New PC Game... What should I get?

[TheLemming]

I want something new to play and cant decide what at the moment. For "new" read "That I haven't got" - something brilliant from the last couple of years that I've overlooked would be great

Spec isnt an issue (ageing but still adequate dual core with 2 gig of RAM and an 8800gt - it wont max out Crysis but it plays everything else at 1920x1200 without issues).

So, I like FPS, RPGs and RTSs.

Need some ideas if anyone has any.. Im not being set on fire by the current crop of releases..

Current favourites:
Fallout 3
Sins of a Solar Empire
Team Fortress 2
Supreme Commander

Games Library (what I have)
All the Command and Conquer games
Fallout 3 (+ all the expansions)
Sins of a Solar Empire (+entrenchment)
Diablo 2
Mass Effect (unplayably crashy and buggy - would be nice to play it!)
Hellgate London
Baldurs Gate 1&2
Neverwinter Nights 1&2
Left 4 Dead
Orange Box
World in Conflict
Universe at War
Galciv
Guild Wars
Supreme Commander (+ expansion)
Doom 3
Quake 4
Company of Heroes
Warcraft 3
Maelstrom (dire, never buy it)
Warhammer- Mark of Chaos
Dawn of War (+ all expansions)
Dawn of War 2
Shadowgrounds : Survivor
Stalker
Warcraft 3
Prey

+ a few boxes of older stuff that doesnt get to live on the shelf near the PC.

I recently got Call of Duty: World at War but finished the single-player in 2 days am getting bored of the repetitive multi-player.

What about Assassins Creed - some reviews good, some bad but it kept me coming back for weeks

tried any of the Total War series? Then tend to keep you going for well ever with all the mods and stuff avaliable.

Bioshock's definitely worth a fiver if you've not played it.

Got Bioshock. Wasnt too impressed tbh. Nice, but pretty much a corridor shooter. Preferred Fear (I know, Im a heretic, burn me...)

Thanks for the idea though.

There is a new chapter for Left 4 Dead due out tomorrow (Crash Course - http://uk.xbox360.gamespy.com/xbox-360/left-4-dead... )

Other than that I've just got hold of Res-evil 5 which should keep me occupied for a couple of weeks.

Tomorrow you say? Left 4 Dead you say?

Thats what Im playing tomorrow then

(PS have you seen the teletubbies mod for L4D? Disturbingly funny :P)

Resi5 is fan-soddding-tastic. Not without it's flaws but it will keep you occupied for quite some time. My housemate had it on his PS3 and it was played to death.
