I'll say Resident Evil on the PS for being the first game to ever scare me

mmmmmmmmm.......system shock 2 i got to say - mixed combat/survivalism strategy/horror/good story/decent puzzles like no other game before or since. Thief 2 was also brilliant, but was *leaner* in scope so SS2 comes out ahead. Game designers could do worse to take some serious pointers from these games more than others.

Was also kind of tempted by FF7 but only for the sub games - was cool you could forget about the overall story and go about becoming a chocobo stable owner, breeding your chocobos to get the best chocobo you could - but its a case of not quite.

Quake III Arena

although not the first FPS type game which was Wolfenstein 3D, Quake III Arena when it came out in 1999 brought something new graphicaly and gameplay wise that hadn't been seen before and for which one needed a decent to high end system at the time to play the game with any decent frame rate.

today Quake III Arena still holds its own and the engine (although slightly tweaked) has been used in dozens of popular mods and other very popular games (such as Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Call of Duty, Star Trek Elite Force 2 etc. etc.). no other game offers gameplay as fast paced or as fluid as Quake III Arena in my opinion, for that alone and the other reasons above, Quake III Arena stands out as my favourite game ever.
