I've been gaming for a long time... When I was a kid I'd play the original Donkey Kong on my Intelivision along with astrosmash, tank Battle, Dungeons & Dragons etc... While I loved many games along the way, it wasn't untill about halfway through the lifespan of the Gamecube that a game just completely hit and floored me as the greatest game I ever played.
That game was Pikmin 2... I was just completely consumed by that world. All the creatures, all the silly observations by Olimar, all the hilarious recipes that Louie suggests using the monsters you encounter along the way, and the Ship's sales pitches for all the treasure you find... I've been in a reminiscent mood since Pikmin was confirmed to make a big appearance at this years E3 so I decided to revisit the wonderful world of Pikmin (a humanless earth) and explore it through the eyes of a 4cm tall alien explorer again... I have fallen in love once again.
This isn't about what your favourite game is now, but rather a question about what that very first major game was in your life that consumed your mind and sparked your imagination... What was that game?

Ocarina of time or a link to the past. God those games.... so amazing.
FF7. Mainly because during that stage of my childhood, I don't really remember anything EXCEPT FF7. No joke, I was emmersed in it. To this day, I havn't played a game that matched that experience. If I play it again, I'll probably start crying tears of nostalgia just listening to the different theme songs.
I'm going way back to before I really had a true appreciation for games, but in my youth, when I was only playing MS-DOS games, Duke Nukem I and Duke Nukem II were easily my favorite games. I played them until my parents would yell at me to outside. In modern consoles, Bioshock hit me as being truly incredible. The best looking graphics at the time, and a deep immersive story. Still love that game.
