Lost Planet: Extreme Condition.
This demo sold me on the Xbox 360. This campaign is a wild ride, starting with a Halo 2 esque segment with a Kaiju and a small army losing, a time skip, and then following Wayne as he tries to make it with his tiny rag-tag PMC crew fighting monsters you have no business fighting. And somehow the finale is a Mecha fueled shonen fever dream, and every single beat of it is awesome.
And then we get to the multiplayer. This game made me some of the best friends...
Half-Life is a game that you truly can only experience once. It's THE game to lock the door, turn down the lights, wear headphones, and just EXPERIENCE it. It was genre defining at the time, and it's still a great Sci-Fi thriller experience. The G-Man still is an inspirational BBEG, and the opening of this game has a dedication to pacing that requires patience, but absolutely pays off.
