    I have beaten crysis and warhead 12 times. And CoD4, well lets just say my kill count is in the hundred thousands. What other good PC games are there, that will breathe a breath of new air into my PC gaming life.

    I am over having a good GPU and hating my EX Dellm1330. Now i want to play some diffrent games.

    So leave your suggestions here. NO action FPS shooters. Games like Left4Dead are ok...but no run and gunners.

    <<<<<<<<<<<<<PLEASE ONLY ORIGINAL GAMES>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Devil May Cry 4 is a pretty good game. Any MMORPG is a good idea, too. How about Age of Conan?

    Why don't you try RTS? Warcraft 3 is still pretty good and can be bought for pretty cheap, or Supreme Commander; they are great time waster...

    Red Alert is supposed to be awesome. I have been playing GRID and it is fun, but gets boring after a bit. I think I may try the new NFS...they are always a bit arcade style but seem to not be as boring. Even GTA would be a change of pace and in my opinion not a fps due to the task lists, etc.

    You don't like the Half-Life series? Might be too cool for you, as hot as Crysis gets <_<

    Totally forgot about HL and HL2...definitely more than your standard run and shoot. The game's puzzles can be fun and challenging without the need to obliterate everything in sight, but it is always an option. One of my all-time favorite gaming scenes is driving the air boat.

    Mass Effect. Mass Effect. Mass Effect. The third person shooter sequences are fairly smart and not really run-and-gun friendly, and the plot is outstanding.

    Try out Dead Space

    and if you like FPS and want a twist on it, try out Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway.... it is like a FPS with third person mechanics (cover system) and a very very basic RTS type of setup as far as setting up your troops and surveying the battleground

    Fallout 3 would serve as a nice transition between FPS and RPG.
