If everyone here played Final Fantasy 7, they would all nominate it.

Definitely one of the top games ever made.

Indeed, so many fond memories of that game.

Some games I think should at least be considered for the list (not at all my personal favorites, but they are iconic games not yet listed).
GTA IV
Need for Speed (really just take whichever one is best, I only played 2).
Age of Empires I
Halo 1/2/3
Runescape

Runescape!!! lol

I also was sad to find out that I can't vote for moo2 with a clear conscience anymore. Played it lately, the controlls in a big galaxy are tedious...there should have been a way to create an own instance of autobuild. =(

Yeah...i'm a bit old school but I never had more fun with recent games than 10-15 years ago.

I agree with all 3 of them ! Especially Heroes 3, I still play that game ...

looking forward to voting but im confused as to why mass effect is in the rpg genre and mass effect 3 is in action and adventure, and maybe im missing it but i dont' see mass effect 2 listed at all and that may be one of the most important. sorry aside from scbw and sc2 mass effect series is definatly in my top 5 but just curious all the mass effects have rpg elements but i guess i would call the action adventure but please add mass effect 2 aswell thx k look forward to voting.

I'm getting concerned... as long as Adventure as a single category includes games as completely dissimilar as Ocarina of Time and Grim Fandango, we can all be sure legitimate adventure games (GF, Curse of Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, and your personal favourites) will be squelched by misclassified action adventure like Zelda. No ill will to Zelda.

And that's not fair to Grim Fandango, yo. Numba woon.

The rest of my picks, disgustingly free of genre filtering:

Thief 2 (which should probably be included over Thief Dark Project if only one of the series is up for a spot)
System Shock 2
Deus Ex
Curse of Monkey Island
Fallout 2
Vampire Bloodlines
Half Life 2
Psychonauts
Planescape: Torment
Chrono Trigger
LOOM
MGS1
Gothic 2
Dark Souls
