I need some good games for my new PC so wanting to get the following

The witcher
Dawn of war 2 + expansions
Oblivion and morrowind
Elder scrolls 5
Crysis
Diablo 3
Deus ex 3
AVP 3
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Starcraft 2
Half life 2
Unreal tournemant 3
Shogun total war 2
RUSE
Worms Reloaded
Planescape: Torment
Kingdom under fire 2
Metal slug collection
Wizardry 8
FATE
Age of mythology
Neverwinter nights 2
Homeworld 2
Company of heroes
Heroes of might and magic (not sure which)
gears of war
batman arkhum asylum
hunted:the demon forge.

but seem to not feel I've got enough RTS and wondering if there's any crackers I've missed. Can anyone recommend some good games or give some advice on the following;
- neverwinter nights, should I stick to getting the first, the second or both of them?
- any good mech games on PC?
- which is the best heroes of might and magic (or a better turn based strategy) game?
- Is titan quest as good as they say or should I just wait for diablo 3?
- any games you think were miles better on PC so worth me buying again (as have had most titles on 360 so far)?

or any other good games you can recommend of any genre.

Supreme Commander

I thought titan quest was okish, it didnt really captivate me
I'm thinking of missing it anyway, what I saw of youtube didn't impress me and I think the Diablo, elder scrolls, neverwinter nights, witcher series and others will keep me entertained for a while anyway.
Supremee commander is actually talked about a lot so I'll look into it, dead cheap some places too.
 
I beleive 3 is considered the best of the HOMM's, while 5 is considered a return to form.

I guess 4 must have sucked or something.

Looking at metacritic that seemed to be the general consensus but I figured fans would know better. I think I'll stick with 5 and then get 6 when it comes out since I would like to have the better graphics.

@ caz, will buy it from zavvi then :D
 
Not tried Diablo, but when I tried Titan Quest as a pure melee, it bored me silly. Even activating a cheat wasn't enough for me to finish it. It might be better as a caster style build.
 
I'd warn against HoMM5 I_B. The AI is so badly coded that turn processing durations are a joke. I'd play HoMM 5 over 3 myself nowerdays (partly because I've played 3 to death) but can't for this reason alone.

Also, you want to add Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe (OTTD) to that list. Every computer should have it installed.

And since others said it was the best too probably worth a dive and I'm sure the graphics will be fine.
