I don't remember much killer games after 1998, really, they exchanged invention and story with "easy to use" and "graphics".
Guitar hero or Mafia seem to be interesting although I never played any of them.
Bethesda softworks were pretty cool, ID games, 3D realms, Blue bite, I don't know who owns now these companies, well I don't really play much anymore and don't have much overview.
Try to found games as original in their times as :
Doom
Warcraft
Fallout
Albion
Dagerfall
Settlers
Outlaws
NHL 97
Redneck Rampage
etc.
Fun and invention that's what I'm missing.
EA SPORTS used to be great with their sports games till they targeted real sports fans, sports fans are something else than gaming kids.
Piracy is an issue in countries where games are incredibly expensive like Eastern Europe.
I don't think it's that much of an issue in US or western Europe, hell I was so glad I could buy games for my brother when I was in US and it was so cheap.
