When you say "Life," do you mean the board game with the wheel and the vans you have to drive around, or do you mean the concept of life (do I even have to explain what I mean there)?

Those darn rhythm games by Konami (IIDX, Pop'n Music, Jubeat, those.)
Seriously, they taught me how to focus, and helped me grow into being a better person, and to know how to take loses and to never give up.

Halo 2.
I'll be that guy.
What happened was that I finally got into a social circle with a group of friends who were into the X-Box Live scene back in the middle school days. This led me into getting into other groups of friends throughout high school and later into college and it really just opened up my social life. It was pretty cool.

Pokemon and Banjo-Kazooie. I got them both at the same time, and for the first time ever I felt a deep connection with the worlds I was in.
In Pokemon it was about the mystery of all these creatures, discovering them one by one and learning of their unique powers while developing almost a connection with the critters. This connection made me feel more dedicated to a game's universe than ever before. I had never played an RPG until that point (I was too young and never interested in the RPGs of the SNES era) so it opened a whole new genre to me.
Banjo-Kazooie was the first game that felt like I had entered a real 3D fantasy world! (Sorry SM64, but your blocky environments never gave me the same sensation B-K did.) With all these unique environments and freedom to explore, I felt like I was really on an adventure and not just playing a game.
These two games turned me from a kid who thought video games were a fun toy, to the avid nerd with a passionate love for their art.

Sonic 2.
Opened the door to the world of videogames.
