Shadow Hearts series, if you've got a PS2. It's a JRPG, but unlike Final Fantasy the fight system actually involves some kind of skill; and the series is pretty funny when it comes to storyline and the end bosses are difficult. I loved 'em.
Graphics are a bit dated and the voice acting is hilariousl bad, but overall the first two games are great fun to play.

I know they've been mentioned, but you can't really do much better than some of Bioware's work.
- KOTOR
- Mass Effect (The sequel's coming out in January, so you'll be able to jump right into it once you finish the first one.)
- Dragon Age: Origins (Playing through this one now, brutally hard in places, but an awesome game none the less.)

And obviously what else has been mentioned.

Kingdom Hearts (the series as a whole)
- 1 is story heavy
- Chain of Memories (and Re:CoM) is a great step away from the traditional JRPG genre...though it can get kind of grindy if you're a perfectionist
- 2 is battle heavy and (in my opinion) not as good as the first one
- 358/2 Days is very fun and revisits the CoM concepts in a much the same way FFXII revisited the FFX Sphere Grid. If you didn't like that transition, you probably won't like this one either.
- I haven't played Birth by Sleep, but I've heard it's bad. So I don't recommend it.
Final Fantasy
- My personal favorite is FFV, followed closely by FFXII. It is occasionally a toss-up which one I prefer.
Disgaea
- If you have a PS2, find these games and play them. Now. It's EPIC. There are 2 main entries, a port of the first to the PSP and a PSP exclusive featuring the exploding penguins from the main entries. Play them all.
.hack//infection series
- All I know is that the first one is quite fun. I haven't been able to track down the others yet.
Prince of Persia
- Sands of Time is better than the sequels, but the second and third in that particular saga are fairly good too.
The Elder Scrolls
- Morrowind is infinitely better than Oblivion. Just trust me on this one, you'll enjoy it a lot more, even though the graphics aren't all that good. *wishes he had patch for improved graphics*
Neverwinter Nights
- Fairly good, very D&D-ish though.
Fable
- Play this. I know, it's not the best game ever, but it's amusing enough in it's own way and can keep you occupied after your seventeenth ragequit on Disgaea...before you go back, anyway.

I highly recommend the new BioWare game, Dragon Age: Origins. If you're looking for a tactical game, definitely give it a try. Especially on higher difficulties, it can take a lot of thinking and strategy to make it through the battles. Also, you may be interested in the games DA:O was inspired by: the Baldur's Gate series. They're still available for the PC, and even though they're about 10 years old, you'll find quite an active modding community still around. I consider BG2 to be the best game ever made, so that should say how highly I think of this title.
