I've been playing some Mechwarrior Online (closed beta) and it's really made me remember how much I enjoyed the Mechwarrior series. I also heard of the Baldur's Gate remake and that put me right into a mental orgy of rememberance. So, if I could expand upon my list it would be as follows:

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn
Half Life 2
Mass Effect (haven't played 2)
Fallout 3
Titan's Quest (Diablo clone I like better than Diablo)
Fable
Torchlight (Another good Diablo clone, my brother says the new one is exceptional!)
Mechwarrior (series, I think my favorite was MW3)
Jupiter: The Nexus Incident (I'm a total sucker for space RTS, good graphics, fleet customization, and true Newtonian physics)
Myst (who hasn't played that game?)
Civilization (series, preferably II, preceded by Colonization way back when)
Commander Keen (series, favorite was 5 and 6)
Kings Quest (series, I don't recall my favorite)
Raptor: Call of the Shadows (best arcade-style scroller ever, possibly excepting the very similar Raiden)
Klingon Academy (oh the destruction!)
Star Trek: Starfleet Command (series)
Star Trek: 25th Anniversary (yes, I was a Star Trek geek)
Star Wars: Galaxies (I quit not long after the combat upgrade patch)
Star Wars: Jedi Knight (series)
KOTOR (duh)
X-Wing: Alliance (I missed out on Tie Fighter but loved this sequel)

Honestly, I almost want to just expand this list out to most of the games I ever played for more than 10 minutes, but the reality is that it would probably end up being a list of almost every Star Wars and Star Trek game ever made between 1995 and 2005. My brother and I are/were huge sci-fi nerds. It's a shame the quality of sci-fi games has been so poor in the last few years. Or maybe it's just that I don't play all the games I used to, and I'm missing some really good stuff. Regardless, wake me up when someone makes Freespace 3 or Homeworld 3!
