So where does the step from 2D to 3D come into these, Whacker?
Nevermind that Shogun already was 3D, at least the battlefields, but I'd still call that a 3D engine.

All of them except for NFS and Quake started as 2D/2.5D.

Agreed.

Maybe I'm getting old, but I barely have fun playing recent video games. I enjoy NWN2, but don't find it nearly as fun as BG2 or even 1.

I played MTW for hours, finished it with a bunch of factions. I never finished a game of RTW, let alone M2TW, despite some of the excelent mods available. The only thing that kept me interested in RTW was trying to mod it.

Final Fantasy 10 and 12 have been huge letdowns. Nothing like FF6, 7 or 9.

So yeah, it often happens that I close a game, launch my emulator, and play an old Snes or GBA game (Secret of Evermore is still as awesome as it was ten years ago).

2.5D

I haven't played all of them so I didn't know about all of them.
You can stop now, it's beginning to hurt.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5D , my dearest bunny frogger. It's a quite well-known term.
