Fantastic video!!
In related news, I just started playing Homeworld again
glee!
also… hard :[ but Homeworld games are pretty
Monkey Island
New Zealand Story
Micro Machines (4 player mode FTW!)
the aforementioned
Turrican 2
and
Flashback ! (and the sequel Fade To Black)
Dungeon Master !!!
and more recently
The Elder Scrolls 3 - “Morrowind” (such a great game! especially with some of the mods!) easily one of the best RPG for computers until now.
Knights of the Old Republic - nice
ah - Zelda - The Ocarina of Time (N64) - great game 
)
Guitar Hero Rocks, any version 
Its an extremly fun game then there is Singstar.
You should get any version of those games and play em. Anyone should have a copy of those…
Other games with less dark atmosphere that is nice, is ofcourse Skate or Tony Hawk, or Rally Games like Collin Dirt.
The up and coming Little Big Planet för PS3 looks like a bit fun…
For PSP you have games like Loko Roko or something like that. And there are lots of fun and not so dark games for Nintendo DS.
Morrowind
Well, yeah - you can do things you’re not supposed to do - but then that’s fine. Gets you into trouble. ;o)
A shortcut to walk through the game in 15 minutes? What for? You miss the depth of the story, the long tedious journeys through the wilderness (hunting these cliff racers and worms) and some nice sunrises. )
It’s probably a matter of personal taste and playing style. I thought Baldur’s Gate to be boring - and I generally don’t like the adaptation of Dungeons&Dragons to computer games. (I’m an old AD&D 2nd Edition gamer, though…) But the D20-System kind of worked for Knights of the Old Republic.
Anyway,
I forgot to mention Jagged Alliance, which I think was a cool game. Alone the quotes! “Tell’em Magic sent ya!” and cool characters!
Anyone remember HASCS? That was an old Ataris ST GEM-Application Game (roleplaying) - Ultima-style. Quite nice, though I never made it far… but somehow - there was something to it.
I get good vibes from the platform and adventure games I played when I was younger, if you want to really get involved in a game, try the Final Fantasy-series. Playing no. 12 on PS2 these days, and it’s really involving! You can develop your characters, learn abilities until you’re green and use them all in various combat situations. And, the storyline and sub-stories are very well done.
For PC I recommend Nifflas’ games, and Chalk available on konjak.org. Innovative and cute. Also, you can’t go wrong with ZSNES, the SNES-emulator and many of the outstanding quality classics out there for that console; Castlevania IV, Super Mario World, Legend Of Zelda to mention a few launch titles that still stand as absolute favourites today.
Check out this streaming presentation where Eric Chahi explain the process behind the classic game “Another World/Out Of This World”

He talks about his inspiration and creative process, the technical side of things and how he got it published.

World of Goo has excellent music and atmosphere, nice dark humour.
Kirby’s Yarn Looks Cool
Jason Rohrers games, Passage, and his new one, Inside a Star Filled Sky looks awesome! Video
Try all of Kenta Cho’s games, especially Tumiki Fighters
fallout, morrowind, oblivion, bioshock, mass effect, starcraft to name some.
Point-and-click adventures: Syberia and Syberia 2 being the genre top-spots. And Destination: Treasure Island, pretty amazing reimagination of Stevenson’s novel
Myst and Riven.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (gamecube)
Checkout some adventure games.
Syberia 1 & 2 perhaps 2 is a bit better still very good games.
Broken sword, shadow of templars. Directors cut, for PC, Ipad, Nds, etc is a really excellent game and its only 4.99 on steam.
Games from Telltale games
Back to the future
Wallace & Groomit
Though one of the coolest games I have played is their “Puzzle agent” but its a bit dark in a funny way.
Its only $4.99
Professor Layton series are very good but perhaps only for Wii NDS? I think I will get 3DS just to play this one
scummvm games (every true adventure) includes the broken sword series and beneath a steel sky.
super meat boy - jump and run action
magicka - freeform magic diablo shooter?!
cave story - 8bit rpg - action- adventure?! like a modern zelda/metroid
