I can't say I have a favorite, more like a top ten list equal to each other. Doom 3 is a top favorite for PC Gaming, Resident Evil 4 not the remake, tom clancy rainbow six rogue spear, splinter cell chaos theory, tom clancy's splinter cell conviction (sure, this one gets some hate but there were a lot of good praises.. so the reviews got mixed ratings. There are more top games I love but the list is too long.
 
If we talk about all time, it probably has to be Minecraft. I haven't played it that much lately, but it's something that you can probably always return to.
If we talk about nostalgica, it's probably LEGO Island Xtreme Stunts. I just love the early 2000's music vibin' to driving around the open world island with the skateboard. But the game has severe technical issues. Another nostalgic game is Asterix & Obelix XXL2 but that one's far more linear.
If we talk about modern games, the ones where I sinked the most time into in the past years were Anno 1800 and Snowrunner. Anno 1800 has so many complex good systems and so much content compared to previous anno games. It is also set in a special time where I feel not that many games are set (industrialization, early electricity and trains etc). But it's also a bit fictionized with airships playing an important role.
For snowrunner, it's an offroad truck driving simulator. You're basically driving around... mud... that has been a road long time ago, delivering goods to rebuild the areas. At every moment, you have to be cautious not to roll over, not to damage the truck and you need to keep an eye on the fuel needle because there are not many gas stations left.
With all of the DLC now available, I imagine that you have to play 500-1000 hours to finish everything. It's also a great multiplayer experience.
 
Thought I would pop back in and list a few more of my favorite PC games;
Cold Fear PC, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines, Legacy Of Kain Soul Reaver PC, Doom 3, Painkiller (the original), Max Payne series, Bioshock games, The Elder Scrolls games, Spec Ops The Line, System Shock 2, IceWind Dale 2, Whisper Mountain OutBreak, Sleeping Dogs, Subnautica, Alan Wake, Resident Evil 4 (original not the remake it didn't need to be remade), Resident Evil Requiem. There are others out there but just decided to make a quick list in case of anyone wanting to try some of these.

I'll make my list slightly more interesting by only listing one game from a given franchise:
  • Doom (1993) (my all-time favorite game period)
  • Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings (1999)
  • Quake (1996)
  • The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (2002)
  • Return to Castle Wolfenstein (2001)
  • Empire Earth (2001)
  • Leisure Suit Larry 6: Shape Up or Slip Out! (1993)
  • Duke Nukem 3D (1996)
  • Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (1991)
  • Half-Life (1998)
  • Sid Meier's Civilization II (1996)
I could have easily listed about 40-50 more games, but those are definite mainstays of my gaming life.

Solid list, Doom and Half-Life were both huge for me growing up, and seeing Morrowind there brings back memories of losing entire weekends to it. I still remember the first time I played Monkey Island 2 and couldn't stop laughing at the insult sword fighting.
 
RTS classics like Command & Conquer, Total Annihilation, anything with the words "Might & Magic" in the title, and Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri. All 4X games hold a special place in my heart, but SMAC is among the best, and my absolute favorite.

Plus the obvious classics like Doom, Wolfenstein, Commander Keen, Lemmings, et. al.
 
Gotta have several but a list of what comes to mind on a short notice:

1. Wing Commander - "The Game", this one made PC gaming serious contender over Amiga. Also, pretty mindblowing in that date.
2. Ultima VII (Parts I and II) - Dynamic environs instead of sprites shaded in situ, good storyline. Even today, still one of the best CRPG's ever made.
3. Ultima Underworld - How far ahead of iD (and other non-cerebral shmups) Origin/looking Glass was at this time, not stuck in 2,5D and bolting real RPG mechanics and story on 3D environs, instead of shoot everything that moves and then some.
4. System Shock - Another mind blowing experience back at release, maybe Origin/Looking Glass collab at it's finest.
5. Morrowind - Still maybe the best game set in Tamriel. Also, still an "real" RPG where stats, not controller skill mattered.

Several later games could have honourable mentions, as could earlier Amy/C64 titles, but not going into that rabbit hole ;)
