Two RPGs about godlike powers: Nobilis, and a variant, Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine, based on Japanese anime:
( Nobilis & Chuubos )
Last time I said "This sounds interesting; my impression is that they're games aimed at more cerebral players, able to role-play really weird characters and think well outside the box, people whose idea of RPGs is number crunching and kicking open dungeon doors will probably hate them. The price is good, though as usual I have to point out that I don't have to pay it if I want this stuff, so your mileage may vary." Having read more I think my impression was right - these are interesting games with characters and settings well outside the norm, and well worth a look.
