You should give us more information - what games do you like? (genre, favorites, date etc.) How many games do you already own?

There are a lot of interesting games imminently coming out - Neverwinter Nights 2; Warhammer 40k: Dark Crusade and Mark of Chaos. Check them out on gamespot.com or something.

Of this year's games, Oblivion and Civ4 are both solid titles - good value and at the frontier of their genres.

Going back a couple of years, Vampire: Bloodlines and Star wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 are perhaps the two purchases I've enjoyed most.

If you want to go way back, all time greats for me would include:

RPG: Baldurs Gate 1 & 2; Fallout 1 & 2
RPG/FPS: System Shock 2, Deus Ex
Shooter(ish): Ghost Recon, Vietcong, Mafia
Tactical Strategy: Jagged Alliance 2, X-Com 1
Strategic Strategy: Panzer General 1 & 2

But to be honest, with M2TW coming out so soon, I'm not sure you'll have that much time to play other games. Maybe try Mount and Blade? A good, cheap filler.

You recall Operation Flashpoint? One or two successors will be released. A must buy imho.

Pippa Funnell: The Stud Farm Inheritance

Gripping stuff for all show jumping fans and horsey people! Mods include: 'Glue Factory Outing' where you can take all your horses which don't make the grade to the glue factory; and 'Bang! Who's for horsemeat? Beta' whereby horses who suffer a broken leg are gunned down in front of young impressionable children and later processed into horsemeat, providing a much needed boost to funds. Who said flogging a dead horse didn't have its rewards!

You didn't say what kind of games you were into so I took a random punt.

You could go with Hearts of Iron 2 or the new Doomsday.

Warhammer 40K: Dark Crusade looks promising with its continuous campaign. Warhammer Mark of Chaos looks like a TW clone in a fantasy setting, (with smaller unit sizes). Imperial Glory is sort of a Napoleonic TW, but not that good apparently.

Maybe you should just browse Gamespot, start with a TW game and use the 'similar games' feature ?
