strategy(What are the best strategy games out too btw?)

The Total War series beats out nearly all the competition in my opinion.

Also go east when looking for games. I've noticed that all the good PC games come from the other side of the old Iron Curtain.

ArmaII, STALKER, King's Bounty and Men of War are those that are fairly recent.

I'm excited for Aion, i'm just worried it's going to be another generic korean GRINDFEST.

I'm hearing good things though, just means if I want to play ill have to get a whole new computer

You KNOW its yet another Korean grindfest. People think otherwise because it's getting marketed as a "WoW killer".

Yeah, they said that of Warhammer online too..

That said, i've heard it isn't half bad.

And yeah, deep down I know it is going to be, i just have this tiny ounce of hope buried deep down that it will be different...

Well, if your ok with semi old games, CoD1 and its expansion United Offensive are pretty good. (Since you obviously like CoD)

That's all I got based on the games you have provided.

FPS games:
Far Cry 2 (if you are a bit of a masochist and don't mind dying A LOT)
ALL of the Half Life games (they are just such excellent games. I URGE YOU to play them if you have not yet)
F.E.A.R (I only tried the first one, and I though it was really good) and if you liked that, Doom 3.
Condemned: Criminal Origins (technically not a shooter, but its in first person and its pretty fun)
Both Crysis games
Rainbow Six: Vegas 1 and 2 (again, if you REALLY like hard shooters)
Left 4 Dead and TF2

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Portal. It's pretty short but the quality of the game is good enough that it doesn't really matter.

Thanks guys.

So far I tried:
Warcraft 3(Which is awesome, definite ~~torrent~~buy)
Crysis which I loved but had to run on medium settings

And thats about it for now. Aion LOOKS like its going to be another Korean Grindfest yes, but in reality it is not. I played the beta, and I can Honestly say, it is one of the smoothest mmopg's ive ever played. I personally prefer WoW over it just because of the storyline(Let's face it, Aion has no real story) butGameplay, graphiics, and atmosphere, Aion takes the win.

Counter-Strike Source.

Download Steam and you can browse through categories of games it's a really good way of hooking you up with games you could like.
