Can't be beat. Music is ace. Story is ace. Adventure is ace. Gameplay is incredible for something so simple.
Beast. This is still the best mechwarrior game.
Best RTS I've ever had the opportunity to play. I made it to top 20 in the world. So incredible this game, no other RTS played like this, especially when it came to team games.
Gotta be up there as well. This game is the root of the largest MOBAs in the world and the largest MMO in the world. What an incredible game, solo played very differently from 2s. Single player campaign was easily some of the best in an RTS. I thought this was better than Starcraft storyline.
Starcraft should be here as honorable mention with the above 2.
Red Alert also honorable mention here, I managed to break top 200 during the peak of online play here on Case's ladder. Fun game, but overwhelmed with performance issues, and balance was terrible.
Before Red Alert though, there was Dune. And Dune was incredible for it's time.
Moving quickly to the game that has sucked up a year of my (awake) life.
World of Warcraft Classic.
Rounding off the RPGs
System Shock 2, Baldur's Gate I/II, Planescape Torment
Firing off on FPS titles
Quake 2/3A, Half Life, Counter Strike
Honorable mention for Battlezone remake.
You'll notice that my top games list holds a ton of games from Activision from a very specific era where they created incredible sound tracks and left them on the cd and you could just play them. From Mechwarrior 2 to Dark Reign to Battlezone, they all had them.
Really wish they invested that type of money into music instead of graphics.
