A few more...
Did you play the later versions of Steel Panthers (freeware)? Recommended if you're into hard core, detailed strategy. The later versions have a few bugs fixed.
Sudden Strike series for an easy afternoon of simple, fun strategy and action, with beautiful graphics as well.
Other genres? Flight/Space sims:
TIE fighter, of course, as well as
X-wing Alliance. Great sims with storylines.
F-22 Total Air War for some heavy duty fighter sim. Runs on 'older' machines. Only drag is the AI and certain bugs (later fixed). The mission generator makes sure no two missions are exactly the same.
FPS (first person stealth): Thief 2, (I never played the first), Hitman Codename 47 (more fun to play as stealth than shooter)
RPG: Daggerfall is a classic, if you can live with some really wacky bugs (like having your horse fly about like a bleeping Rudolph). Exploit the bugs, and you could have a few laughs as well as a HUGE and imo, a great game. The thing about DF is that the number of skills allows you to be ANYONE! Now, not many RPGs out-do DF in that respect. A few bugs are destructive and kill your savegames, so keep your savegames backed up at a regular rate.
