I agree with almost everything, but LOTRO ehe I dunno. The days of true PC gaming is over, its mostly ports from either console or made to be ported to the console.

You should remove UT3 from your list, its not that good of a game.

I am adding a 6th!
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R. SoC
I know my list is more like only the last 3 years... mostly less than that.
Going back 8 years it kind of a lot though... so much recent stuff is on my mind, hard to think that far back

Close combat 5
Civ 4
Counter-strike Source
Tf2
Rome Total War
The close combat series is awesome. There isn't any unit production or resource gathering grind, the focus is house to house and hedgerow to hedrow small unit combat. You have to take into account the soldier's morale/ammo state and leadership. But it is all obvious stuff, like a soldier will cower if under mortar fire, or if being suppressed by machine fire.
I bought the first of the series with my first computer, back in 1996. And CC5 isn't that much different from CC1, mostly graphics/interface changes.
Part of what makes it so long lasting is the massive modding community behind the game.
Oh, and here is a link to the main forum and mod site for the series, in case anyone was interested.

1. Deus Ex, This game stole so much of my young teenage life...you get so engrossed in the storyline and gameplay was superb with the mix of RPG elements and Sci FI action made it IMO one of the best games ever!
2. Quake 3 Arena - This game was and some consider still is the daddy of all FPS deathmatch..Nuff said
3. Orange Box - Can you even get a better deal in terms of a games bundle considering the price, you get an abundant supply of gameplay hours...contains the best of HL series!
4. This was a close between CC Tiberian Sun and Age Of Mythology, but i had to go with the former..Tiberian Sun..had awsome music...cool looking graphics the corny cinematics were a treat and had to love James Earl Jones. The single player was brilliant too.
5. Not forgetting Bio ware, I prefered NWN 1 over BG2 probs cos it was faster paced....but still the nwn game had great graphics for the time, had endless hours of fun and story was rock solid as well as the gameplay.
Q.N
COD 4 - Superb vidual fidelity, the game is able to run maxed out on many systems providing some v nice eye candy. plus mulitplayer is so exhilarating.
Must have

ive picked these as they were the games i installed, tried, then never put down til i'd finished them! wouldnt have a problem revisiting them either!!
oblivion - epic
fear - raw shootem up
world in conflict - engrossing
alien trilogy(ps1 i think) - probably the only reallly scary game ive played

i'm not sure u wanted other consoles so i left out GT4 and others but thought alien was worth the mention. if not GRAW or CnC or stalker.....!

1. Mount & Blade -- no one knows it, but it has been a great game since it's .703 beta unique battle system, large scale battles, all weapons from the mid ages you can think of, riding horses, great skill system, best gameplay ever and fastly improving (currently in it's last beta).. loads of features that never appeared in any other game before. Only thing it lacks currently is high end graphics, but you won't notice that after a max of a few minutes gameplay anyways..
2. Company of Heroes --simply the most in depth RTS I've ever played
3. GTA San Andreas -- Great story, and great possibilities
4. Falcon 4.0 AF --simply the best combat flight simulator ever
5. Gothic Series -- hard to get into the gameplay, but extremely great story, world and if you know how to handle it the gameplay is great..

In no particular order:
1.UT2004
2.UT2003
3.Guild Wars
4.Guild Wars Factions
5.Guild Wars Night Fall
I was so looking forward to UT3, but with the early release, the Game Discs reading RC 7 & ZERO anti cheat that game will never see my hard drive.

Battlefield 2 was fantastic in its day.
CSS and UT3 were great, but are now ruined by poor netcode and lack of sufficient anti-cheat measures.
