In no particular order -

Franchises -

The Elder Scrolls franchise.
Civilization (all of them)

Individual titles -

Fallout 3 + New Vegas

There's a lot of shooters I used to play a lot but I'm pretty tired of the whole genre - though I used to really love the old Rogue Spear titles. Pretty dated these days.

For retro gaming, X-Com: UFO Defense is fun. I have the recent remake, and that's pretty fun as well.
