Welcome to Ironworks!!!

Now, to the topic at hand. A good PnP rpg is always good. Just don't start that fiasco that occurred back in the 80's all over again

.
As far as PC games I'd start with anything made by the late Black Isle studios. They tend to make awsome games.
For PS2 Various Squaresoft titles, also the few that come out of Tri-Ace (e.g. StarOcean)
I always like to play a good MMORPG. The one I have now is called AnarchyOnline.

It's ok Ray, welcome to Ironworks [img]smile.gif[/img]
If you have some money to spend then a MMPORG could be your cup of tea so to speak. Check out Dark Age of Camelot or Everquest and see what you think [img]smile.gif[/img]

That's okay, newbie mistake. In the future, though, just hit the edit/delete button on the top right of your post. It allows you to change or delete your post, thus allowing you to delete and repost with the correct icon. New learning experiences...

Oh, almost forgot...

You really didn't specify console, PC, pen and paper (known as PnP on this board), etc. So I'll break down some recommendations of mine.

Console: I really don't play console, so can't really recommend anything there. However, in June Fable is coming out on Xbox, and looks REALLY good!
PC: I can recommend stuff here. The Baldur's Gate series is great, as is Planescape: Torment (you'll have to search for that one). Neverwinter Nights is good, especially if you add the expansions and/or download modules off of the internet. For straight hack and slash, try Icewind Dale or Diablo.
PnP: 3rd edition D&D is good, as are GURPS and Hero System (Champions, etc.). For PnP, your best bet is to look around at people who play in the general area where you live (hobby shops are a pretty good place to start) or look at the Online Roleplaying board here on this site.

Definately play the Baldur's Gate Series. They'er great games that you can play over and over and still won't get bored.

I agree. Especially with all the mods and some of the are very good but are still in development. (Icewind Gate II for example)
