Marathon is a kick-ass game from Bungie that makes Doom look like a game
for little girls (no offense to any little girls on this list).

It's a POV shoot-em game with incredible graphics, sound and physics, and
(gasp!) an actual story with an actual plot. I don't know if the original
is availible for Windows, but the two sequels are.

Do yourself a favor and check this game out.

ps, it's also great networked. I work for a design company, and can't say
you've truly lived until you've played Marathon with three other people on
blazing fast ethernetted Macs with 21" monitors, stero sound and live audio
mics. Of course, one could argue I need to get a life...
