    Perhaps give the Orange Box a go in general.

    You much of a RTS fan? Perhaps something like Company of Heroes?

    Orange box for sure.
    Starcraft will be out this year I suspect, so that will be a nice diablo 2 replacement.
    I didn't like Fallout 3 so much either.

    Starcraft can not be a diablo 2 replacement, I guess a nice replacement for diablo 2 should be Titan Quest
    Beside, if you like FPS, there's plenty of good FPS in the past, but I'm not sure u can stand the old day graphic (about 3 to 5 years) or not.

    Oblivion + mods would keep you busy for a long while. although it may bore you if you have fallout 3 already.
    Drakensang looks interesting. despite german developer hate i see floating around

    You could always try an MMO like EVE Online. If you want a 21 day trial instead of the regular 14 day trial, just pm me with your email address and I can shoot one off to you.

    Empire: Total War
    and Warhammer 40k: Dawn of War 2 are two new RTSs that are very good.

    Just to tell you, COD is not same old same old. It is the pinnacle of human achievement.

    (okay maybe not but it's still a brilliant series).

    +1 on both. Beautiful and very engaging games. Makes you think about what you are doing instead of just throwing everything you have at the enemy. There is an Empire: Total War demo through Steam.
