The apparently sentient cars of Burnout Paradise. Seriously, why are all the cars empty? It's spooky...
do the ghosts of fatal frame count? if so them
if not...
the rabbits from sheperds crossing
i never got the whole farmville thing but i picked up the knock off harvest moon and got to breed rabbits which come in many colors and caused the funniest look on my friends face.
him: "hey what are you playing? oh look you've got a bunny"
Me: (walks my char to markets comes back - 1 rabbit +2 rabbit meat)
him: "did you just butcher the bunny?!"

The Nu-Mou's from FFTA. There's something uber-cool about donkey-like hunchbacks who have access to the worlds most powerful magicks.
I'm going to go with the beast races in Morrowind. In a world of pansy elves and cliche humans (Ok, fine, orcs too), playing as a catman is badass. Too bad after enough training, a Bretton will kick anyone's ass though. Increased magic pools and resistances (plus the ability to wear the ever helpful Boots of Blinding Speed) make them the obvious choice over badass aesthetics.
Quarians from mass effect, you just have to feel sorry for them causing a robot apocalypse by trying to prevent it in the first place.
Good old Headcrabs.
I like how they are not just some disease made in a lab like oh so many zombie style lifeforms, or a supposedly highly intelligent sentient parasitic lifeform that actually completely sucks balls like the Flood from Halo.
They're just trying to get by and propogate their species, a headcrab latches onto a guy, turns him zombie, he trudges up to the nearest dude who happens to be Gordon Freeman, gets shot and dies.
Its brilliant!
(WIth regards to the Flood, I know that the Flood beat up an ancient race so much that they were forced to commit a galatic exterminatus with an array of big hula hoops, but to me you do not get that feeling of being overcome or destroyed by the slimey buggers in game, at all, they just seem so weak and downright silly even. I think we've had enough of power armoured big silent dudes for now, if there are going to be future Halo games there needs to be a Halo prequel set in the Forerunner-Flood war, done right it would be bloody brilliant.)

Ummm...
I love the Turians from Mass Effect. Then again, just about every species in that game is wonderfully detailed and fleshed out in the Codex. Turians are my favourite, though.
Let's see... The Kadeshi, from Homeworld. Coolest spaceships ever - seriously, look at the following:
Plus they're a race of insane religious fanatics living in a beautiful and gigantic nebula, in space. You've gotta love them.
(THEY'RE NOT DEAD RARARARARAR)

The L-Blocks from Tetris.
It's possible they're clones rather than a true species, but there's definitely a lot of them around.

You shouldn't even have to guess.
Ah, the magnificent creatures that are Lombaxes. Very cute, very clever, and very very deadly. A Proud Engineer Race if there ever was one. Just look at Ratchet's adorable big eyes, huge ears, and even bigger guns he carries around... he's all-around awesome.
