Bought any good computer games lately?

I'm bored and summer break is near. What do you recommend? I've found several on the horizon, but nothing that's available now. Here they are:

Glory of the Roman Empire:

City Life (by the same developer):

There's also PT Boats: Knights of the Sea, but I have doubts about whether they'll release that while we're all still alive:

If I were to go out and pick up a game like one of these tomorrow, what would you recommend?

1. I've been playing FEAR recently.

Creepy-ass FPS. Surprisingly good.

Oh, and Doom3 as well.

2. rockmountaindem, if you never played Far Cry, snag it off the bargain bin.

Still looks very cool and just a fun, fun shooter.

I agree with FEAR also but it's a brutal system hog.

4. Yeah, Far Cry is worth checking out.

Got hooked on that during the summer '04.

3. The Roman one looks cool. Reminds me of the Ceasar ones....

...I may check it out.

5. Oblivion

The 4th installment of the Elder Scrolls series.

Should be hitting the shelves this week.

More details & links to reviews here.

6. I go for strategy games

I'm still playing a lot of Rise of Nations and really looking forward to the sequal that should be out soon.
