If you can still find Dungeon Keeper 2 (RTS), give it a whirl.

If you want a unique game you can try Amnesia, although its linear its one of the last remaining true horror games.

is the witcher really that good? The combat in games like risen or gothic get boring quick, demon's souls has amazing variation in the combat.

The Witcher is probably the best RPg to come out in the past 10 years. Risen is very good aswell.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is really good, and probably pretty close to exactly what you're looking for (an RPG/FPS that stands out from other games in its genre). If you don't mind going back in history a little bit, I'd also recommend Arx Fatalis (2002), which is a great first-person RPG with some truly novel concepts. The graphics actually hold up pretty well too. Plus, It's dirt cheap now.

I disagree. I would actually say it's the first of a new generation of true horror games. ;)

just personal taste. Bioware sort of recycled their rpg elements since KOTOR, it really feels like playing KOTOR again in first person with guns instead of lightsabers.

urban terror(counterstrike gunplay with a more balanced system, with quake movement and other features the most unique shooter in recent memory imo)

Achron( Meta time strategy game, its like starcraft with time-travel... truley revolutionary will come out in 2011 i think, but if you purchase you can get to play the alpha)

Age of chivalry (its like mount and blade, but first person and its a free mod for source)

Defrag

if need more say something :P
