Quite so Robo; CS:S reminds me too much of Halo 2. Of course, if you just get the HL2 GOTY edition you'll get HL2, CS:S, HL2:D, and HL:S.

Just to reiterate ones already said; F.E.A.R. is an excellent choice. There is no F.E.A.R. 2 though; the expansion pack comes out soon enough. F.E.A.R.'s a scary FPS, and when I mean scary, I mean it makes Doom 3 look like child's play (sorry peoples, but I'm not afraid of the dark).

Civilization IV is another game to check out. It's a turn-based RTS, and I've never played a turn-based game before, and I must say, I was extremely impressed and felt like I got my money's worth. It did win GOTY, after all.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is another game to check out. Basically everyone has been anticipating it to be one of the strongest runners that will win GOTY this year. Oblivion is a complete single player RPG in an extremely immersive and gigantic world.

Last, but not least, would be Neverwinter Nights 2, which will be out on October 31st. Neverwinter Nights 2 is completely different from Oblivion in the sense that NWN tries to bring D&D rules into a 3D game and executes it wonderfully. NWN features a remarkable toolset that allows you to create your own worlds of people, scripts, stories, items, and pretty much everything else. It also has multiplayer too, something missing from Oblivion.

Of course, all of these will not come cheap nor run on most of everyone's computer. A simple way of finding out whether your computer can run them is by going to this site and selecting the game from the list; the rest will be taken care of for you:

Half Life 2, a lot better than Halo's campaign.
CSS, I can play this game for hours.
Battlefield 2
FEAR if your system can run it.
Oblivion smokes pole after the first few hours, then it's repetitive and boring.

Mods solve this problem. It's also not "repetative and boring" until after you've beaten the game and completed every quest. Then you just download new ones.

Command & Conquer: TIberian Sun and the expansion, FIrestorm, are good. Not exaclty the most amazing graphics ever, but decent gameplay. You'll get bored after about 2 hours of Player vs Computer play though, so hit the Multiplayer button, and enjoy endless hours of 'click.... click, click..... click.... click...........scroll, scroll, scroll, click ...................click....'

All excellent choices, IMO. Dude, the C&C series is significantly superior to Halo PC.

Oxymoron, anybody? You do realize RTS stands for real-time strategy..

Yes, but it hardly provides the same adrenaline rush.

If you are running an MS operating system, just go start > run, type dxdiag, and hit enter.

FEAR 2 has been announced in the making, he asked for any cool games and I figured a FEAR and FEAR Extraction Point Sequal would be cool...

Oh hush. Turn-based strategy; happy now? ;P

Also, Cheewawa, he said:

what are some new PC games that are worth buying.
Thus implying ones that have recently and have already been out.

Another vote for Half-Life 2. Awesome, awesome game. Valve (unlike some other companies ¬_¬) did a VERY good job of making sure the game would work well on a wide variety of computers, from the high-end to the very low end, so I would recommend it if your system specs are not the best.

Oh, to find system specs, go to, like someone mentioned

Start>Run type "dxdiag" and hit enter. Then, compare them with what the label on the box says.

Oh, one very important tip when buying a game: Most popular games (Half-Life 2 and FEAR included) these days have trial versions that give you a taste of what the game feels like. They also, conversely, give you the chance to see if your computer can run it comfortably. You might want to consider trying demos out before dropping 20 bucks on a game and having it run like crap on your computer.
