that depends what you want...if you like the RTS thing....

Command and COnquer are very good games..cant go wrong with teh classic REd Alert lol...

Civ series is one hell of a game if you like the strat stuff..

Longest Journey - A good game if you want to follow a really good story and be invovled..its a move your guy and click kind of game.

Monkey Island - A very funny move yoru guy and click kind of game...

If normal FPS bore you go for some good flight sims like...Freespace or something....

Everquest and those kind of games are very good also....Addictive tho...

Rise of nations...very good RTS

Age of Empires...everyone seems to like

Myst - If you like to think....A LOT

Diablo 2 - very good

Yeah, great game, but it falls under the RPG category.

but it's not really the FPS perspective right?? i got the impression that it was more like the Diablo type perspective. btw, i did play diablo I and diablo II (what a waste).

the Total War games were good. For mindless party fun on the Xbox pick up a copy of Totaled. Should be pretty cheap too.

Rise of Nations is not a RPG....it's a RTS.
