doom2/3, quake1,2,3,or 4, all the above listed KoToR, diablo 2 (i also recommend diablo 1 but its hard to find outside the battlechest), painkiller, C&C red alert 2, age of empires 2, counter stike (either origional or source). if your PC can handle it crysis is good, im gonna get it behind us and say WoW, and finally the sims is also a classic game.

Deus Ex, Max Payne, Half-life, Doom, Far Cry. No particular order.

These are all great games that realllly innovated PC gaming, and anyone who's played PC games at all in the past 10 years should have played at least 3 of these. Although I'm not sure how many people will agree with Max Payne being on the list, I've always considered it one of the best PC games ever.

Easy (not a game, i'm just stating this is an easy list to make)

Red Alert 2 and/or Command & Conquer

The Sims

Call of Duty 2

Rollar Coaster Tycoon

Sim Tower

These games are what really brought me into gaming. I know they aren't hardcore games or necissary the best, but everyone should have played these.

Fallout 1 - For maximum RPG pleasure

Doom 2 - For the definitive shooter everyone else learned from

EverQuest: up through Velious - For the greatest MMORPG experience yet to be released

Age of Empires 2 - To show that games can be fun, easy to learn and strategic

Roller Coaster Tycoon - Because city building is so much more fun when you can bring it to life.

Civ 4

Deus Ex

Baldur's Gate 2

Half Life

StarCraft

Personally, I think System Shock 2 is an acquired taste. It's game design at its most brilliant, no question about it, but as a game that everyone should play? It'd be hard for me to recommend it universally.

Silent Storm/Sentinels

Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive

Commandos 2 & 3

KOTOR 1 & 2

Company of Heroes

By the way, to the OP, I played Psychonauts because it was free on Gametap. Really didn't expect to like it because it didn't seem like my type of game. However, I really enjoyed it.
