Snatcher definately is very Bladerunner-ish. First thing that came to mind for me was that street level in Perfect Dark (been a long time since I played it so my memory's a bit hazy). That's hardly a full game though.
Should have said I've played the Blade Runner PC game long ago. It's brilliant.
Same with Snatcher, it's SO like Blade Runner. I played that through emus.
I was thinking maybe 1st or 3rd person adventures/shooters that give the Blade Runner vibe. Something that when you draw your pistol it's an event not something that has you running around killing hundreds of enemies.
And for another point 'n click, Beneath a Steel Sky is an excellent Revolutoin title with lots of BR overtones. It's freeware now too.
I second that one and thought of it as soon as I saw this thread. You can download the game and ScummVM to play it on here, and ScummVM has been ported to pretty much everything.
The Legend Adventures Gateway and Gateway 2 on the PC have a really good sci-fi atmosphere and last for a long time.
And there is also the PC adventure "Rise of the Dragon" which is pretty close to Blade Runner in terms of atmosphere and setting.

Not quite the same setting, but System Shock 1 and 2 and Shadowrun could suit your purposes. The action in those titles is very sproradic and very intense when it comes. Neither have you playing a Deckard-like character though.

It's not really gothic or serious like Bladerunner, but there was a very British first-person adventure (the genre you're kind of referring to) called Normality Inc from the mid 90s that was set in a dystopian 1984-like future. It was silly a game, but I enjoyed it.
As you can tell from my avatar im a big BR fan and gotta say the PC BR game was fantastic. Im now intrested in playing snatcher would an emu be the best way of getting to play it now.
