Well since I have bludgened all the video games I have (excuse the multiplayer for WiC and TF2 only being that all others have gotten boring), and the 360 is in the repair shop I would love to have some new single player games to fiddle around with.

Personally I don't see much choice in the matter as most games out look like shit (besides the ones that I have already taken to my den of solitude), but if you have a suggestion on at least a decent game then through it out there. It's either that or just play gun game on CSS forever.

Right, so if you want to suggest a game please take a look at the list of games, and these are recent games mind you, that I already have.

Battlefield 2
World In Conflict
Medieval 2 Total War + Expansion
Call of Duty 4
BF2142
Age of Empires 3
C&C Generals
Orange Box
Call of Duty 2
Universe at War: Earth Assault
Company of Heroes + Expansion
Counter Strike: Source

Games I've played that I didn't like or I played so much they got boring
Warhammer 40,000 DoW + All Expansion
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars
All Medal of Honors
Bioshock
Star Wars Battlefront 2

O.K. so that should be enough information.

P.S. Sorry about the way this post came out sounding, I just watched Zero Punctuation for an hour and a half.

If you've got a quad core or high end CPU:

Supreme commander: forged alliance - better than supreme commander, as you can use the experimental units in the single player.

I don't see Crysis on yer list.

Edit: How was universe at war? I have it sitting in front of me, still packaged, and after reading reviews seeing ratings, was thinking of returning it.

You into flight sims? Lockon Moder air combat and its expansion are good. ArmA is also good but not many bf2s member seem to like it.

LOMAC has a steep learning curve but a fun game. IL2 Sturmovik is good for combat flight sims, has well over 100 of WW2 era fighters and bombers to choose from.
