EDIT: Oh are we doing EXPLANATIONS?  Fancy.

Zelda 1 because it is an action-exploration game where both the action and the exploration are decent.
Robotron because after 28 years it is still the closest thing to actually achieving perfect synergy with one's primal reflexes.
Dynasty Warriors 3 because if there's anything I like more than mass-murdering Chinese dudes, it's mass-murdering badly dubbed Chinese dudes.
Final Fantasy VI based purely on nostalgia, honestly.
Time Crisis because I like a bit of strategy with my accuracy test.

This list is surprisingly static, actually.

Mother 3 is a tiny, flawless diamond.

Planescape: Torment embodies what I look for in games.

Cave Story is the Mother 3 of sidescrolling action.

Majora's Mask demonstrates what's possible when A-list franchises take intelligent risks under the direction of excellent designers.

Interstate Zero is the game that introduced me to the modern interactive fiction scene and its authors, several of whom would influence my opinions and interests for the next ten years. It's not the best piece of IF I've ever played, but I can go back to it again and again.

Diablo II - all the obvious reasons, plus it's one of the best examples of long-term support for a game. It's ten years old, and a new content patch went into open beta last month.

Chrono Trigger DS - the perfect port of a perfect game.

Wind Waker - I'm not going to try and justify this one.

Fallout 3 - For all the problems it had (and there were many), it's probably the most captivating videogame I've ever played. Captivating to my tastes, anyways.

Phoenix Wright - for really saving the adventure game genre.

Psychonauts saved adventure games in the same way that Serenity saved Firefly.

I fucking love you, Burrito.

Anyway, serious faces:

Resident Evil 4 for being nothing short OF THE GREATEST VIDEO GAME EVER MADE. In the event aliens come to Earth and they have no frame of reference or context for establishing what a video game IS, you show them this fucking masterpiece. It has ZOMBIES, it has RESCUING THE PRESIDENT'S DAUGHTER, it has a SHOP where you can buy GUNS BUT NOT AMMO and it has RIDING A JETSKI out of AN EXPLODING ISLAND FORTRESS. Nothing more video game has ever been produced by man's hands.

Phoenix Wright 3 for somehow not only having a better story than Phoenix Wright 1, but having a story that arcs over all five cases, without losing steam. Also the only game to feature the line, [spoiler]"Okay, we've exorcised the demonic spirit of your dead girlfriend. [/spoiler]NOW LET'S GET BACK TO THE IMPORTANT STUFF!"

Killer7 for Smile. This game hurt me.

Snake Eater for:

"Twelve shots."
"Pretty... Good..."
"All that's left for you to take is my life."
"We're men... With names!"

Seriously, there are enough FIST-PUMPING moments in this game to induce RSI.

Silent Hill 2 for being a game that, at the end of the day, has a simplistic, emotional and masterfully told story that literally every human being on the planet can understand, enjoy and become a better person by experiencing.

Valkyrie profile is pretty fun that way too, especially Leneth's finisher.







no pun intended...
