Doom 3. Played it for hours yesterday. It's really nothing new but it's quite immersive and has excellent atmosphere. I'm sure now they held it back because they were waiting for the next gen video cards because it needs serious power. I'm using a 9800 Pro and Atlhon XP 2000+ and it runs decent in 1024x768 with Medium Texture Detail until you get a few guys atacking you. I'll be upgrading my RAM and processor in a while so that should help a little.
Lot's of people say it looks plasticy but once you actually play it, it doesn't and it looks a lot better. Makes a lot of other modern games look bad. It will be interesting to see what other games make it onto this engine. Alien VS Predator or something like that would be quite cool yet not a whole lot different. Quake 4 will probably be quite similar just more gothic. I'm thinking Half-life 2 will be a better game but I'll have to wait and see.

Playing Doom3 too - running it at 1024x768 medium detail (all other options except AA on) runs suprisingly well! Doesn't annoy me with it's slowness anyways, so I'll keep it at that.
I changed a few things in Radlinker too, mip map detail, texture detail, z compression and a few other things like that. Looks good to me, and runs better than I had any right to expect

Yeah I agree the slowdown isn't annoying. I was playing it on the TV last night with Surround Sound and turned down to 800x600 res because it doesn't make much difference on the tv. Looked good on the TV too the darkness of the game made it look not as washed out as most games do on the TV.
Just finished ICO (btw, best game ever), now working on Rygar: The Legendary Adventure.

Unreal Tournament - Friend said I should check out the original, pretty good. I like certain thing about it opposed to the sequels. The only populated online servers I find seem to be self proclaimed camping/sniper servers with mods that wipe the floor with me.
Contra III:Alien Wars - Play this from time to time on my SNES, still just as good as it was years ago. Love my 2D and sprite animations.
