I thought about this all yesterday and I'm going to have to say shadow of colossus as well.

It's one of the few games that actually made me feel like a little kid again when playing it. Every new boss was exciting.

It was a really cool story even though there was hardly any dialogue, and it had a really inventive way of having puzzles and no puzzles at the same time. Bosses in that game were puzzles. Although I was disappointed with the final colossus, the rest of the game was stellar. The graphics were just mind blowing for when it came out, and there are still few games that can match the expansive world, or just the magnitude of that game.

It's one of the few games I feel like I could go back in time and say, "one day games will be like this, though not many, but those that are, they are worth waiting for... sometimes."

Lol.

EDIT:

I just thought about Disgaea DOOD! DOOD WHAT AN AWESOME GAME! DOOD! It's a pretty good example of how funny and awesome a game can be.
