I specifically grabbed the old Myrmidon Press game Manhunter and Cubicle's SLA Industries about two weeks back when I realized that I was in somewhat the same position as you are currently (I don't think that D&D 3.5 is "videogamey" but I did get a bit burned out on it due to the ease with which players can circumvent consequence). Both of the games that I picked up have largely static core attributes, don't escalate hit points drastically (and in the case of Manhunter, they aren't escalated at all), and throw plenty of potentially deadly challenges at the PCs as a matter of course. They're also 'party' games (i.e., players travel in groups), so they have much the same play dynamic as D&D but with consquences for not thinking things through. SLA is pretty easy to get hold of (and the old supplements are now available via RPGNow). Manhunter is a bit harder to find, but worth it if you can snag a copy for less than $30.</blockquote>
