Put my vote up as another tally mark for the Deus Ex crowd.
Fabulous game. I played the sequel on Xbox. Very pretty, but harder to get into. The original was darker, more unpredictable, and you never knew who to trust. The sequel had major "friend or foe" twists but nowhere nearly as gritty as the first game.
Far Cry is great as well. It scales nicely to newer hardware, too. It looks good for a game as long in the tooth as it is.

Doom series - 1, 2 and 3 - they set the pace for a lot of years
Star Wars - Jedi Outcast and Academy - love chopping up bad guys with the light sabre and all the acrobatics you can do.
#1: HL2, that is the main reason I bought XP Pro for my MBP. mmmmmmmmm, Gravity Gun.

Should be fun! I got HL1 deathmatch for free with Ep1. Which is awfully nice.
Quake and UT.
GoW and Metroid are awesome but those are on consoles...
It's a great time for gaming!!!

Ain't that the truth! Love that game. SoFII was a religion for my college dorm. LAN games of 16v16 never get old, especially when you can run out in the hall after the round and get in your next door neighbors grill about how bad his aim is.
CS1.6
Up to that point, most shooters had made me incredibly sick to my stomach, e.g. Doom/Quake II/etc. However, there was something about CS1.6 that didn't make me sick like the other games--and b/c of CS1.6, I was finally able to get into my first FPS.
CS1.6 and Source remain the only FPSs that don't get me sick. HL2 makes me insanely dizzy, that even to this day I cannot finish the game. I can play hours of CS:S, but anything more than 10-15mins and I'm not feeling well in HL2.
