Recommend me a game: Pyramids and Mummies wanted.

One of these days I'll make a thread that isn't asking people for game recommendations, really I promise. But in the meantime I was wondering if anyone could think of any good Egyptian theme games off the top of their head. You see I recently finished playing Curse (HL2 Mod) and was really drawn in by the atmosphere. The whole mysterious ruins and temple exploring thing really appealed to me and now I've kind of got an itch for more.

Awesome, thanks.

I know its not Egypt, but Uncharted 2 does the whole "mysterious ruins and temple exploring thing" pretty fantastically.

Or you could get the Sims 3: World Adventures. One of the three major locales is Egypt, and includes going through ruins and avoiding mummies. And a bladder meter!

It's maybe not quite as serious as you were hoping but I had fun with this title last generation:

randombattle

La Mulana or Spelunky would be a good (also free) addition to those.

Prince of persia games has a similar style to that (last gens).

HeXen II, Power Slave, Chasm: The Rift.
For some games you need DOSBox.

For HeXen II i recommend to you use Hammer of Thyrion source port

I was just coming in to post that! A good fun Zelda wannabe.

Tomb Raider Anniversary has some nifty parts in Egypt.

If you can stomach it, Tomb Raider Last Revelation takes place entirely in Egypt.

Titan Quest

To be more specific, a third of the game (a quarter if you count the expansion) takes place in Egypt. Great hack & slash game BTW (better than Diablo & Torchlight IMO) so I'd recommend it regardless of your Egyptian leanings if you're a fan of the genre.
