Squaresoft's first PS2 release, The Bouncer is a beat'em up that features RPG mechanics and a branching story path.

StarCraft has been called the greatest real-time strategy game ever and it's certainly one of the most critically acclaimed. StarCraft features three powerful, yet balanced races: the Terrans, the Zerg, and the Protoss. You play as each race fights to the death for the fate of the universe.
Hellfire is the official (but non-canon) singleplayer expansion pack for Diablo that was developed by Sierra instead of Blizzard. It adds new dungeons, character classes, and items, but was never supported in the same way as the base game.

A full-fledged sequel to id Software's Doom series of first-person shooters, developed by Midway exclusively for the Nintendo 64.

Sorcerian, also known as Dragon Slayer V: Sorcerian, is an action RPG released by Nihon Falcom in 1987. It was considered unique for its party-based action combat, magic combination system, and open-ended multi-scenario system that could be extended with expansion packs.
An early example of a "Metroidvania"-style platformer, Legacy of the Wizard tells the tale of a family of adventurers who must use their combined abilities to seek the Dragon Slayer sword and defeat a powerful dragon deep in a twisting labyrinth.
