I would really, really love to be able to play Half-Life again for the first time.
I feel the same way about the first Bioshock, and about the early years of World of Warcraft. Those two are from a bit later obviously, but the three of them really raised the bar for me personally in what was possible in a game.
With HL, it was how immersive the world was, and how very strange and complex the story turned out to be.
With Bioshock, it was the story above all, and how for the first time I was taken in by an "unreliable narrator" in a video game. The reveal around "would you kindly" was really shocking to me, like a good book can be.
With WoW, it was everything, but entering Ironforge for the first time was just a stunning moment for me in particular.
