Looking back on it, it can be hard to list my favorites, but some shine brighter than others. In somewhat chronological order:
Crash Bandicoot Nintendo 64?): Pretty much one of the first game I ever remember playing (Also woody woodpecker), it most likely started me on the path to what I am today. There is plenty of nostalgia for me there.
Super Smash Bros Melee/Brawl (Gamecube): We had this program at my elementary school where kids could stay at school after it ended and play around, with sections divided by grade. The best days were when they brought out the Gamecube. There were other games like Madden (meh) and Monkey Ball (Played that SOOOO much), but the best was when we got to duke it out in Melee. I don't quite remember how we transitioned into Brawl, but I loved that game even more than Melee. I haven't played the newest Smash that much, it seems ok.
Pokémon: I actually have never owned a DS or something that could play one of the main Pokémon games, but my friends did. I could not help but fall in love, and have never ceased to love it. I still have over a thousand Pokémon cards : P
Halo Reach (Others to a lesser extent) (Xbox 360): Literally came with the console. Pretty much the reason why I'm such an FPS fan. More often than not I was on top of the leaderboards, and I played the heck out of co-op campaign. I enjoy good campaigns, I adore co-op.
Call of Duty (XBOX 360): Black Ops I & II: Black Ops came after Halo. I can be very competitive in-game, and once again I played and played until I started to dominate. Zombies was a blast. Black Ops 2, in my opinion, was a direct upgrade. Same thing as first, I still have fond memories of Nuketown. Zombies, as usual, took up a large amount of my time.
Minecraft (PC): THE REASON I am now a part of the PC Master Race. I can definitely tell you it is my most played game of all time. I was not so much of a Vanilla player, you would usually find me on one of the bigger servers or exploring a mudpack. However, as with most games, my refusal to play any game but it burnt me out. I have not played it in months.
Team Fortress 2(PC): MY GOD I loved this game. MvM was fantastic, I was toping the leaderboards, but GOSH DARN VALVE WOULDN'T GIVE US ANY UPDATES, so the content started to grow stale. They did release a new update, but I haven't played it yet.
CSGO(PC): Was where I got my competitive fix up until a few months ago. Outsmarting and outaiming the enemy FILLED ME WITH SO MUCH ADRENALINE, I would get called out for being too enthusiastic.
Undertale: The feels, man. I could not put it down, and after I completed the pacifist route, I had no heart to do a genocide run until several months later. It is one of the few games that have made me feel emotional.
Metro 2033 Redux (PC): I first played this on the xbox, was turned off by the first scripted encounter, but a friend encouraged me to pick it back up. Boy was he right. Whether I was sneaking around the subway of post-apocalyptic Russia or gunning down enemies, I was captivated, The story is fantastic.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (PC): We all know why.
