Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Even though I don't play it much now.
It's a turn based strategy, and it's so... Good.
Trust me guys, try it out. The game has a soul. I enjoy its graphics more than any other games' graphics. They are so nice (even now). The sound is even better. Everything about it is good. Everything.

It was an amazing game back then. Now it is different from what it was like.
this is by far one of the best online games that i have played...really challenging and the gameplay is really one of the best.
EQ2 for its guild halls which you could lvl and housing + open world football manager ,Pokémon, heros of might and magic and peggle would be up there as well just for pure addiction
Tie Fighter, the missions where tight and you felt proud having sent the Rebels packing. I felt a greater sense of immersion in the Star Wars universe in Tie Fighter than in 6 months of SWOTR.
It is a complete sandbox, ever changing world where my decisions have real consequences, community is key, there are rewards and punishments, it is my responsibility to make myself into the 'hero' and it has a harsh perma-death system.
Star Wars Galaxies - It kept me hooked from the day it was released to the day it shut down, and I would still be playing it now if it and all my characters was still around. No other game has kept me that hooked, before or after it.

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.
I would say L2 was my favorite mmo. Though I only liked what they did with the game up to about Chronicle 3 or 4.
Shame I can't play it anymore because, for some unknown reason, I get the worst lag. It's actually unplayable for me.
Like Skyrim? Need more content? Try my Skyrim mod "Godfred's Tomb."
Pool of Radiance It was, what it was suppose to be. A game of D&D. At no step did it fail to accomplish that goal.

Konfess your cyns and some maybe forgiven Boy: Why can't I talk to Him? Mom: We don't talk to Priests. As if it could exist, without being payed for. F2P means you get what you paid for. Pay nothing, get nothing. Even telemarketers wouldn't think that. It costs money to play. Therefore P2W.
Chrono Trigger - Easily the overall best game I've played.
Lufia 2 - Awesome Rpg with some cool elements that have been forgotten about long ago sadly, (though some have been revived such as the 100 lvl dungeon that was introduced in Sword art online )
Final Fantasy 7 - Best and most memorable villain (sephiroth)
EQ1 - Easily the best mmorpg I've played, the difficulty made it worthwhile.
Skyrim - Easily the most immersive game I have ever played.
Mount and Blade - By far the most engaging, entertaining and skill based combat I have ever seen in a game, I am sad that more games havnt tried to adapt theyr combat system.
Minecraft - Truely ground breaking, will influence alot of games to come in the future.
Theres a bunch of other games I would like to mention but I should restrain myself somewhat.
and a game I can't remember the name of, played out like final fantasy and was based in feudal japan. I think my character was a ninja. Oh yeah, it was on the nes.

Fallout 2 (I recently replayed this, still just as awesome)
Dungeon Keeper 2 (as above)
Morrowind
007: Goldeneye on N64
Twinsen's Odyssey (also replayed this, which was an absolute mission to get running properly on windows 7... was worth it)
Ton of others but these are certainly in the top 10.
O_o o_O
Eve online for 7years and counting
Football manager series, The original SI Games version, not the bastardized (read eidos) version or Championship Manager series post SI Games split
But note still buy every season for CM but nothing feels like the 96-02 years of it
GoldenEye on N64
Mario Cart
then, the game that started it all for me Manic Miner on Spectrum 48 (rubber keys and all)
This post is all my opinion, but I welcome debate on anything i have put, however, personal slander / name calling belongs in game

EVE Online - I've never experienced the same kind of rush, immersion and excitement in any other game!
Dungeon Keeper - Oh, I have great memories of this game. Back when I was a kid I used to play it a lot, and it was hilariously fun
"EVE is likely the best MMORPG that you've never really understood or played" - Kyleran
There is 3 games I'll never get bored with.
1) Diablo 3
2) Guild Wars 2
3) Fall Out 2&3
Final Fantasy 7 and all the zelda's.
Nostalgia? nope. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0K2Pe0lBWQ
Wasteland/Fallout 1/Fallout 2
Half Life 1/2
System shock 2
Thief 1/2
Because I still go back and play them occasionally and they still entertain me every time.
Also I miss Looking Glass Studios and the old Interplay.
Dark Age of Camelot
why ? world class realm vs realm warfare
Morrowind, Skyrim, Oblvion.
These are the games I "go back to" as the game play really fits what I enjoy.

Star Trek Online - Best Free MMORPG of 2012
I can't answer that question. Different times, different favourites etc. Apples. oranges too with all those different genres that I like.
But at this moment, it is Minecraft, Skyrim and Civ 5 probably. See, I can't even chose between games I currently play.
EQ (MMO)
WoW vanilla (MMO)
EVE (MMO)
UO (MMO)
Baldurs Gate (RPG)
Morrwind (RPG)
Skyrim (RPG)
Doom (Shooter)

Baldur's Gate (1) - Best RPG ever made for the computer. Sadly the remake sucks with all enhancements
Morrowingd - Best TES RPG made with real depth story and good player-mods.
Half-life (1) - I'm not a FPS player but this one really was well done with good story and suspense
Final Fantasy 7 - As said before... Pure nostalgia and I even bought the PC remake of it
