I love lists like this. They really give me a chance to get my thoughts together and actually reflect a little.
1. Shenmue
I've never been so invested in a fictional character's story and world. I was hyped up for at least a year before finally getting to play it, and it was more than I hoped for.
2. Yakuza 2
The original Yakuza was a disappointment for me, but I had faith in its gameplay mechanics and direction. The trailer for Yakuza 2 sold me, and it improved upon almost everything that I had an issue with originally. *I'll also reserve this spot for Yakuza Kiwami 2.
3. Resident Evil 2
This is THE game that did it for me. Before this, I was only casually playing beat'em-ups and wrestling games as a kid, but my interest in video games was cemented when I first laid eyes on this. Scared me to death back then, but I couldn't get enough of it. This is my favorite game in the series, and it's the reason this series is one of my favorites in gaming. *Like with the number 2 spot, I'll also leave this open for the Resident Evil 2 remake.
...I originally wanted to list my top five, but really, after doing the first three, it just became difficult. So I'll leave it at this
