Heavy Rain. The whole damn game. That is all.

Also seconded. Can't believe I missed that one.

Metro 2033. The game did a really good job of making you feel like you're in a fight for survival not just with monsters but your fellow man as well.

**SPOILERS**

Dragon Age: Origins - I really enjoyed the Origin stories, they each had their own way of building relationships with your characters, ones that you cared about, and then ripping them away from you. After that, they introduced you to everyone at Ostagar, who end up getting betrayed and killed. At that point, I was so in to the game that I played long into the night. And finally the way you are able to interact with your companions, Morrigan in particular.

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - I really liked how Link was portrayed in this game, he had so much to live for, and you go on this amazing journey to fight and protect it. But by the end, I knew that Link would have rather gone through the mirror with Midna. I really enjoyed how it played out.

Dragon Age 2 - I really enjoyed how you were able to interact with your family during this game, and I was shocked and impressed at BioWare as they were taken from you one by one. Other than that, I still really enjoyed the interaction with companions.

Betrayal at Krondor (Krondor: the Betrayal) - I had a strong reaction to this game because of the books that the game was based on. If you've read Raymond E. Feist's very, very long series of books, and you're into fantasy adventures and D&D, then you'll know why.

Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance I&II - Both games were very well written, mostly I am putting this here because the third game, the finale to the trilogy, was never released and I never got to see how the story played out.

Quest 64 - One of the best, and possibly most underrated games of all time. The incredible story of a boy who travels across a continent to save his father and stop the gathering forces of evil from obtaining the Eletale Book.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - This is probably the best Zelda game ever released. I became incredibly attached to Link and Navi (yes I know she is annoying). As a kid this was one of my favorite games and it still is today.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed I&II: I really did like Starkiller and Juno and the way they were approached and developed. While I realize that the games were disliked by many and didn't strictly follow the Canon of Star Wars. I really enjoyed playing through them.

Eternally Us was one of the few games that really got to me and touched me.

Otherwise, Illusion of Gaia is my major one. I still will probably LP it (despite streaming the entire game already and beating it countless times). It was my first 'adventure' game that I completed completely on my own.

It's not the best game, not the best story, not the best characters, but for me, it will always hold this place of great magic for me. I know I'm a gamer nerd, but most of us have this one game that really means a lot to us. I'll always look on that game as one of my favorites of all time.

Baldur's gate 1&2
I enjoyed these so much, you were able to watch your character develop from a peasant in Candlekeep to a God, replacing the former lord of murder. I loved how many choices it gave you in character creation, party development, etc. They even gave the choice to turn down the Godly status.
These games were amazing, I loved almost everything about them. I still get a feeling of nostalgia whenever I pull up a game and hear the title music.

Now that I think about it, when I beat Dragon Age: Origins, I was really depressed. I was sad that the adventure was over, I really felt like I accomplished something playing that game, and I'll never forget my reaction to Morrigan leaving. I thought for sure you'd be able to convince her to stay after you kill the archdemon, and then she's not at the corrination, and I was like "wtf?, she just left? what a b****!" And then saying goodbye to all the characters I had grown attached to over the game... it really was depressing and awesome at the same time. Dunno If I'll ever be as emotionally invested in a game as I was in DA:O. Just knowing my warden was off to look for Morrigan, forsaking riches and titles... It was badass.
