+1 for SiN. I think I liked it better than HL1, though like HL1, the ending was a let down.
Quake 2: I'm probably the only person on TTLG who admits to liking single player Quake 2. Dunno why, but probably the graphics, alien industrial setting, and music.
SimEarth: It was really the only Sim__ game that I got into (albeit briefly, it was too easy to beat).
Project: Space Station. I still hook up my C64 once every year or two just to play this game.
Tron 2.0: Nobody played it, but it got decent reviews, so I'm not sure it counts. But I definitely enjoyed it.

Nocturne. Played like Resident Evil, 1920s style. There was supposed to be a sequel, and though it got scrapped, a sort-of sequel with the dhampyr Svetlana was supposed to be made as an action game. This, I found out, later became Bloodrayne. I was so mad that a sequel never materialized, especially considering the game ended on a huge cliffhanger, with no possible clues as to what happened.
I
loved Nocturne, the zombie mafioso and Lovecraftian lost temple especially. The
Blair Witch games that shared the engine and devs were also ok, but not nearly as great.

It was also remarkably bug-free. I still haven't completed it thanks to system crashes
:weird:

unrelated system crashes, presumably.

I played it. The only thing I didn't like was that you effectively couldn't upgrade everything (believe me, I tried)...on the plus side, that did mean you had to use SOME strategy and pick only the things you liked, which was kind of a good thing. But man, that game is hard on the toughest setting. It's like Vampire Rain in a way...get hit twice at full health and you're done...at least, until you've upgraded the right stuff. But it was a fun game, and level design was very cool.

(you just gotta turn of the built-in speaker, since it causes an aiming glitch).
Lol, wut?
At any rate, I'll add to DX: IW, T3 and Bioshock.
Also, the Bard's Tale remake.

Yeah, unrelated system crashes. Sorry, should have made that more clear.

It's a bug that causes the cursor to randomly jump around whenever the built-in speaker is enabled. It makes the game nearly impossible to play with the speaker on, but it disappears completely when the speaker's off.

the first voxel game who's name I've forgotten, played through it twice just to get all the easter eggs in it the second time through.
Red Faction 2 the fact you could blow stuff up that wasn't related to the game.
xcom game set in a city where again you could blow things to bits

I loved World War III - Black Gold.
It had a delayed release as it was due out just after 9-11 and was all about fighting in Central Asia for oil.
But one of the best RTS games I've ever played
