1. Counter-Strike - This game just seemed to have the best balance of weapons, players, round length and a solid variety of maps (although de_dust seemed to get the most playtime, aztec was the better of the two).
2. Starcraft - Best RTS online ever. Does anyone remember the smash tv mod?
3. Fallout 2 - I'm surprised that this hasn't been mentioned by anyone yet, a classic.
4. Age of Empires II - A good game to play online with friends. Had some classic battles of the Persians and their War Elephants (me) vs. the British and their damn Longbowmen (a buddy).
5. Master of Orion II - I'm not sure what it is about this game that I love so much, maybe the fact that you have so much control over everything.
HM: Simcity (the series), Warcraft III, Battlefield 2, Civilization 2, Alpha Centauri.
