Hmm... *rubs hands together* if you don't mind RTS' or strategy games in general I'm gonna have fun with this!
Second Vote for DoW, however definitely look into the DowXP mod for Dark Crusade.
Supcom's ok if you have a beast of a machine, I really like it's construction and capture system however they could have worked on it's mineral system a bit more, not to mention it's got a few balance issues that are corrected for all but the new race in forged alliance.
For Civs I'd stick with anything before 3 and Alpha Cen, after that they get a little too top heavy for a civ game.
For other RTSes, stick with AoE 2, the colonization age sucks for an AoE game, far better in a medieval setting.
Metal Fatigue is a fun one if you don't mind that it was made in '92 by a now defunct company, it's got some interesting twists on standard RTS games, like giant robots and the ability to research enemy robot parts to make your own, plus 3 fields of combat (atmosphere, ground, and underground) with their bonuses and negatives to focusing on. It's one of the few games that I wouldn't mind seeing a re-build on because it really could use some graphic and mechanical tweaks to bring it up to snuff.
I got a good laugh out of the new Sam & Max games so you might give them a spin if you're into point and click adventure games like that.
Swashbuckler for the PS2 isn't bad, it's got customizable ships and you can attack just about any ship in the sea, no matter what their allegiance is.
Savage 2 is looking promising for a beta, it's a pseudo RTS with FPP hero players who generally act as the units aside from the builders of the game, the commander's gotta be good at giving orders though and it's severely prone to rushing at this time, hopefully it's fixed before it comes outta beta.
Dominions 3 isn't bad for game mechanics, but it's graphics suck against a '90s perspective, let alone today's graphics, plus they want a lot of cash for it, however it's diversity is unmatched compared to other TBS games.
Only one of these qualifies as a FPP game, though if you give the others a fair try I'm sure you'll find something to like about them.

I did a media review for Savage 2 for another forum 
Looks promising, but I think it'll probably flop.
Civs and AoE have both been played to death by yours truly.
>:0 Hey now, I like all views in games. I am on a Fallout board after all, and Planescape Torment is tied with System Shock 2 as my all time favorite game. Spatial immersion does not directly correlate with fun factor.
In any case, those are going on my list.

xdarky, the game Wizards and Warriors was developed by the writer of the Wizardry series. It was a pretty low key game in 2000 I think.

It's appearance is similar to the Wizardry/Might and Magic games.

Just a warning, I don't know how good it is. The reviews were only so so and while I'd always wanted to play it, I never was able to find it 
.
But it's one of those ones I've always wanted to try.

you posts are increasingly becoming a string of memes...xdarkyrex said:
Overexposure lately, I've become marginally involved at one of the chans (not 4chan though, that place is like nails on a chalkboard to any well adjusted human being).
I do it largely for my own chuckles, but I'm sure a few other people who notice it get a little laugh, or don't.
So be it if you don't find the same things funny that I do
I do not include memes in lieu of other content though, only in addition.
In any case, I stopped playing might and magic 6 because I forgot how repetitive the combat was originally, but now I am playing might and magic 7 which is much much better in that regard.
I can't wait to get to mm8, because 7 is a lot better than 6.

Emperor be praised, for there are faithful here, that allow no mutants and preach the glory of the Imperium of Man!
xdarkyrex, heed to these pious words and seek redemption by acquiring these precious relics. Beware the aliens, the mutants, and the heretics there lies within:
* Warhammer 40.000: Dawn of War
* Winter Assault Expansion
* Dark Crusade Expansion
* Soulstorm Expansion (comes out in March 2008)
Thought for the day: for those who seek perfection there can be no rest this side of the grave.

If games generally wont last long enough or are too easy for you try ADOM if you allready havent.
Other games: settlers2, day of the tentacle, The longest journey (i havent tried this myself yet, but its getting a lot of praise generally) crimsom land, kotor1/2, jagged allience2, syndicate wars, supreme commander, vampire the masquerade, planescape torment.
Just few games that came to my mind that me and my friends have enjoyed during these past couple of months.

Syndicate wars looks like it would be a bit hard to get into, i beat planescape and vampire the masquerade, and I played crimsonland to death. And kotor 1/2 got beaten, I thought kotor 2 was terrible.
Never bothered to try jagged alliance games or day of the tentacle, and i havent heard of settlers or the longest journey.

For RTS, try Medieval 2 and its expansion pack. Great RTS game IMO. For a HMM-like game, try Lords of Magic.

Haven't played SW but the prequel Syndicate is awesome.xdarkyrex said:

Nah, I don't think I am going to finish Might and Magic 7 quite that fast, I forgot that many older games play slower, and its also a pretty big game.
I'm probably not any more than halfway through the game right now, and I have put quite some time into it already. I fuckin love this game, I may just play it again after this with a different party since the game plays very differently with different party setups.
