System wars top 10 games of all time - PART 1

I've seen alot of top 10's - sometimes they are one persons opinion, some times a magazines opinion. I want to get system wars opinion to create a top 10 - seeing that we are all so opinionated at all!

PART 1 - before we can discuss what game is 10th place and what game is 1st place we need the candidates. Can you all post what games you feel should be in the top 10 games of all time. You can post 1 game, or you can post 10 games. For the purpose of this part, DO NOT worry about the ordering - that will come in part 2. At the moment I just need a nice big list of games that you think are worthy of a top 10 spot.

Remember this is of all time - from pong right through to recent releases like gears of war 2. They have to be individual games, not a series of games, but you could have two (or more) in your list from the same series.

Doom2

Quake 3 arena

Starcraft

SM64

UMK3

Empire Total war

Half life

Teamfortress Classic

And lastly, Fallout 1

Lol - i'm chucking them into a spreadsheet as they get mentioned.....its already turned out to be a bad idea!

I'm hoping i'll get easier once I have all the games in there, then I can just pull the cell down each time a game gets a re-mention.
