Mine has to be bulletstorm for the xbox 360 because it has really amazing graphics and very interesting surroundings, a really good and interesting campaign and a very addictive online game which is brilliant! I also love the detail the game designers have put into this game, like the way you can kill an enemy by kicking them into a cactus and I like the blood and gore aswell!

Knights of the Old Republic 1
Dragon Age 2

Baldurs Gate 2
EQ2
Hidden and Dangerous 2
Morrowind
No One Lives Forever
Loved them all - each one was an immersive time sink.
No such thing as all time favorite anything for me. Not games, not books, not music, not movies. I may think that the best album of the past decade was Communion by Septic Flesh or Pursuit of the Sun and the Allure of the Earth by Woods of Ypres, but that will change. Nothing is constant. Tastes change, memories begin to appear smugged by rose tinted nostalgia.
There are games I remember fondly like No One Lives Forever, KKnD, WoW, the new Tomb Raider, but I couldn't call any of them an all time best.
I would never replay anything from the PS1, as far as I am concerned nothing has aged as poorly as those games.
Dark Age of Camelot. The best mmorpg ever made.
Resident Evil, 1, 2, and 3. Loved them.
Final Fantasy 1, 2, 3, and 7. Couldnt get any better then these.
In a world of sharp knives, you would be a spoon.
Toss up between
Elite
Half Life 1/2
Fallout 1/2
Wasteland
Planescape:Torment
AD&D Pools of Radiance
System Shock 1/2
it changes depending on mood lol.
Any of the old TSR gold box games
Fallout 1 & 2
Summoner for the PS2
Paradroid for the C-64
Mechwarrior 1-3
Guild Wars 2, I can never play traditional MMO's anymore.
World of Warcraft, no story can ever topple that one. It was epic on whole another scale.
As you said early Lineaege 2 was an experience like no other. My all time favorite too.
Master of Magic - Fantasy + Strategy = great and the magic system is unmatched till today
Master of Orion 2 - some newer games added innovative features but the total package of mmo2 is still the best
Nordlandtriologie (predecessor series to "The Dark eye - Drakensang) - one of the most complex rpg's i know while still being fun to play
^this^
for all the reasons listed, L2 was a great game up to c4 / c5, from solo to small group to mass battles the pvp was some of the best I have ever played.
Shenmue. The most immersive game I've ever played. Great graphics, memorable characters, amazing music. The level of object interaction is still among the best ever made. The combat system was deep and rewarding. Everything about that game felt hand crafted by developers who wanted to create something groundbreaking.

for the sake of nostalgia: SWGpreNGE, Vanguard, WolfensteinET
Bioshock, the only xbox game whose story kept me up all night playing it till i was done.
Civilization
and Oblivion, probably all time fav, i died a little inside b/c TESO got rid of the skill system and replaced it with a class only system. TESO also means there will more likely than not, never be a co-op version.

One could be called finite, the other infinite.
A finite game is played for the purpose of winning,
an infinite game for the purpose of continuing play."

Pitfall for the Atari. No?
Ok then, Ico (PS2) -The level design was fantastic for me, and just liked the whole feel of it.
and Silent Hill - The real creepiness I felt playing it, great atmosphere.
Diablo 2
Monkey Island 1&2
There was even a remake done for Monkey Island 1 & 2 with updated graphics, best adventure ever created IMO.
