I'm not gonna put EVE on since it's not like other games, not gonna rank them either cause I like them all for different reasons:
Rome: Total War - The finest example of the series IMO. Okay, so the non Roman factions were a bit lacklustre and the battle engine wasn't the best, but Rome just feels like it has more character than Medieval II, and was much more revolutionary.
Warcraft 3 - One of the most fun online strategy games that's had be addicted for god knows how many years now, it also had one of the best single player stories of the strategy genre. But damn you Blizzard for making WoW and scuppering my hopes of Warcraft 4. :/
Morrowind - Excellent story driven RPG which gave you endless choices. Far more atmospheric than Oblivion, and really sucked you in. The vast modding community have made this game even better.
Ye Olde LucasArts games - Day of the Tenctacle specifically, pure awesome, don't make games like this anymore. :V
Final Fantasy series - Don't care how cliched the plot is, or how weird they all get on the end, each one of these that I've played (with the exception of the latest one) have drawn me in and not let me out again.
That's probably the 5 games I like the most, other ones I'd mention are Dawn of War, Hostile Waters, Sacrifice (get this if you don't have it), Psychonauts (same as before), Portal and Vampire Bloodlines.

UFO: Enemy Unknown / X-Com TFTD / Apoc
Gave me nightmares when I was younger, probably played it more than any other game over the years, had a laptop specially for it which I would take with me to work, I used to use lightning's a lot.
Freespace 1 & 2
Most atmoshperic game(s) ever, way ahead of its time, great story and great looking game(s) even their intro's were amazing, the erinyes was like a 8 gun vaga, and the medusa was pwnage
Master of Orion II
An absolutely epic space game, games could last days, and it was great fun in the massive battles
Fallout 1, 2 and tactics
hella atmospheric back in the day, I still remember my first time playing fallout and getting a 9mm smg and going to town on some rats in vault 15, was the coolest thing ever, also fallout tactics was great fun, incendiary grenade lobbing deathclaws always had comic results
Civilization
I played them all to death, from I to IV and all are such great games.

In no particular order, because I am lazy.
Homeworld 2 - Best Space Strategy ever?
the Baldurs Gate "saga"
Descent II - in terms of shear entertainment, it was a blast
Doom II - First game I ever bought, $50 new, back when they still made fullsize boxes, I wish I still had it.
Galactic Civilizations II - god, I spent more time with this game then I care to admit.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: my local McDonalds was burnt down by ELF whilst I was playing Diablo. I never noticed.
I then bought D2 the next day on September 9 and ordered my new comp on September 10. Guess what happened next?

1. Heroes of Might and Magic
Well...This is what started me in video games. It was the only game installed in my mom's office computer when I was like 4, played that and it's sequels ever since. I almost cried when 3do was closed, but at least ubisoft kept on making it.
2. StarCraft
Self explanatory, everyone played this back in ninety's should know.
3. Diablo
Same as Above.
3. Homeworld
Don't need to say much, read OP.
4. Command And Conquer: Red Alert 2
Little less known I think, but it was popular in China and yes I loved it.
5. EVE-Online

Oh man I feel so guilty not putting Rome on my list now. I love playing as Greece and Carthage personally; they were the only other really well fleshed out factions other than the Roman houses, SPQR and Gaul.
I had such a good time attacking Rome with elite Carthaginian fighting forces with a few elephants in tow. Utter pwn.

BATTLEFIELD 1942 - My first FPS ever, I still play occasionally, Midway being the best map ever. It may be outdated but it produced countless great mods and is still very playable to this day.
EVE - Does anyone need to justify this?
HALFLIFE - Great singleplayer game, the storyline was fun and required a little thinking too.
AGE OF EMPIRES II - had many a laugh with friends linking this up over a LAN.
ATOMIC BOMBERMAN - hard to get hold of but it is truly an epic game. EPIC I SAY

1/ C&C Zero hour
Loved this game with a passion,I played for a clan called warrior nation.
Some of the best AI ever.
2/NeverWinter Nights
This game was like crack,I once played a 21 hour session eating only snacks and drinking Jack Daniels.
The player built realms were awesome and allowed us to be as creative as we wanted.
3/Entropia Universe
Not really a game but still a great way to waste time,Met some great people on calypso had a blast on minning runs and hunting trips.took a year before i started to profit from the game.Looking forward to the full implementation of cry2.
This game would merge beautifully with eve.
4/Grand Theft Auto Vice city
loved this game for it music.Haven't tried gta4 yet.
5/Final Fantasy VII
One of the first rpg games i ever got addicted to, loved the story line.
Im gunna give Jumping jack a mention as this was the first game i can remember playing,I used to sit in my pjs in the dark in the middle of the night hoping my mum wouldnt catch me trying to beat my high score(ha ha)
Great thread Splagada.

1. SWAT 3 / 4
Kind of a rarity in the FPS genre what with the mature and considered approach to violence. Odd given how much violence FPS games feature. Any shooter where you're trying not to shoot the bad guys deserves some kind of mention. The AI also ****es on just about every other game in the genre from great height.
2. Planescape: Torment
A CRPG with a storyline that isn't cliched sub-Tolkeinesque gibberish and interesting well written characters? zomg
3. H&D2
Wish they'd make a sequel.
4. TIE Fighter
Awesomesauce spacesim. I can't really explain why it was so perfect but it was. I-War was also awesome but this was Star Wars back before the prequels had come out.
5. Metal Gear Solid 3
I love this series and I liked the low tech direction.
Honourable mentions:
Speedball 2, Chrono Trigger, Rock & Roll Racing, Chronicles of Rid****

Sacrifice (it'd be criminal not to mention a game from shiney from the golden age of pc gamming) even though id love to put down dungeon keeper 2 on an equal par.
The lot of them maybe q2 aside never date a day, the greatness of tycoon, champ man, sacrifice/dk2.. is all in the simple stuff that floats around in the head
