The best games are the ones that shape your life a bit
There was a Summer around 2007 when I spent a whole week with my two older cousins staying at my grandma's just having fun non-stop. Playing football, going to an Aqua Park and playing video games.

There was a Summer around 2007 when I spent a whole week with my two older cousins staying at my grandma's just having fun non-stop. Playing football, going to an Aqua Park and playing video games. NHL '07 was the game we spent most of our time with, it was the perfect competitive game for 1v1 matches.
We had 1 controller, 1 joystick (for flying games) and a keyboard, so we switched those around to see who is the best with each of them. It was a ton of fun and made me buy a joystick later only for this game when I got my own copy. I played so much that the Joystick couldn't stay up in a straight up position after that (that sounded better in my mind probably...).
Even thought ice hockey is not the most popular sport in my country and I can't name more than 2 players (Wayne Gretzky and Alexander Ovechkin), I became a huge fan of the game and completed the campaign, the world tour and even enjoyed the management side of the game.
It motivated me to watch a few matches on TV and a few years later I played Floorball (basically hockey without ice) for years in High School at a hobby level. I impacted my life in unexpected ways and for that, this game will always be close to my heart.
P.S.: The soundtrack is just amazing!!!
