I think Avatar would be the popular example these days. Maybe Dune. Anything that could be decribed as "Lawrence of Arabia in space".
Games like Morrowind and Outcast - pretty much anything that involves the player waltzing in from afar, being treated with hostility by the natives and eventually leading them all to glory - could be considered planetary romance.
Oddworld, not really. If nothing else, the stories are too varied. Even if you called Abe's Exoddus a planetary romance, it would hardly apply to Stranger's Wrath.
