Been out of the gaming scene for a while. Any decent games out recently? I like FPS, RPG, RTS.

What I would love is a great space sim. There hasn't been anything cool like that since say Freespace that I know of. I liked the old Wing Commander games and similar stuff.

All the games i'm gonna suggest are only the ones I played, so it's pure opinion.

- FPS: Just Cause 2, Left 4 Dead,

- FPS mixed with some RPG elements: Bioshock, STALKER: SoC, Fallout 3 (great game, you should get it)

- RPG: Dragon Age, Drakensang (old school underdog european RPG), Risen (very similar to the Gothic series), The Witcher (a little hard to get into at first, but a nice mature RPG), Mass Effect, Divinity 2 Ego Draconis (overlooked by some, imo it's a great and fun RPG)

- RTS: My personal favorite is the Dawn of War series. Dawn of War II is more action oriented but with some RTS elements plus loot to enhanced your heroes. Love this series!

Hope it helps!

FPS: If you want multiplayer FPS, check out TF2 and L4D2.

RPG: Dragon Age: Origins is a great WRPG with a fantasy theme. There is also The Witcher, a european WRPG with morally ambiguous choices (rare for an RPG) and lots of nudity.

To combine the previous two genres there are games like Mass Effect 1/2 (Third Person Shooter RPG) and Bioshock 1/2 (FPS with very tiny bits of RPG flair).

RTS: Starcraft 2 just came out, and it honestly has the best single player campaign since the original SC. The game has its flaws, but its better than any other RTS I've played (DoW1/2, RA3/Command and Conquer, Company of Heroes, etc, etc)
