As luck would have it, I was talking to a friend about our favourite games earlier. So have some miscellaneous favourites, in no particular order.
Dungeon Keeper (both the first and the second ones for different reasons, I feel that the first is a better game overall but 2 still does interesting things)
Deus Ex (both the original and Human Revolution)
XCOM (All of the strategy games in the franchise, gloriously difficult turn based strategy that really punishes you for failure yet is so very satisfying when you start doing well)
Sonic 3 & Knuckles (Platforming perfection imo, still holds up today and I always have fun with it)
Rocket Knight Adventures (Only the original, this is a blast and I find it endlessly fun)
Gunstar Heroes (An over the top festival of colors, explosions and bosses that constantly ooze creativity? Yes please)
Team Fortress 2 (By far my favourite multiplayer game which I've been playing fairly regularly since 2008)
Noitu Love 2 Devolution (See Gunstar Heroes, I have a weakness for this type of game)
The Wonderful 101 (I know this game can be quite polarizing, people seem to either love it or hate it, but I adore the crazy high skill ceiling and using the unusual game mechanics to chain together giant combos in the name of high scores. Also generally being super fun to play through initially)
F-Zero GX (Nintendo will never make another game about beating Satan then God in a race.)
