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.

First on my list would be The Legend of Zelda series. The only series that repeats over and over, yet never gets hackneyed. Which one? All of theeeem. :B Well, actually, these are the ones I would suggest:

Ocarina of Time (for Nintendo 64 or Nintendo Gamecube) Rated E: This was the first 3-D Zelda game, so the graphics aren't great, but if you ask me, the gameplay is pretty sweet. Not only do you get to go through 3 dungeons as boy Link, but you get to go through around 6 main dungeons as adult Link. Don't quote me on specifics, but in general it's great for people who like action-packed role-playing games and complex storylines.

The Wind Waker (Nintendo Gamecube)Rated E: This game is pretty much an island adventure. You get to travel the seas, kill monsters, and conduct a magical wind orchestra. What's not to love?

Twillight Princess (Nintendo Gamecube and Nintendo Wii)Rated T: This one has very good graphics, and a pretty good story. It's basically a collaboration of different Zelda games, so if you like all of the others, you'll probably like this one. Also, it's like virtual reality if you have the Wii. I never understood why it was rated T, though.

Phantom Hourglass (Nintendo DS)Rated E: I loved the interactiveness of PH. You get to touch things with the little stylus, and for me that's great. It was a nostalgic Zelda game, yet slightly fresh and new.
