It's really hard to go with only five. Games like Uncharted 2, SOCOM II, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, Final Fantasy X, Donkey Kong Country 2, NBA Jam, etc would all be right there for those 4/5 spots.

I could make a top 20 and it feels like it wouldn't be enough for all of my "favorite" games.

Defender
Pitfall/River Raid (tie)
Intelivision football (that screen play was undefendable)
Mario Bros
Sega Hockey

Castlevania Simons Quest! That is right up there..

From my childhood and teens, I'd have to say:

1. Super Mario 3
2. Zelda
3. Resident Evil
4. Ninja Gaiden
5. Final Fantasy 7

Since then:

1. The Orange Box
2. The Last of Us
3. Fallout 3
4. BioShock
5. Gears of War

There's so many others though...

but I'd say:

Final Fantasy 6
Final Fantasy Tactics
Mass Effect 2
DOTA 2
Uncharted 2 (or Last of Us, it's a toss-up)

.

2. Earthbound
3. Skyrim
4. Mass Effect 2
5. Icewind Dale

I like many genre's but most of my favorites have some sort of an RPG elements to them. Some runners up: Zombies Ate My Neighbors, WWE No Mercy, Fallout 3/NV, Halo 3, GTA V, KOTOR 1&2.

I always loved -

legacy of kain soul reaver

Mario 64
Mario Kart 64
Crash Bandicoot
Resident Evil
NCAA Football

Seriously, though- my PS3 runs Netflix like a champ.

NES Super Mario Bros
NES Mike Tyson Punch Out

Sega Genesis NHL '94
Sega Genesis NHL '96

Sega Genesis Bill Walsh College Football '95 (the all-time great teams here were a nice feature)

i think I have to do two lists: one of my five favorite games - for sentimental reasons, because I'm a sucker for certain narrative tropes, because of things the developer tried to do that turned out kinda hanky but I appreciated anyway - and another list of the five games I've played that people would generally consider the greatest.

My list:
Final Fantasy X - the game that awakened me to the world of RPGs, and more generally to genres other than sports and racing.
Crusader Kings II - The perfect blend of grand strategy, historical fiction and choose-your-own-adventure.
Yakuza 3/4 - I can't pick one without the other. Take GTA, get rid of the cars, add a heaping spoonful of Japanese soap opera and beat-me-up combat.
NieR - the saddest game I've ever played in my life, with the best, most ridiculous twist, and developers who never took no for an answer. Sure, it's a traditional Japanese ARPG at its roots, but hidden in there is a side-scrolling platformer, several bullet-hell bosses, a goddamn text adventure (!), my favorite implementation of New Game Plus... Oh, and one of the best video game soundtracks of all time.
Persona 4 The Golden - I bought a Vita to play this game, and even if I never bought another game for the Vita it would still be worth it.

"Consensus" list (taking into account opinions other than mine, but still limited to games I've played):
Persona 4 The Golden
Ocarina of Time
Super Mario 64
Xenoblade Chronicles
Final Fantasy VII

I'm currently playing Pillars of Eternity, which has an outside chance to make both of these lists... It's still early but I've put in about 20 hours and have yet to find fault with any of it.

I've got some quibbles (the skill system; low joinable-NPC variety; some likely-to-be-patched balance and player-feedback issues), but I'm super-satisfied with having backed it at a few multiples of the retail price.
