I am generally anti-Console, but I'll include the few console games that have forced me to buy their particular system.

Console:
GoldenEye -"Why are you guys always walking sideways? Strafing is faster!" Also, remember the thing where you can get Bond to dual wield 2 different guns with the right combination of button mashing? Also that moment when you realize you just walked up to a Proximity Mine.
Gran Turismo series - I'll never forget how crushed I was when I found out (and ran into) the 100-car limit in GT2.
MarioKart64 - Block Fort
Tecmo Superbowl -The 110 yard pass cannot be beat, nor can the music. Or the cheerleader-filled halftime.

PC (The real way to play video games)
Civilization Series (especially Civ2) -I've spent too many hours of my life in Civ2 moving units down multi-continent railroad lines because the game's GoTo feature is garbage.
Fallout series - In FO1 and FO2 you never knew which dialogue option might cause someone to initiate combat, leaving you with the decision of reloading a save, or wiping out the whole town. FO3 is different but great in its own way.
HalfLife 1&2, CounterStrike - CS is probably the game I've spent the most hours of my life playing. I used to be the unchallenged king of the P228. Also the APC in all its dangerous glory on Siege.
Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2 - The "ohhhhh" moment in Kotor1, and force persuading 2 thugs to jump into a bottomless pit in Kotor2.
Desert Combat (BF1942 mod) - This was totally better than the original game, although I'm biased towards modern weaponry. Anyone play DCX with the rocket-boosted DPVs? Great times, that sadly BF2 couldn't quite match.

Honorable Mention (console & PC):
SimCity series
BioShock
Portal
System Shock 2
Deus Ex
Ultima Online
Super Mario Brothers 3
M.A.X.
Empire Earth
Doom 2
Grand Theft Auto series
RB6: Raven Shield
Shadows of the Empire (snowspeeder level)
