Try empire total war. Far cry is pants and so is crysis.

ive been folowing empire. i was realy looking forward to it but acording to popular opinion at TWcenter its verry poor. it suffers from teh same problems as medieval. aparently it is like hoping across platforms of shining brilliance trying to gnore the stinking cesspools of stupid AI and no faction variety. aparently. thanks though. im going to see what people say after a few patches are out.

Crysis was quite rubbish imo but I really enjoyed Far Cry 2! Im playing through Fallout 3 at the moment, its excellent!

For an FPS i would gun for Left 4 dead, its amazing fun as long as you have some mates to play with (SP is a bit dull)

The best RTS games out at the moment are Dawn of war 2 and Company of Heroes imo.

Fallout 3 and The Witcher.

FPS:
Orange box

CoD4.
If you can turn your brain off: Crysis Warhead.

Strategy:
Company of Heroes.
Supreme Commander.

Can't help ya with RPG's aside from perhaps Stalker and Fallout 3, I don't really like RPG's.

Crysis I would say is much better than FC2 (though that's not saying much). FC2 was rubbish from the word go and after around 30 minutes off play I would never look back at it again - FC1 was so much better and can be had for pennies.

Thats very true. Drakensang looks okay as well. Mass Effect was short but awesome. If you like being scared then Dead Space is another goodie!

Must admit the best thing about FarCry2 is the range of guns available, other than that it's not really that great at all. Very repetitive game play, and too many poor decisions which could have made an OK game into a great one, just a bit shorter.

Crysis / Warhead are pretty good, excellent "tech demo" type games where you can see the top end of current technology, but both are fairly short, and although the AI isnt scripted the entry points of enemies is, so it doesnt hold a lot of replay value.

Company Of Heroes is superb - always a new way to try a mission, different ways to do things, and although it frustrates the life out of me the population cap is a very good idea. Means you can only have so much force on the map at once, be it men, jeeps, tanks etc.

Fallout 3, Stalker SOC / Clear Sky, Cryostasis and Bioshock is worth some play too.

Give the Witcher Enhanced Edition a bosh. IMO its really pretty. And its one of the few RPGs that I've really got into. I didn't finish it of course. I never do. Something else always comes along. Sigh.

And look out for Starcraft 2. In my mind's eye this will be the pinnacle of RTS gaming. I.e. anything less than perfection and I'll be disappointed .

If you can turn your brain off: Crysis Warhead.

Quoted for much truth. If you've played something thoughtful like HL2 you'll struggle...

Its absolutely essential that you buy Orange Box and Civ 4 Complete Ed btw. Which I should think are stupid cheap now.

 

[Tummy]

Shooters ?

Crysis / Crysis War Head.
Far Cry II
Call of Duty 4
Half Life 2 * if you've not played it already
Left 4 Dead
Team Fortress II

RPG

Mass Effect
Fallout 3
Maybe Grand Theft Auto IV even though it's not an RPG its well worth playing.

 

[Kua]

Mass Effect is a must. Not especially demanding but very stylish.

 

[Turtles]

Orange box! You will not be dissapointed!

Oh and Left 4 Dead if you have some friends to play with or play with the OcUK guys - clicky and clicky!
