    I have exhausted my game list at home.

    A quick recap
    -Starcraft, Counterstrike, Counterstrike Source, Need For Speed III Hot Pursuit, Need For Speed Most Wanted, Need For Speed Carbon, F-22 Lightning 2, Command And Conquer Generals, Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon and Grand Theft Auto Vice City.

    I also play emulators based games on Visualboy advance and PCSX2

    ps - sorry for dumping all of my games that i played here :p. Also, i've completed them at least once with the exception of Need For Speed Carbon with 3 times.

    So roughly based on these generes, what other games can i play? I'm pretty bored at home due to holidays, so i really appreciate any game suggestions/recommendations!

    Huh? Is there a holiday I'm not aware of?

    I'd say for a change of pace try Civ4. Or any of the newer sim city games.

    Well you have C&C Generals, so naturally you should get C&C3. You might also like Supreme Commander or Company of Heroes if you want to fill your craving for RTS. Since you have Counter Strike Source, you must have Half Life 2, so you could try Half Life 2: Episode 1.

    As for Tom Clancy, you could get Rainbow Six: Vegas, a very good FPS, as well as others like Prey, F.E.A.R., or the recently released S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl.

    Since you have Vice City, you could also get San Andreas for the PC, I played it on the Xbox and it was a great game.

    For racing, you could try Need for Speed Underground 1 and 2, maybe even Flatout2.

    try dungeon seige 2. its kinda old but still very fun and addicting. u could also try call of duty 2. its good the first time u play through it but after that its kinda done for. the multiplayer is pretty good though. and since u got the source engine on ur comp try downloading Gary's Mod. its free and fun to play around with. u can position characters in wierd positions, create scenes of violence, humor or whatever ur heart desires.

    Armed Assault, the most realistic game you'll find this year.
