Final Fantasy VII
Tomb Raider 1
Zelda: Ocarina Of Time
Skies Of Arcadia
Final Fantasy VIII

These are the 5 that gave me the most involving emotional experience playing through them
The square is a great shape, and one that is criminally underused in modern game design. In the push to ever more granular, chaotic environments, games have lost sight of the simple pleasures of right angles and straight lines.

Not sure about people including a series as a single choice (PES series, Buldur's Gate series, etc) - it's cheating!
