Intuitive controls, some kind of mental engagement, and the slot-machine payoff system that Radiostorm described will make for a fun game. Novelty will also pay off. For a huge showcase of fun little games, head on over to AddictingGames.com. Some rock, some suck, but there are enough good ones that you'll be able to get a good idea of what appeals to you.

The only two PC games I really liked was Starcraft/Warcarft3. What made them good was the solid single player campaign, the free multiplayer bnet, they also had world editors which allowed for hours of extra gameplay.

They're out there. There's an X-Men one, and you could probably count things like the 3D Gauntlet games as well. I remember a few for the N64, and there was a really lousy one called Brute Force that I tried on PS2. It was so bad, I took it back to Blockbuster and said it had a loading problem. Dishonest? Sure. But if they're going to trick me into renting crappy games, I'm entitled to a little dishonesty.
