Morrowind was a fun RPG, if you can get past the characters looking like ass. Deus Ex (the first, not really the 2nd) had a great storyline and was a fun stealth/FPS. Half Life 2 goes without saying. Rome is a pretty good game, I didn't play it that much but Medieval was good and Rome seems like more of the same, but…
RPG / adventure- Vampire: Bloodlines Knights of the Old Republic Both fabulous fun, all the 20 sided dice stuff is "under the hood" as it were, so even non rpg fans might like them. Strategy- WH40k: Dawn of War ( only if you like multilayer, singleplayer = not much cop imo ) Shooter/fps- Deus Ex1 HalfLife2 (obviously)…
Call of Duty, definitely. Singleplayer is very dramatic, but a bit linear. Multiplayer is a blast. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory is free on the internet, and is really fun. Online multiplayer only. And you can't beat FREE!
Beyond Good & Evil = Great Game Max Payne 2 = Great Ending Tune (and something about a fun game in there too) Unreal Tournament 2004 = Decent Multiplayer Half-Life 2 = Uh....I liked the Gravity Gun (Beware of Bukkake and Tenticle rape on front page)

I've heard tell though that it's not very hot on the actual battlefield strategy, units not behaving as you'd expect and so forth. Is it more of a slightly arcadey pick-up-and-play particle-fest?
Rome Total War = oh yes if you like RTS games plus Civilization, this is a really fantastic game. You actually get to see each individual soldier on the battlefield and see them react appropriately (pikemen leveling their weapons against a cavalry charge, flaming catapult shots blowing your enemies into the air, rebelling…
