Quake... need i say more? Probably the best game there is. I havent played Quake 4 but since Quake 3 Rocket arena was the most fun i\'ve had in a computer game it must be brought up! If you have lightningfast reflexes its a game for you :)

Dont know if you need a good computer, but its freaking awesome anyways!

If you reduce the graphic option you can get this to work, my computer is far from being a bomb and I was surprised I could get it to work smoothly. Gameplay wise it\'s not really better than rome though. [/quote]

I know and it works fine at the medium settings but I like to have huge battles and the frame rate slows down a good bit with huge battles. As you said its not that much better than Rome just set in a later time period. Right now I like the Roman era better.

Oooo! Seconded!

I\'m a ridiculously huge fan of this series. Thief 2 looks its age now, but the game play more than makes up for that. Thief: DS was.... a reasonably worthy successor. That sounds like damnation with faint praise but it\'s more of a reflection of how much I loved the first two (to the point of rabid fangirl-ism). DS was also released on the Xbox, and it was apparent that they were more concerned with pandering to the console crowd than the PC crowd, which I found somewhat irritating but not insurmountable. If you\'re a completeist, I\'d recommend playing Thief: The Dark Project (the first in the series) as well, but I\'ll admit that they made some odd choices as to the levels (and zombies) they threw at you.

Btw, if we\'re on the subject of the rather old-skool, did anyone recommend Deux Ex yet? It\'s another game that completely rocked my socks off, even though it\'s not the prettiest of games. I\'m not sure I\'d recommend DX: Invisible War (the more recent sequel), tho. I couldn\'t even bring myself to play through the demo. It was horribly buggy and killed my \'puter tho, which probably didn\'t help my initial impressions!

I can\'t believe Civ 4 hasn\'t been mentioned yet! IMHO one of the best ever made!

Orange Box is a great deal, lots of hours of fun play. I think it\'s worth it for Portal alone.

Fallout 3 is a gem, for that matter so are #1 and #2 if you haven\'t played them.

Sins of a Solar Empire as previously mentioned is one incredible piece of work.

Never got into Portal as it messed with my head too much - however, I am \'directionally challenged\' (bonafide medical condition, honest) and it just ended up scrambling my brain.
My son on the other hand, would agree and thinks it\'s fantastic.
