I second the votes for pretty well anything Valve made in the timeframe. With the exception of TF2, I love all of their games.

Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn (2000) and Throne of Bhaal (2001)
Max Payne I (2001) and II (2003)
Dawn of War series (2004+)
Unreal Tournament 2004
Homeworld 2 (2003) -- I might say Homeworld 1 instead, but that was 1999.
Call of Duty 1 (2003), 2 (2005) and 4 (2007). None of the others deserve "best game" status.
Thief 2 (2000) and 3 (2004)
Battlefield 1942 (2002)
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time (2003)
Counter-Strike: Source (2004)
Worms World Party (2001) or Worms: Reloaded (2010)
BioShock (2007)

DotA (WC3 edition): Although technically just a map, I would call this one pretty significant. Although not the first game of the type, its popularity basically built the genre.

Honourable Mention:
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six 3 (2003): This game wasn't particularly good, but it's the only game that's almost killed me through laughter. Story: my squad is assaulting some industrial yard. We've gotten up on a metal mesh catwalk, and have come to a door at the end. I tell my squad to wait, and crack the door open. I see a guard patrolling, so I order one of my squad-mates to throw a grenade through the door. Squadmate #2 steps up to the door and throws this grenade--with all of his might--directly into the door. It hits the ground, he yells "MURPHY", and my point of view abruptly switches to squad 2.

Favourites:
StarCraft II (2010)
Quake Live (2009)
Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (2003)
Dragon Warrior VII (2000)

Honourable Mention:
Call of Duty 4 (2007)
Civilization IV (2005)
Guitar Hero (2005)
FarCry 1 (2004)
Call of Duty 1 (2003)
Homeworld 2 (2003)
Civilization III (2001)
Grand Theft Auto III (2001)
Return to Castle Wolfenstein (2001)
Diablo II (2000)

That's all I can recall at the moment. Going through these games made me realize how many great games were created around 1998-1999. Also, I was pretty shocked to realize that Civilization IV is already over 7 years old! Wow.
