I'm not going to require* this be limited to 'console only titles'... but...
Mine favs are older, because I've never owned a console so these were all played in my youth on friend's consoles:
Nobunaga's Ambition; The Lost Vikings and Norse by Norsewest; Legend of Zelda and LoZ: A Link to The Past†; and the Mario Carts (primarily 1, but I've played the others over the years). Oh, and Diablo, despite already my owning it on PC, my second ex picked it up for her Playstation and we played the hell out of it together (she's a Dirty Console Peasant).
I've also played button mash-fighters, but only as a "it's a party and I'm board" type thing. Fighting games aren't my thing, despite being good at them.
* Especially seeing as my first title I played excessively on PC as well...
† I played it so damn much the theme music and final Ganon fight are imprinted on brain.

Twisted Metal: Black - Best vehicle combat experience I have played so far.
Strider - Joystick/Button combination moves along with the setting was an addictive experience.
Bomberman - The more opponents faced at once, the better the experience.
Conker's Bad Fur Day - So many references and crude sexual humor left a lasting impression.

Shining Force and Shining Force II rank as my top favorites, with Shadowrun for the Genesis coming in third.

Sonic the Hedgehog. The first one has always had a fond place in my heart. I remember playing the heck out of that to the tunes of Van Halen and Bon Jovi as a kid.

I'll limit myself to games that are console only, or console mainly.
Mario Kart (Nintendo various) - A staple on every Nintendo system since its introduction, because who *doesn't* love cart, er, Kart racing? The variety of tracks, vast array of drivers, and often cursed at but never changing rubber-band A.I. give this game its charm. I cannot even fathom how many hours we wasted on this in college. Good times!
Perfect Dark (Nintendo 64) - A sneaker / shooter that pushed the capabilities of the N64 to its limit. Featuring a wide array of satisfying weapons, strong level design, and a wacky superspy + sci-fi plot that makes not a lick of sense but you won't care. Also notable for its 4 player split screen multiplayer.
Halo series (Xbox) - I've fallen away from it lately, but at its peak there was no better game of "shoot guns at aliens". The regenerating shield and two-weapons-at-a-time limit were subtly revolutionary in their day. Has some amazing set-piece battles and boss fights backed up by a bombastic, hummable soundtrack. Great fun.

Ah, Conker. I recall being paralyzed with laughter by the boss that was a singing, anthropomorphic cesspool with corn for teeth. I make no excuses. |
