This is just yet another topic that will descend into a flame war because "Best of..." answers are purely subjective, yet some lower-intelligent people believe that because THEY say something, then that's the be all and end all right there and everybody else should follow suit and denounce their obviously false conceptions about what they thought was a decent gaming experience, then the replies that denigrate anybody who dares disagree with them will follow suit, thereby rendering yet another "Best of..." thread a barren wasteland for those who clicked it to possibly, just possibly, get a few ideas of other great games that they could try out.

Half Life series

My personal favourites include:
Planescape: Torment
Ultima 7
Age of Wonders
Riven
Europa Universalis 4
Victoria 2
Majesty: The fantasy kingdom sim
Fallout 2 (1 & New Vegas are also excellent)
Thief: The Dark Project (I seem to be one of the few who actually prefer the first one, and I think the non-gold version is better, due to me not finding 2 out of 3 gold levels to be good at all, and the level they changed was made worse)
Dawn of War 1
Civilization 2 & 5
Alpha Centauri
Sacrifice
Morrowind (modded! Skyrim might be a better game, but Morrowind has a better setting)
Gothic 1 (another case of me finding the first game best, even though most seem to think that part 2 is better)
MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries (again, I seem to be fond of one of the "lesser" games in the series)
Stars!
Dwarf Fortress
Team Fortress 2
Jagged Alliance 2

And no, I can't narrow it down a lot further. All of those are amazing in their own way.

Mass effect 2 and Skyrim .

Very hard question and very subjective. If you ask an annoying teenage twat, he'll probably say GTA V, Halo or worse yet, some fucking Call of Duty game. If you ask a really casual gamer, he'll say LoL, because chances are it's the only game he plays. If you ask most chicks, they'll say The Sims 3(cause it's the video-game version of playing with a doll-house). If you ask a new-age rpg lover, he'll say Mass Effect 2(pathetic). Ask an old-school, hard-core rpg lover and he'll say the original Baldur's Gate. And the fans of old-school fps games will say half Life(even though Half Life 2 is CLEARLY superior).

For me, it was a hard decision. When making it, I took into account 3 things: game-play, atmosphere and most importantly...STORY and WRITING. That means that games like World of Goo, Unreal Tournament or Tetris are automatically excluded. For me, story is very important in a video game, because it is truly what separates the good games from the great games. You can have all the awesome physics-based game-play you want, but if you don't have a story to go with it, you're not gonna compete with the games that do, in my eyes(looking at you, Half Life 2). And even if you have nice stories with decent writing(Assassin's Creed 2, Dishonored, Mass Effect), it's NOT enough. You have to be PERFECT, not have flaws such as : tons of cliches(AC 2), needlessly silent protagonist(Dishonored), extremely bland and boring protagonist(Mas Effect). So the real games with the greatest stories are games like: Max Payne 2, Grand Theft Auto IV, Spec Ops The Line.

But apart from story, you need the atmosphere, a bizzare and unique setting to go with it and give the game a wonderful over-all feeling. And New York, Liberty city and Dubai just aren't the places to deliver that. Nothing wrong with them, but they're just a little too mundane. You know what game has that? S.T.A.L.K.E.R - Shadow of Chernobyl. Actually, games from the ex-soviet space in general, but this one just rose above all expectations.

But what about game-play? Shadow of Chernobyl is, also in that aspect, a good game, without a doubt. But it's plagued with a somewhat poor technical execution and some terrible imperfections that didn't really make it a candidate for number 1 in my book. So only one game truly remained. A game that set out to fulfill everything that S.T.A.L.K.E.R tried to do and yet didn't fully succeed. A game that came out the very next year and blew my mind away, the perfect blend of almost complete flawlessness in all those 3 elements. A game that created a world of unprecedented immersion in video-games and captured the magic that not even its extremely critically acclaimed successor could not. An overflowing whirlpool of ideas and innovation that I absorbed like a sponge drains water. And all this without sacrificing an once of its fun factor. A game that managed to be FPS, RPG, adventure, survival-horror and Hollywood super-hero summer block-buster movie, ALL IN ONE, and nail each and every one of these things. I am talking, of course, about the brilliant and unsurpassed masterpiece that is Bioshock. A game in a class all of its own, an experience which I find very unlikely to ever be replicated in the years before the end of human civilization. Hell, if not even Ken Levine could do it again, despite trying 2 times(second time as hard as he could), what chances do the mere mortal game designers remaining have?
