Zombies! Humans! They are fun to play and can be mixed together for bigger games.
Phase 10 - Card game. Like a mix between poker and uno, its great.
Axis and Allies - More aimed for the WW2 enthusist but very good game and has some really cool game play.
Risk - I hate the board version, but PC version is a lot of fun.
The Game of Life Aggrevation Chinese Checkers Clue - There is a Harry Potter version thats fun. Scrabble Dominoes Catch Phrase Balderdash Milles Borne Yahtzee Atmosfear/Nightmare - Really goofy, but fun. Gotta rock a VHS player. Mad Magazine Game - Its like reverse Monopoly, where you try to lose your money. Its fantastic. Sorry - Its a game where people get shot lol. Munchkinz - DnD game, its lots of fun. Pictionary Othello Pente Stratego Taboo Twister - Great party game! Booze + twister = win Mancala Illuminati - Great party game. Lots of intrigue and backstabbing. Parcheesi UNO
There are a million but those are the ones I've enjoyed. You can't go wrong with a deck of cards because there's a million games right there.

You've actually got all the ones i'd have, apart from Cluedo, which is always nice to have on occasion (it also makes one seem more phosisticated).
Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

"You need not fear us, unless you are a dark heart, a vile one who preys on the innocent; I promise, you can’t hide forever in the empty darkness, for we will hunt you down like the animals you are, and pull you into the very bowels of hell." Iron - Within Temptation
