the minor details of a science fiction universe of a video game. It was simply brilliant.

6. Sins of a Solar Empire - There are simply not enough scifi real time strategy games on the market today. Even more rare are actual GOOD scifi real time strategy games. SoaSE is a GOOD scifi real time strategy game.

7. Unreal - One of the first shooters I ever played. I had a lot of fun exploring the alien world the game had thrown me into, and reading all of the logs and deciphering the writings in the ruins made it feel like I was in an actual place full of history

8. Freelancer - The game was my first exposure to the space trading sim and still captures my fondest memories of exploring space in a video game. It had a great story and some pretty sick battles. VIDEO GAME DEVELOPERS! MAKE MORE GAMES LIKE THIS PLEASE! . . . Ahem.

9. Civilization V - All of the Civ games have been good, but Five is the best. Nothing like a friendly game of world domination.

10. Age of Empires 2 - A classic that I feel needs to be on my list. I poured hours of my childhood playing this game with my dad and some of my friends.

Close picks

Bioshock

Supreme Commander

Rise of Nations

Empire Earth

Battlefield 3

DooM

Half-Life 1

The X series

Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2

Hmmm... 
 
In no particular order: 
 
- Medal of Honour: Allied Assault (My first online game, the community was so nice)
- Roller Coaster Tycoon
- Civ IV 
- Sid Meier's SimGolf (See my totally middling but incredibly informative wiki page!) 
-  Company of Heroes
- Starcraft II 
- Age of Empires II and the Conquerors expansion (I'm getting back into playing this online. There is a community for this still) 
- Mafia (PC version is better than the console version by miles, it feels like a different engine) 
- Oblivion (I loved Skyrim, but I put 400 hours into Oblivion versus only 150 into Skyrim) 
- Battlefield 2 
 
If I had more space I would add way more stuff, like KOTOR, Neverwinter Nights, Diablo II, Zoo Tycoon, RCT2, Warcraft III, Vanilla TF2 (I dislike all the changes), Jedi Knight II, The Sims (original one, not the new stuff), STALKER series, etc.

Alright, let's see...

1. Fallout 2
2. Homeworld
3. Fallout
4. Portal 2
5. Diablo II
6. Bastion
7. Company of Heroes
8. Half-Life 2
9. Homeworld 2
10. Creatures 3

There are a lot of games that almost made the list, but this is what I'm going with for the moment.

1. Skyrim
2. Oblivion
3. Dawn of War: Dark Crusade
4. The Longest Journey
5. Fallout 3
6. Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge
7. World of Warcraft
8. Half Life 2
9. Guild Wars
10. Command and Conquer: Generals

These are what first come to mind. But there are so many.

Edit: Forgot about KOTOR. That would go somewhere in there for sure.

I dont have a list of 10 games but Doom 1 and Doom 2. I have spent so much time playing those games that someone who is still raiding Everquest would look wierd at me.

EDIT: Oh and Freelancer, this game is amazing and I need a sequel or just a similar game + friends willing to play it.

In no particular order.

• Total Annihilation
• Warcraft 2
• Diablo 2
• Quake 3 Arena
• Privateer
• Commander Keen 4
• The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
• Deus Ex
• The Secret of Monkey Island
• Battlefield 1942

There's probably a number of things I could change in and out of that list but they were the first that came to mind (Rome: Total War or Jedi Knight II for instance).

How the hell no one mentionned X-COM: UFO Defense

• Diablo
• Fallout
• Mass Effect
• Dragon Age : Origins
• Dawn of war 2
• Baldur's Gate 2
• Knights of the Old Republic
• World of Warcraft
