Games you recommend..., What do you think we should be playing? Options

Alright, this is where you recommend games for other people to play.

I'll start by recommending a few of my favourite classics.

If you like strategy games, I recommend the Disciples series. Disciples: Sacred Lands was just awesome, and the sequel was just as good. Apparently it will soon be released on DS. It's a really great turn-based game, which is rare. You need to be able to think well, though. At times it can be very challenging.
Also for strategy, I recommend the real-time strategy games The Battle For Middle Earth I & II, which are great if you're a fan of army command games and of the Lord of the Rings series. You need to be able to think fast, but unlike most games you need to be able to think using military strategy. You need to understand how important factors like terrain and army type and management are and use these to your advantage, while at the same time be able to react fast to a problem and turn it around.

If you like action/adventure RPGs, the latest titles in the Elder Scrolls series are superb - the newest one, Oblivion, is even moddable, allowing you to create your own version completely. Darth made a Let's Play topic for the third installment in the series, Morrowind. Go have a look if you're interested in this kind of game.

If you haven't yet played Okami, you should seriously consider it. The artwork, story and gameplay make for a really excellent game, although it is at times very challenging.

Recommend your favourite games here. Hooray.

Hang on, can someone please move this to the Video Games section? I put it in entertainment by accident. Sorry.

I would recomend Tales of the Abyss too, and if you like the fighting system in KH, then you should play Radiata stories. The only issues of the game is that you can't explore some large land and the battle system is honestly a simplified version of KH's and Star Ocean combine.

I agree that Grandia 2 was amazing. I never played 1, but I have played 3. I felt that the start of 3 was better than the start of 2, but once half of your team leaves you forever, the game goes downhill quite fast.
