Starcraft was mentioned a couple of times actually. I agree about the comments on Oblivion, the vanilla version was absolutely awful.

Most of the best video games PC-wise are all older ones. There hasn't been many great games over the past few years.

I've played most of recent games over the years but there aren't many that I can say I really enjoyed, let alone are part of the best video games ever. Companies are getting very sloppy and creating unfinished, buggy games (Gothic 3, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. + Expansion), or are completely re-hashing and ruining old classics (Command and Conquer, C&C Red Alert). Nothing really original nowadays.

My List:

Older - 90's

X-Com: UFO Defense
Command and Conquer 1: Tiberian Dawn
C&C: Red Alert 1
Master of Magic (One of the most under-rated 4X Strategy games)
Master of Orion 1 & 2
Baldur's Gate 1 & 2
Star Control 2
Fallout 1 & 2
The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall (Probably the best RPG ever)
Privateer
Total Annihilation (Check this out)
One Must Fall: 2097
Half-Life
Diablo 1 & 2, mostly 1
Starcraft
Warcraft 2
Doom
Heretic
Hexen
Everquest

Newer - Year 2000 and up

Neverwinter Nights (I'll just say, most of Bioware's new stuff has still been quite good)
Half-Life 2
Supreme Commander (The spiritual successor of Total Annihilation)
The Witcher
Team Fortress 2
Battlefield Series
Crysis

I may be able to think of a few more, but the fact that I have to spend a lot of time thinking about it says a lot.
 
Of all time would have to be Doom II. Changed me into a pc gamer when I first played it :) . Also always enjoy games in the silent hill series.
 
Baldurs Gate 1 + 2
Civilization (don't like 4 but the others own)
Theme Hospital
Half Life
Fallout series
System Shock 2
Grim Fandango
Monkey Island series (gifv MI 5)
Gangsters
Thief
Operation Flashpoint
Caesar 2
Diablo series
Total War series
Severance: Blade of Darkness (no one seems to have played, or even heard of this, but I loved it)
Descent 2
Dark Forces (owns Doom)
Tie Fighter

Maybe the best post so far for mentioning Half-life, Fallout, System Shock 2, Grim Fandango, Thief and Diablo.
Lately I've been playing HL², Portal, Team Fortress 2, BioShock(which is nearly as good as SS2) and soon I plan on trying The Witcher.

I like your taste. All of these games have kept me occupied for hours on end. I remember getting The Sims for Christmas in the fifth grade and playing it from the time I woke up, until I went to sleep for almost a month. :p I'm glad I only ever went through something like that once.

I would like to add in some others I've been addicted to in the past:

Gears of War (360)
Tekken 4 (PS2)
Tekken Tag (PS2)
Need for Speed: Underground (PS2)
Mario World (N64)

And my all-time fave would have to be the Tony Hawk series. I don't play them too often anymore, but I used to get those games as soon as they came out and play them all the time with my friends and brother. I'd say I've spent more time on those than any other game.
