WHAT? Other expansion packs?
Ok, my turn. Time to go for some lesser known stuff maybe:
-Archimedean dynasty/aquanox series, with my absolute adoration of the first. In my opinion, an almost perfect blend of story, immersion and innovative gameplay back in 1996. Germans know the first as schleichfahrt. While the recent deep descent has been somewhat of a departure, i wonder what thq Nordic will do with the series now.
C&C come to mind.
Well, this is about game series as a whole, I think you're allowed to dislike single entries ;) (C&C is what, 8 games ?)
I kind of feel like a series shouldn't qualify if there's only one good game/actual game in the series...
Really?
You are fan of Tiberian Twillight?
- Bioware's Dragon Age-series (with special mention of Dragon Age II)
While on the gameplay front there is plenty fault to be head with each entry of the franchise, e.g. all the damn flailing - it is another good example how powerful owning your playthrough can be. Plus, more more than ME DA has a lof of contemporary ideas on its mind, which makes it that bit much more valuable as exercise in self-relfection. The rushed and often-maligned second mainline game also did some really cool things as bucked western RPG conventions, e.g. by emphasising the passage of time rather than the traversal of space.
[re Dragon Age]
I liked these games a lot, but they were not quite as cohesive as a series as Mass Effect, especially since your player character was different each time.
I actually think that having a different player character each time is one of the strong points of the series - It breaks with the idea of the "indispensible man" (masculine is no accident here) and it structurally encourages you to play each role with committment to a course of action that is right. If it Dragon Age ever does an "all-star-game" it would be intersting so see what comes of it, esspecially if you bring your PCs into ideological opposition or agreement.

I think it's honestly a tossup between Monkey Island and Devil May Cry; the former for being completely linear and yet inspiring me to replay the entire series on a regular basis (not to mention its profound impact on my childhood), and the latter for... well, honestly, just for scratching an itch that somehow none of its "inspired by" successors ever managed to scratch in quite the same way.

Fun Fact- those games are also complete several times while over 1k other games just sitting on a high tower of shame. Even AAA Games - not space - not on my List. Maybe i never even start them.
Non Space Game i play - World of Warships
