Already did it.
I beat Dungeon Keeper Gold (released 1997) last week.

2010 games aren't old though. They're just out a while. If I haven't played them yet, they're new. :P
I'd consider 15 years and older and being on the old side. The technology is often really apparent at that point. An AAA game released 8-9 years ago is really no different than the majority of really good indie games released today.

just looking at the list, the following games came out 10 years ago:
Batman Arkham Asylum
CoD Modern Warfare 2
Dragon Age Origin
Other than that graphics have gotten a little bit better (if you have a high-end rig), those games are still some of the best in their respective genres.

I don't own a high end gaming rig. I've been sick for 2 years, so to be honest, just using the computer that I used for work. :) A mac. People get all "hurr durr" about that. But... so long as I don't want to play the absolute latest in AAA games, it's a non-issue. I have over 300 games that are compatible. ^^ Maybe when I return to work, I can get or build a computer exclusively for gaming that will allow me to play the handful of great games in my stash that are not compatible with my current machine.
Last week or so I played Day of the Tentacle (1993). Now that's an oldie. Hehe! It's timeless though and I won it here on SG. ^^

I did Call of Juarez (2006) earlier this month... Maybe I will go for Resident Evil 5 (2009) soon!
But, first, let me finish The Witcher 3 (which might take a while...) :D
Cheers!
Edit: Oops, fell for your Necro... which is oddly appropriate for this topic! :D

As an enthusiastic retro-gamer, this is the kind of challenge I like... an easy one. ;)
Currently playing:
Ghotic 2 Gold Edition (2005)
MDK (1997)
HOMM: Tribes of the East (2007)
Ground Control (2000)
Broken Sword 1. Director's cut (2010)
Just finished Theme hospital (1997) and Alien Vs Predator Classic (2000)

For people trying to choose: Here's a list of PC games released in 2009 (you can choose different years from the dropdown box) to see whether there's any game before 2010 that catches your fancy!
Most games with a Metacritic score over 84 (and user rating over 80 too) always seem to be worth playing, at least in my experience. :)

I finished the entire Half Life saga few months ago. Now, Dead Space is on my list.

My old games aren't in my Steam library ^^ #DuneForever #RedBaron

Some older things in my library that have a chance of being played... assuming they run on my current computer.
1989-1996 Tex Murphy Complete Pack
1993 Bloodnet - got it during a sale I think, maybe try again at some point, the introduction dialogue was pretty cheesy, but I guess that's too be expected.
2000 Alien versus Predator Classic 2000
2000 Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption - Didn't know about this one until I saw it on Steam store, should probably give it a try.
2004 Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines - Have the original discs somewhere, never did finish it. Perhaps time to give it another attempt.
2009 Ghostbusters: The Video Game - Another started, but never finished from disc version that I now have on Steam and should probably give it anther go.
I got a lot more not new games in my library than I realized... welp. let's see if any of them can keep my attention long enough to complete.

Speaking of games that came out a long time ago, but still aren't old (as in forgotten and not being played): Heroes of Might and Magic 3 will be 20 years old in 1-2 days! I still play that game quite regularly. :)
Guess I should try to finish Quake on hard, finally.

actually challenged myself to complete 3 old games that I CAN'T have in my library: Dino Crisis, Resident Evil and Resident Evil 2.
emerged victorious.

Thanks for the follow-up and for telling me about your gameplay experience. I have not played it since its release (so almost 18 years, wow) and I always find it interesting to hear from people who play 'games from my youth' for the first time. I wonder if I would have the same problems getting into it now if I were to play it again. Was it the camera in combination with the movement that made it not enjoyable? It was a bit finicky IIRC.
Good to hear this experience hasn't turned you off from playing the rest of the series. I have not played the third installment yet, because it came out so many years later than the other two games. But Max Payne 2 is an improvement in every regard and also has smoother gameplay. Although I'm not going to make any claims this time that you're definitely going to like it. ;)

I don't mind a little gaming related chat either if I can spare the time.
Just saw your post in the XIII remake thread and I absolutely second thresher3253's recommendation to play the original game now.
Extremely underrated game with a unique artstyle. Coincidentally the storytelling via comic panel is quite similar to Max Payne ;)
It's a comic book come to life.

Every year I write list of things that I need to accomplish in this year. Seeing how my steam library is growing I challenged myself to complete at least 15 games that I bought/got before this year. And there is a lot of uncompleted gems in my library.
For example: I finished Mass Effect 2 in February.
Now I'm playing Dark messiah of Might and magic, which was released 12 years ago...
And I never finished Dragon age: origins, Amnesia, Syberia 2 and never tried Braid...
TL:DR
Clear that backlog of old games
