Texas hold'em is fun. I'm a big Diplomacy addict (back stabbing and double dealing all the way!). Monopoly of course. Careers, Life, Peurto Rico and your occasional round of pictionary or what have you.
What I really love though are strategy games. Chess, risk, stratego, Axis and Allies, Go, Shogi, I know how to play them all and I love them. The only problem is that I have real trouble finding people who are willing to play me.
Apart from tabeltop gaming though, I play a game sort of like Jawless's Manhunt except we don't bother to switch into different clothes and those who are hiding can incapacitate those who are seeking by taking a peice of tape off their back. Oh and a seeker can incapacitate a hider basically just by finding him.

Setelers of Catan, Munchkin Bites, Munchkin, Ninja Burger and D&D Special hoem made futuristic version.
For card games, I like poker and BS.
Risk I played once and never liked. Course, that may be because I was about six and I was playing with my eighteen year old brother.
Chess was alright; I was the only one in my second grade class who knew how to play, though playing checkmates does tend to get annoying. I usually play Kill The King.

I enjoy many RPG's, card games and board games. Trivial Pursuit, and other "party" board games especially - it's amazing how a game can excite and amuse a room full of people.
"Word Dissociation" - a circle of players, each says a word in turn. The only catch is that the next word must have no possible connection to the previous word, and it's played best with a short time limit. Say, 5 seconds. That was our high school drinking game of choice.
Pente, and Abalone are personal favourites.
I rarely finish a game of Scrabble (offline), but I've played WildWords once at a friends house, and really enjoyed it. http://www.wildwords.us/ If you're looking for something new, it's not a well known game - and nope, I'm not in any way associated with the game maker.

Risk, Chess, Magic: The Gathering, and Settlers of the Catan. The latter two usually at the comic shop in my town where I spend my Friday evenings eating BLTs at the local grill and smack-talking with twenty to thirty-year-old manchildren. There's even a sixty-something-year-old dude who goes there and he is absolutely hysterical.
Although, I'm not as serious about playing Magic anymore. I mostly use the decks my friends made. Infinite Green-White combo ftw! b(o_o)d

Manhunt brings back memories.
I used to play with a group of my friends and invariably it would get to one person who was the fucking master of not getting caught. We would play in a set boundary of woods, the person got one or two minutes to get in the woods and hide, then it's a free for all to find them, and whomever did was the next to hide. We had something like twenty guys looking for this guy and we just couldn't do it. We had to give up after about two hours of looking. We stepped on to the road next to the woods he has hiding in and called his name telling him he had won. About a minute later, he steps out of the woods and laughs at us.
This is the same guy who could play capture the flag in the woods and have his entire team stay and guard the flag while he went after the other team's flag. His team would win every time. He was so good at stealth in the woods it was un-fucking-believable.

Warrior Knights
War of the Ring

I still need to try my hand at Grimm, but I'd wager it'll be a favourite

Risk and monopoly have given hundreds of hours of enjoyment. Any card game that has teams, like Kaiser (sp?) and I always enjoy a good game of trivial pursuit or scene it since i watch an absurd amount of movies.
