Last time a game truly immersed you?

Definitely Fallout 3. I couldn't get into ME2 for some reason, as good as it is. I might return to it one day.
Mass Effect 1 & 2. Never really been more immersed than with both titles. The second I think taking 24 hours from start til finish, just constantly losing myself in the game, not wanting to leave it alone. The first one I completed over a weekend, which I hadn't done for a long time. Bring on the third!

Never. I am unable to effectively suspend my natural urge to disbelieve stuff.

Can't remember which game it was but it was a PC game from long ago (late 90's). Something to do with a wolf type thing and a princess I think. They're is a bit in it when you steal something from a church and a priest says "Sacrilege"
It's annoying me now, but I cant think of the name.

Just bought Morrowind and installed the overhaul mod, this is the first time in ages where time seems to go by at a ridiculous pace 
.
I'll have about 2 hours on it later tonight...bet it feels like half an hour.

Half life 2 + the episodes awsome game, cant wait for part 3.

When I was at school:
Soul Reaver 1 & 2 -- The cut scenes and combat made these games.
Legacy of kain 2 -- As above, this is needed to fill in the story gaps.
Goldeneye
Half Life 1
Shadowman -- very awesome game, highly under rated imo. Completed it without a guide collecting all 120 souls.
Then nothing for a long time.
Recently (last 3 years):
Resident Evil 4 (Wii)
Condemned
Alice madness Returns

The biggest one I ever did was playing through Max Payne 2, I played through the first and was very hyped up for the second, I bought it and started playing just after tea time and completed it in one sitting, when I checked the time it was something like 6 in the morning
.
lol i did simialr played max payen 2 every day after uni for 3 days to complete it..was addictve.
Also I remember I bought MGS1 on the Friday it was released when I was at school and completed by satruday moring...All in one sitting thats how good it was.
I was in shcool on MOnday and like ''Yo I just played the best video game off my life ever...MGS!!! '' Well it was on par with ff7 at that time.

Where can I find a complete list of 90's PC games. It's bugging me now, I need to know the name of the game I am thinking of.

It was a role playing/adventure games in the late 90's
I dont really remember anything about it other than there may have been some kind of wolves involved and i'm sure you had to rescue a princess. And as I said above, there was a part where you robbed a church and a priest shouted "sacrilege".
The setting was kind of olden day, i.e middle ages.

Mass Effect 2, haven't been able to get into a game as much as that since I played it.
Hmm, going from the most recent backwards it would be:
Portal 2
Borderlands
Mass Effect 2
Mirror's Edge
Mass Effect
Half Life 2 - Episode 2
... That's the lot since 2007.
Multiplayer would be Moviebattles II mod for jedi academy, every now and then - which I've since given up thankfully. Too much of a waste of time.
Borderlands similarly - I'd call it more of an addiction rather than immersion.
The most immersive out of that list would be mass effect (1).
I tried Bioshock last month for quite a few hours, but was really put off by the narrow FOV (plus the Big Daddy's are scary!
), and sort of gave up on it.

I rarely get sucked into a game thoroughly but last time it happened was with Portal 2. Valve just knows their stuff better than anyone else. Before that, probably WoW when I blindly bought it on release day having never played an MMO. I literally didn't play anything else for the next year. In fact, I spent that first weekend only playing WoW and sleeping occasionally. The following Monday I had hard time seeing outside because it was so bright - or rather, I had spent the previous 70 or so hours playing WoW. Obsession like that has never happened before nor after that. Once in a lifetime gaming experience. Too bad WoW sucks these days 
iRacing races are often pretty immersive too but they usually last only about an hour.
