Best game to get that feeling is Baldurs Gate 2 solo Sorcerer :D

Early mod of it.

If that isn`t standalone one, check the site, there is one.
Also Desura maybe had it too.

I was talking about the official/whole thing.

Best sensation playing a video game?? That's easy...getting a bl...better stop there.

Beating my first dragon in Baldur's Gate 2, and becoming much stronger (a true dragon killer) in the process. I recall my paladin obtained a kickass sword from that fight that he probably used for the rest of the game. I got lucky with that fight though, the dragon teleported to a small room with me and couldn't move there, and I was able to kill it from a distance. But who cares, a win is a win!

Finding out that some seemingly meh game has kickass music. This occurred to me when seeing the Shovel Knight trailer. Puzzle platformers or whatever it is aren't really my main interest, but I'll probably buy the game at some point anyway for the music.

A bit similar was how in Wing Commander Prophecy I found the flight (mission) music quite boring, but when I played the standalone expansion pack (Secret Ops), it had great pumping music during missions (it is the same music as in the simulator missions in Prophecy).

...anket to wrap around yourself on those cold winter nights of gaming. Nothing better than a nice cozy blanket and a mug of hot cocoa.

Best sensation for me was getting an adrenaline rush whilst playing Serious Sam. It's the only way to keep going when you have to take on an insane amount of enemies all at once.
