Rise of the Argonauts is a 3rd person action RPG brought to you by Liquid Entertainment (who also made the nice warcraft clone, Battle Realms, in 2001) in the last month of 2008. Throughout the game you will meet other characters who will join you as argonauts. They will stay with you on your ship. When you leave the ship, you can pick who you want to accompany you. This is similar to games like KOTOR and Mass Effect. This game received above average review scores. Some people have complained that the game has way too many dialog and not enough action. I think that's not fair.
TimeShift is a FPS created by Saber Interactive released in 2007. This game is noteable for allowing the player to manipulate time. It also received mostly above average review scores.
Empire Earth III is the third in the series of Empire Earth RTS games developed by Mad Doc Software (now Rockstar New England) and published by Sierra Entertainment. It is by far the least liked in the series by fans with (devastatingly) low review scores across the board.

SW is a snowboard game with multiple challenges to choose from in open environments, not unlike the late Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series' most recent titles. The Scimitar engine (Assassin's Creed, Prince of Persia 2008) supposedly allows the gameplay to rely solely on physics whereas most "board" games are animation-based. A more obvious feature though is that you can control your avatar through some half-pipe fun during loading times, something AC's Altayr probably misses terribly.

The game has an ancient Persian setting, although the exact century is not revealed. In the game, the player assumes the role of the Prince, whose name is not revealed in the game. The Prince is accompanied by a girl named Elika, whom he met after a large sandstorm diverted him from his course and he ended up in a mysterious land. Players traverse many different environments using the Prince's acrobatic abilities to scale walls and even crawl on the ceilings. Throughout the journey, players combat various different enemies as they attempt to cleanse the land of corruption.

The fourth installment of the popular series by Rockstar features improved graphics, new features, and new gameplay. Players take on the role of Niko Bellic, a rough-around-the-edge chap from Eastern Europe. Niko has arrived in America, in Liberty City -- a land full of promise and opportunity. His cousin convinced him to emigrate, to join him in his mansion and life of luxury, but as soon as he steps off the boat, Niko discovers the truth about the American way. Still, the wealth, the comfort, the bliss of the good life, it all really is here ... And it's all for the taking.
The third Tomb Raider game since Crystal Dynamics took over the series, Tomb Raider: Underword continues from the story line started in Tomb Raider: Legend where it was revealed that Lara's mother may not be dead, but rather trapped in the mythical realm of Avalon (from the King Arthur legend). For the uninitiated, the Tomb Raider series is about lady adventurer Lara Croft, who is intelligent, athletic, infatuated with ancient history, and distractingly busty!

Titan Quest is an action RPG by THQ, in the vein of Diablo II. The game is in the historical fantasy genre. Titan Quest is a 3D 'hack and slash' (acton RPG) featuring monsters inspired by ancient mythologies. It has gorgeous graphics, day/night cycle, ragdoll animations, WYSIWYG loot system - and of course, heaps of equipment to collect.
Immortal Throne adds in a whole new chapter (all-new places, quests, monsters and loot), a new mastery with its unique skills, and an array of other new gameplay elements.

WOW is the blockbuster MMO from from Blizzard, set in their Warcraft universe. I did this DR the same week Wrath of the Lich King came out, so this could be considered the WotLK client.
This DR is out of date for the current state of the game (June 2014). Please see the entry for Pandaria.
