My Top 10
1. Final Fantasy IX -- perfect JRPG, imo.
2. FF X
3. Chrono Cross
4. Metal Gear Solid (PS1)
5. Street Fighter (series)
6. Marvel vs Capcom 2
7. MGS 3
8. Tekken (series)
9. Crash Team Racing -- under-the-radar game I preferred over Mario Kart
10. WWE Smackdown games (PS1 iterations ONLY--mostly b/c my friends and I really were into those games in middle school and would spend hours creating characters and doing battle; some of the best times I've ever had in my life)

All time? Well, in no particular order...

1. Halo 1
2. Fallout New Vegas (if only it didnt make my PS3 crash for no reason all the time)
3. Bad Company 2
4. MGS 1
5. Bubble Bobble
6. A Link to the Past
7. Star Wars: Knights of the old Republic
8. Red Dead Redemption
9. Misc JRPG tie: Suikoden I/II, Xenogears, Front Mission 3, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6
10. Super Mario Kart (SNES battle mode)

I'm sensing an age gap, though. You're only going as far back as PS1.

I'm 23...

first console was NES, then had SNES, but, as you can probably tell from my list, not a big Nintendo fan at all.

Never REALLY enjoyed a mario, zelda, metroid, DK game in my life to be honest. Only nintendo games I recall having a great time with are the smash games.

Metroid Prime 1. Unparalleled atmosphere and gameplay.
Final Fantasy 6. I played it as 3 on the Snes. Maxed everyone's levels.
GTA 3 even though I played it on PC. I wasted so much time just driving down the sidewalk running down pedestrians.
God of War. Couldn't stop playing the first level over and over. Just to impale that hydra one more time! Seriously intense.
Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. The best arguments for video games being art. If the third proves to be anywhere near as good, I might have to buy a PS3.
Street Fighter Alpha series and Tony Hawk that just may have caused that D in fourth year quantum mechanics that I had to beg to get changed to a C in order to graduate.

I was actually thinking of a somewhat related concept... namely the most memorable games on the consoles I've had or have.

So, going WAY old school to start. Mind you, there will be some omissions based on the fact that this is centered around the library I had as well as my personal preferences. (as a result, multi platform games are listed on the platform I had them on)

Atari 2600: Combat (honorable mentions: Pitfall, Asteroids)

Nintendo Entertainment System: Super Mario Bros. (honorable mention: Tecmo World Wrestling)

Game Boy: Tetris (honorable mention: Pokemon Yellow)

Super Nintendo Entertainment System: Super Mario World (honorable mention: WWF Raw)

PlayStation: Metal Gear Solid (honorable mentions: Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy Tactics)

Nintendo 64: WWF No Mercy (honorable mentions: Goldeneye, Mario Kart 64)

PlayStation 2: Final Fantasy X (honorable mentions: Spider-Man 2, Metal Gear Solid 2, WWF SmackDown Series, Madden series, ESPN NFL 2K5, Grand Theft Auto series)

Nintendo DS: Pokemon Series (honorable mention: Phoenix Wright series)

Wii: Super Smash Bros. Brawl (honorable mentions: Super Paper Mario, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Mario Kart Wii)

PlayStation 3: Rock Band series (honorable mentions: WWE SmackDown vs. RAW series, Grand Theft Auto IV, Saints Row 2, Madden series, Red Dead Redemption, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Metal Gear Solid 4)

XBox 360: Gears of War II (honorable mentions: Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Mass Effect, Halo 3)
