Titan Quest: Immortal Throne
Great D2-style game. Graphics are nice, story is done well, combat is exciting and the class system is superb. There are no closed servers for online play, which can be frustrating, but the developer is just starting out and couldn't make closed servers a reality. Get a small group of gamers you trust (to avoid cheating, and lay down some ground rules regarding drops) and go hunting for phat loot. I think it's the best game of its kind since D2.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
A lot of people describe this game as "Oblivion with guns." That's not a fair description - this game blows Oblivion to tiny bits without blinking. It has the best atmosphere I've ever experienced in a game, a wide range of weapons and a FRICKIN' AWESOME ballistics model that brings said weapons to life. Playing on a high difficulty level makes the game even better, as it makes every shot count and MAKES YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE TRULY FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE IN ONE OF THE MOST HOSTILE ENVIRONMENTS EVER CONCEIVED IN VIDEO GAME HISTORY.
Both are highly recommended.
