Worms. My personal favorite is the original Worms for PSX, probably because that's the first one I played and got really good at. I'm sure if I really got into some of the newer PC sequels with online play I would love them too, but in my book nothing beats the original on PSX. The gameplay is bascially similar to the old PC classic Scorched Earth, but instead of tanks you have worms. Turn-based strategy at its finest.
I discovered it very much by accident. My brother and I just got a Playstation and didn't have many games, so we went to the little video rental store down the street because they just started carrying PS games. They had about 5 or 10 of them total, and Worms was one of them. We weren't expecting much from it, but our choices were limited so we gave it a shot.
Instant classic. The intro, the "FMV" clips, the high-pitched worm one-liners with British accents, the banana bomb... all add up to an amazingly entertaining and quite frankly hilarious game. I've played countless hours of multiplayer Worms with my friends (up to 16 players on one machine, but we usually stuck with 4) and I can't think of a better party game. Easy to learn, difficult to master, and always a blast. Replay value is infinite because the battlefields are randomly generated unless you enter the code for one that you like.
If you've never played a Worms game before, I highly recommend doing so with a few of your best friends.
