I haven't played a video game since college when Starcraft was out. Loved that game.

What would be a good game for me to play now?

I never liked Warcraft III, If I were you I'd download the demo before you buy. It has more RPG elements then Starcraft. I know a good chunk of people that loved Starcraft but did not enjoy Warcraft for that reason.

Max Payne, Max Payne 2, Prince of Persia, Call of Duty, Battlefield 1942 and all expansions, MOHAA and all expansions, XIII, Warcraft III and Warcraft III Frozen Throne, Ghost Recon and all expansions just to name a few. That will keep you busy for a while!

I disliked starcraft (boring/repetitive), and for that reason enjoyed War 3 immensely.

Don't worry. The men in the black suits will be over to pick him up soon. Command & Conquer Generals is more of a game in one level than Starcraft ever was.

The original RTS makers still have it.

Off with your head. Ultima Online is still the best game ever, around the time of late 97/early 98.

Definately. Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic is a very fun game and great story if you want something different than RTS.
