World in conflict, which was and in my opinion still the freshest, newest look at RTS for a long time. Stalker(1) as I'd seen the crazy graphics in a demo on some other game and it chugged out my old computer till it hemmeraged and crashed. Why I thought that made a good selling point after an extensive upgrade I'll never know. I liked it though, bugs and all.
Most recently Endwar, cause I saw it in the shop when I was getting HAWX... it was just a Tom Clancy kinda day. While the graphics are nice, controls ok, the camera was on Rohypnol/ketamene cocktail, and the gameplay was all too basic to hold much challenge. I played it about 10 hours and never really went back to it since.

I was at the Reject Shop and saw they were selling some old DOS/95 games for 50 cents. Being a retrogamer, I jumped onto them (even though the screenshots and blurbs were terrible).
Hi-Octane and Darklight Conflict are my two new DOS favourites. (Next to Doom, that will always be on top)

Mine was left 4 dead. It was really weird because my friend is always telling me to buy a ton of games that he plays for a day and then stops, so naturaly i always argue with him and say i dont wanna buy it buy he suggested l4d i looked at a few screenshots then i bought it on steam 2 minutes later. Awesome game.
that game was the shit. I had it as a free addon to a game back then (don't have it anymore). it was better than the main gameMcface said:
Dynasty Warriors 2 and Timesplitters.
I'd just bought my PS2 and fancied blowing my spare cash on some games, they both seemed pretty good from the box art, and I wasn't disapointed.
I still love those games, especially Dynasty Warriors... even more than 10 games later.

Bioshock. I picked it out for Xmas just because i heard it was a great game. i actually was worried that it was kind of a kiddie game from the box art. then i played it for 2 minutes, haha.
Psychonauts [http://www.psychonauts.com/]. What a fabulous surprise that was.
Meandering in an electronics mall in the city I live I stumbled on one shop's bargain card box (no joke, not even a bin). And there is was. The cover was just too great to pass and the price was almost "for free". I got it and placed it on my waiting to be played enormous list.
I knew of games like Grim Fandango and other similar masterpieces, but I did not remember the name Tim Schafer.
Then a few days later I discovered this web site and the Zero Punctuation feature, were the game was lauded.
And I agreed with all there said.
