    I recommend STALKER and STALKER: Call of Pripyat (the third game). I do not recommend STALKER: Clear Sky (the second game)... at least not until you've played the other two first and really, really want more.

    I also very strongly discourage anyone from buying Farcry 2. It was an atrocious game. It's the first game I never bothered finishing since Black & White.

    Oh, yes... if you didn't get the Orange Box, you are missing what is probably the best valued FPS package in gaming history.

    Why are you not interested in HL2? It's a superb shooter.

    If you're too scared of monsters to play HL2, then skip the STALKER games as well. STALKER is far scarier than HL2.

    You liked Farcry 2 and disliked HL2? You must be a Bizarro World gamer.

    STALKER should be on anyones list there is nothing like it, right up there with classics like System Shock 2 and Deus Ex. There are monsters but their pressence totally makes sense in the absolutely awesome and very much realistic gameworld. It's not really scary but you will feel isolated because of the truly haunting atmosphere.
