Call of Duty & United Offensive ... although heavily scripted, brilliant. So intense you'll have to shut the game down for a while to calm yourself.

Doom 3 was a brilliant showcase of technology, and a mediocre, unoriginal (yes I know it was a 'remake' of the original) storyline. Good, but not great.

HL2 ... good stuff, though again, the storyline wasn't as fleshed out as it could have been

Far Cry was different, and a nice change from dark, brooding environments.

Chronicles of Riddick was unexpected, and rather amazing IMO. I went into it not thinking much of the movies at all, but I would much prefer to play this interactive movie than re-rent the DVDs again.

KOTOR is a great game for Star Wars geeks, and those who enjoy a good sc-fi romp. The controls I find a bit wonky, but I'm in the midst of playing it through for the second time, so they can't be that bad!

MOHAA is great for multiplay ... period.

Warhammer 40000: Dawn of War is a great sci-fi strategy game, with cool graphics, engaging play and decent length. Not terribly different than any others you will have played, but worth the money too.

That's my short list .... ;)

From what I played of Riddick on the XBOX I loved it.

Got stuck at one point and just never got around to playing it again, but it was definitely great looking and fun as hell~ :)

I'll give another vote for Farcry. Like the other's said, its a different game in a tropical setting. and of course HL2
