I borrowed
Darksiders and managed to beat it
just before it was due back - I wasn't quite prepared for how long it was. Initially, I dismissed it as just another third person action game and I hated the 90s comic book mixed with manga art style.
Once I got into it, I realised that it's much more open - you're always discovering, exploring and unlocking something. It's essentially Zelda in HD through a heavy metal filter - a magpie game with few new ideas - but it's done so well and so openly that it ends up feeling like a mashup of and a tribute to every game the developers love and their enthusiasm is infectious.
Darksiders won me over and I'd even recommend it to Zelda fans. I'll probably buy a sequel but I still hate that art style.

It's a great game, part of that period where Interplay were putting out fantastic weird shit.

It's in my list too, achieves so much with so little.

Plant Vs Zombies is awesome but doesnt have the addictive quality of peggle, at least for me. What's a popcap game that is equally compulsive as peggle? Zuma? Chuzzle? Bejeweled, Bookworm?

The closest addiction-wise they've put out is Bejeweled but it doesn't have the satisfaction that Peggle does.

Im also playing some Age of Kings, and Diablo 2 on the side. 2 Great games, the first one especially that I remember playing fondly somewhat competitively 8 years ago or more.

Have you tried
Torchlight? It's like single player Diablo without the annoying bits and with lots of nice touches. Made by some of the same guys too.
