Wow...good topic. I actually can't think of anything except for one that's most likely wrong.

 

Co-op/FPS with decent attempt at a story/"Tactical" A.I. - Halo (X-Box)

I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows

 

'Cause I won't know the man that kills me

and I don't know these men I kill

but we all wind up on the same side

'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will.

Dune II had fog of war 2 years earlier. Not sure if there was something earlier then that.

Wasn't Dune II the game that made the "RTS" way of playing popular ?

RPG's and FPS's can work together sometime - Deus Ex (I know that System Shock belongs there too, but again, we're talking about successful games here)

King's Quest - first 3D RPG. Feel free to have the whole "it's not an RPG cos it doesn't have element X or function Y in it" argument. I cba though :) My generation invented the term RPG, so we'll use it as we bloody well please.
