There actually hasn't been any PC games released lately Id actually pay more then $20 for. Then again I am pretty picky anymore.

I'm kind of in the same boat. Q4 of the year is usually the worst time for PC games, save the few gems we got this quater like Doom 3, HL2, and Blizzard's boon to PC gamers, World Of Warcraft. Aside from those three, nothing has really caught my intrest over the last few months.

RTCW is excellent, and it's still quite popular online. Some other great titles are:

Morrowind
Rainbow Six 3
Half Life 2(Duh.)
Unreal Tournament 2004
Neverwinter Nights
World of Warcraft(Well worth the $15/mo)
Warcraft III
Sid Miers Pirates!
Civilization III
Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic
Call of Duty
Diablo 2 /w Expansion

Dawn of War is worth picking up, as is Evil Genius.

Personally I prefer the 'flawed masterpieces' that are fairly unknown and do something quirky / original on PC, than the superhyped FPS blockbusters.

Although having said that HL2 is superb until you finish it. As for RTCW online multiplayer, you might as well just download the free Enemy Terrirtory instead.

Also of note is Deus Ex (original) if you haven't played it yet, and Freelancer. There's even a semi MMORPG/tradewars-lite multiplayer, maintained by fan servers.

I wasn't all that crazy about RtCW for some reason. The only PC game I'm really playing is Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines, and I love it.

Sid Meier's Pirates (I've logged 60 hours in this so far. Its one of those "designed for replayability" games, imagine the oregan trail...)
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2

Yeah, the dialogue was fairly hillarious after awhile.

I think there was a good montage video clip in a review by x-play/extended play/gamespotTV/whatever of all the repetitious dialogue talking to merchants and other NPCs.

Don't laugh at me, but Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 is great! I loved the last 2 and it lives up to them, admitedly I was a lot younger

The new Warhammer game is supposed to be an excellent RTS. Also, Rise of Nations and Age of Mythology plus their expansions are also excellent.

Halflife 2 all the way
