"The less you eat, drink and buy books; the less you go to the theatre, the dance hall, the public house; the less you think, love, theorise, sing, paint, fence, etc., the more you save – the greater becomes your treasure which neither moths nor rust will devour – your capital. The less you are, the less you express your own life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life, the greater is the store of your estranged being." Karl Marx

Just a few there, will add more to the list when I'm not getting talked at continuously.
Wow, I'm amazed at the number of responses so far! Thanks to all those who've suggested games, please keep them coming!
BG2+ToB reall need to be played on "Ascension" difficulty to get the best out of them, that said with the exception of Planescape they are the standout single player RPG by a good distance.
Others I would recomend are as follows:
Elite (Amiga or BBC versions)
Eagles Wing (BBC B - best side scrolling shooter ever)
Far Cry
Half Life (if just for the organic gravity gun - corpse throwing 4tw)
Manic Miner
Fear (in the dark with lots of coffee)
Prince of Persia (Sands of Time)
Serious Sam (co-op with lots of beer)
Spotted someone mentioned Mirrors Edge which is a lot of fun if annoyingly difficult at times.
If Wisdom is the coordination of "knowledge and experience" and its deliberate use to improve well being then how come "Ignorance is bliss"
There was a gravity gun in Half life?Originally Posted by SeriousSam
Jet Set Willy, on the Spectrum
Demon's Winter, (ST or Amiga?...can't remember)
Black and White on PC
IL-2, any of them, but the later the better, not console version.. PC 100%
Guitar Hero 1, for the major hit of being an Axe God on your own
CoD4, "All Gillied Up" sniper lvl on PC
Prince of Persia, Sands of Time on PS2, because it just WORKED.... it was soooo well controlled.
And prolly... Lemmings.

Revenge of the Mutant Camels. Jeff Minter at his finest. Perhaps.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revenge..._Mutant_Camels
Hmmm, a lot of RPGs here seemingly, which is slightly suprising, given the stereotypical FPS gamer image, not that aren't a lot of FPSs too, just more RPGs than I was expecting! Any PC racers that are a 'must play'?
Please keep 'em coming!
