Picking up some new games

I thought call of duty 2 was really cool. Far Cry is also a very good game and probably cheap now since its a bit old.

For the RPG end, NWN 2 is very similar to NWN 1, cheesy transparent hack and slash plot with mediocre gameplay strapped to an interesting campaign development system that allows the community to make campaigns that don't suck. If that sort of idea appeals to you, go for it, if you want more substance out of your RPGs I'd look somewhere else.

Oblivion was a lot of fun but it had a couple of glaring issues. First off the leveling system was... ill conceived. Second the savegame system was poorly handled (if you have multiple characters then you have to dig through the long list of saves to find the last one on your other character). There are mods to correct the second issue, but not really the first. The only other major issue would be that there is so much exploration you can do that it is easy to get sidetracked from the plot, then bogged down by the repetition, then quit before beating the main plot. Kinda disappointing. Other than those issues, the game was fun. The plot was fairly engaging, and the gameplay was interesting.

There really has been a bit of a dearth of good PCRPGs lately. I'm looking forward to Dragon Age to fill the gap. You might want to hold on to some of that money to pick it up instead.

On the RTS side I'd recommend Warhammer 40,000 Dawn of War : Dark Crusade (long title, I know). If you enjoyed Company of Heroes, you should enjoy this as well, same developer, though while both games share some gameplay mechanics, they are different enough that they are very distinct. If you can, you might want to pick up the Warhammer 40k Dawn of War gold pack as well which includes both the original and the first expansion, but you can play Dark Crusade without the original.

Have fun.
