I've had plenty of such fun in FF and Ultima games.  A few of my favorites:

I discovered Achron today and downloaded the demo. My brain is now trying to understand (with limited success) to understand time travel logic. I'm still at the point where the orders I gave two minutes ago countermand the orders I give now (when "now" is "two minutes ago").

That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.

Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion will allegedly feature hand-drawn sprites and some awesome 2D platforming elements, which is appropriate, as it turns out that the game is a follow-up the SEGA Genesis classic, Castle of Illusion.

As the latest issue of Nintendo Power (via About.com) reports, those longing for a sequel to cult-favorite Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse will finally be getting their wish, only on Nintendo’s 3DS. Along with the traditional platforming elements that made the original game so much fun in 1991, Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion will feature hand-drawn sprites in an effort to recreate that classic Genesis vibe. Players will find time to admire this classic look while traversing with Mickey through all kinds worlds based on Disney’s animated films, including everything from the likes of the well-known Sleeping Beauty to the more recent Tangled.

- New Epic Mickey game

- 2D side-scrolling platformer

- Hand drawn sprites

- Famous Disney characters an locations

- Sequel to Castle of Illusion for Sega Genesis

Castle of Illusion was awesome.  I had the game for my Genesis.

I'm enjoying the hell out of Thief. The zombies disturb me more than they should, for some reason, but I'm in love with these heart attack moments. Crouched in a corner whispering, "Don'tseeme don'tseeme don'tseeme" as you hear a guard's footsteps draw near is just what I was looking for.

Picked up the new tropic 4 expansion, it's pretty cool.

Adds in a new tab of edicts ranging from banning twitter(including the in game functionality) to creating a festival of love. Also Chinese development assistance, which is a horrible, horrible joke.

The new time line feature is pretty cool, randomized events with significant impact on your options along with 30ish buildings unlocking over the years. And private health care!

Haven't tried the new campaign, but never finished the old one either.

Finally getting the hang of my first ever Paladin in DDO.  My only melee characters before then have all been Monks, and Paladins have a bit steeper learning curve.  But, its actually getting kinda fun...

[ETA]

Also, as some of you may already know, I've been designing a game of my own for some time now.  I've been hammering out the basic workings of the game rules themselves, but I've had a few other ideas that I figured I'd share behind spoiler tags.

[ETA]

Well, my Paladin hit level 6 today, and I -finally- got him a decent set of armor!  Soooo...screenshots!

Playing Far Cry. Damned good game, and the storyline is a little similar to Crysis (understandable): you vs human enemies vs other non-human enemies.

Tropico looks like a fun game.  Maybe sometime in the future, I'll check it out.

Tropico is pretty fun. Haven't played 4 yet, though, since it's quite pricey.

I bought 3 first and played it for quite a while, but after getting four I can honestly say it's worth the price. Most of the DLC is kinda questionable, but I have rather enjoyed placing soldier statues throughout my little hell hole. It's kinda funny that the most expensive one is the one honestly worth the money.

I preordered Tropico 4 and got the first game and second game free with it.
