World Of Warcraft
Rainbow Six (any)
Football Manager 2007

All three of those are pretty addictive.

Call of Duty. Enough said, end of story. Speaking of which, I should get bootcamp so I can pwn on CoD again.

You have pretty good 'big name' games, but there are things like Battlefield 1942, Doom 3 and Quake 4, Civ IV, but I like a lot of the smaller ones, such as Wingnuts 2, All the things by Ambrosia especially Darwinia. I'm sure others can suggest things.

i personally am going through a freeware resurgence.

N is the most addictive game i've played in a while, far more fun and frustrating tha Halo or UT2004 or Doom3. a true 21st century 2d platformer with style.

freeware studios don't have to worry about whether or not the game has to be a success. from this freedom are borne good ideas once again. not just another FPS, another slick racing game, or another Madden title. even Half-Life 2 was a safe option. it didn't push the boundaries like it's predecessor did... long live the freeware!

if you want graphics though, Doom3's still ace in that department.

Whilst we're on freeware/ non-graphically intensive games, anybody know if there's a decent copy of minesweeper for macs knocking about? The only one I've found is a right dodgy dashboard version and last time I updated it, it changed itself to an 8x8 grid which I now can't figure out how to make larger!
