    You would probably like Spore ;)
    But unfortunately it doesn't get released until September...

    Have you tried Flight Simulator X? It will bring your system to its knees though. Very power hungry.

    Its not much fun if you don't have a joystick or a XBOX 360 controller hooked up though.
