I got crysis, waiting on a video card powerful enough to play it with nice visuals
im not a fan of oblivion type game types...running around collecting things is not like me as you can tell by the games i own..

It's like command and conquer without the base building. It focuses more on controlling individual groups of units. Multiplayer is very unique and fun. Each player command a specific unit group, including air, armor, infantry, and support. All of the groups work together to defeat the enemy.

Lost Planet is a fun shoot em up. Rather repetitive, but still fun. I think based on the other games you have, you would enjoy this the most.
STALKER is a FPS/RPG hybrid. You may not like if your not into running around collecting things like you do in most RPG games.
Bioshock is another FPS/RPG hybrid, but it's really an FPS with very few RPG elements. Mostly a shoot em up with a interesting setting and story.

I see so Lost planet should be the next i try, then bioshock as i get more bored...i REALLY need to update my car racing collection, whats best ? NFS: carbon, NFS: pro street, or DiRT ????????????????????? DiRT looks awesome....but will it look nice on my 7800gt ? which is my only bottleneck . i have NFS most wanted and its good and all, but i want something new ,

Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines

You can buy it on steam now and apply one of the community updates (even with the official patches, it is buggy) after it installs.

In my top two favorite FPS / RPG hybrids, along with Deus Ex.

VTM:B also uses the HL2 engine (although an early version)

Bioshock and Stalker are great.

The Settlers: Rise of an Empire is pretty cool too.

 

[skyofavalon]

S.W.A.T. 4 is one of the best games released this decade

 

[Fox5]

Galactic Civilizations 2 and Sins of a Solar empire.

Dirt is much better than either of the two NFS games. If you're into racing go for that.

 

[andrei3333]

Do you have it / have you played it ?

my only bottle neck is my 7800gt, i am running a 17" lcd at 1280x1024.. will Dirt run fine ?

woah.

Came out of the woodwork.

This was a good tactical sim. It was a little hardcore though...

 

[Corporate Thug]

R6: vegas is still very fun for me.

 

[imported_glacier]

DiRT is quite a fun racing game. Actually I would say it is more like a blend of racing game + simulation, considering its realistic handling and physics.

It ran smoothly at 1280 x 1024 on my 8800gts 320 mb, c2d e6600 and 2gb ram.

 

[Capitalizt]

Bioshock most definitely.
