Marathon is the best game of all time. It revolutionized multiplayer FPS, but what do you expect from Bungie? But I could go on forever about Marathon...
My current favorite game is Company of Heroes for PC. Any of you old Starcraft fans should check this game out. Yes it's a WWII Real-Time Strategy game, but it's the first RTS I've played since Starcraft to give me that same rush of excitement while playing, and to keep me on the edge of my seat all day at work just waiting to go home and play. Check it out.
My favorites are the following, but not in any real order.
F1 Challenge 99-02 (with mods)
Oblivion
Flight Simulator X (latest in a long line)
IL-2 series
Morrowind
I have a few shooters too I play from time to time.
Farcry, HL-2, Prey.
I am more into simulators. MW and Oblivion are the only games other than sims that I spend a good bit of time with. But in a way these are simulators, sorta. They do kinda simulate life on another world.
I'm also a big fan of the Kings Quest series. Those were some great games up until the end. Monkey Island and Myst were also good. My current favorite games are Half-Life and Battlefield 2.
All of the Tomb Raider's...
Mafia (Where's #2)
All the Red Alert's & C&C's... (We put Generals on every now and again and play over the LAN with MANY maps, eventually there is much cursing and keyboard throwing, then the game comes off the box again for another while...)
I've never seen a game (Generals) raise tempers so quickly in head to head battles...
The MOST fun in FPS's was Doom, Quake & Unreal We'd drag 486's everywhere to play some MP Doom... 100's of maps, ipxfer (Now theres history) the whole nine yards... Simple but FUN, something todays games lack...
HL2's player interaction with the game and it's looks are just short of AMAZING but the fun that was Doom is just not there.
AnotherWorld is back, 15 years later on the PC... Ahhh the old Amiga Days. Check it out they did a great job on the conversion...
Metal Slug series (PC EMU)
Company of Heroes (PC)
BFMEII and Expansion Pack (PC)

I am not a game enthusiast but my favorite game to play online is chess. I like the feeling of playing against players from different regions of the globe.

Yes, that is quite an experience.
I was the president of an online F1 race club. We ran full seasons 100% simulation, down to Reconnaissance, Formation laps and season weather.
Our players were from all over the world. Latvia, UK, Germany, Australia, Russia, Turkey, Spain, Canada and a couple of us here in the states. We ran the club for 3 years and it was some of the best gaming I have ever done. I really miss it too.
In no particular order...
Oblivion
Painkiller
Painkiller BOOH
Dark Messiah
DFX/with the BFM
Joint Operations IC
Far Cry
Infernal
LOSV
DD2
NFSMW
And of course the game that relaxes me the most..Bookworm Deluxe
Been a total Guild Wars addict since its release, with a short break in middle... Still play, but not as often as I once did. It's just a totally beautiful game to wander around in, and pretty non grind.
Also played Joint Operations for about two years... OMG, I loved that long time Not too much so special about it, but was my first online game and I just absolutly got 100% hooked on it.. playing with other peeps was just an absolute blast.
Just got Armed Assault which looks really promising, but seem to have a problem with it which causes blue screen crashes.

SDI, if you liked Joint ops a lot, as I did, then see if you can find a copy of Delta Force Extreme. I think Amazon.com still has it. Then go to the Bear Force Swarm and get the Bear Force Mod. It is bigger than the game itself. I think you can find the mod at DFBarracks too. There is also a map pack with 250 coop maps in it. You will not believe what these guys did to the original game. The graphics are on par with todays games and Nova World always has a ton of servers up...
