I would say Counter-Strike but honestly I think Call of Duty 4 and Battlefield 2 really changed my gaming world. They were one of the most fun I had with an online multi-player game. After that, I was more focused on FPS games. All the Call of Duty games after 4 were complete crap.
Probably Final Fantasy 7 for introducing me to that Genre.
Resident Evil for showing me games can be scary.
Baldurs Gate 2 and others in that specific D&D Genre for introducing me to my favourite genre.
As it goes for big life impacts probably WOW for getting me friends and being social in a Networking way which is something i hadnt done before to that extent.
Ocarina of Time. This game really raised the bar and my standards. It left an impression unlike any other game I have ever played.
Other noteworthy games are SimCity 2000 & Sid Meiers' Alpha Centauri.
Super Street Fighter 2 (SNES). I put hours and hours into it when I was a kid. Nowadays, I can barely stomach a fighting game. :P

LOL same here. I remember playing that game for hours and hours with friends, figuring out the best ways to beat their moves and playstyles, screaming at the controller when I know a move I did didn't register :P
I personally spent more time with Street Fighter 2 than Super Street Fighter 2 though -- using mostly Ken and Guile and taking advantage Guile's cheapness (slow sonic boom + throw) of course. Man, those were the days!!! Honestly, other than the Battlefield series I don't think I ever played or enjoyed local or online multiplayer any more than that.
I don't know, a game that changed my life forever sounds just a tad dramatic but I'll mention No One Lives Forever. That was probably the [awesome] game that got me hooked on first person shooters and I haven't looked back since -- love the immersion of the viewpoint and the feeling of exploring your environment. I had played Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, etc before, but the genre just didn't "click" for me at the time. NOLF influenced me to finally get around to playing Half-Life which I loved as well.
Probably half life. It was the first shooter I remember playing and probably one of the first violent games I remember playing. But also, it was the most memorable.
Almost exactly what i was going to say, except i still play it and i didnt build my computer.I would probably say Counter-Strike. Although I don't play it much anymore it's the game that got me into seroius pc gaming to start and drove me to build my very first home built computer.
