Reality

FPS: BF2, Half-Life 2

RTS: Starcraft (still, and soon #2), Company of Heroes

RPG: Diablo 2 LoD :D jk.... Oblivion....... is hugely overshadowed by STALKER. Even though it's even more of an FPS, it's superior enough as a game in terms of graphics, gameplay, and realism (though not engine optimization) to BE an RPGFPS

I don't know if it counts because its still in beta, but Team Fortress 2 topped every tag team multiplayer FPS I've ever played after a good five minutes. It isn't a very well-rounded package as all of the games included in it are FPS's, but for anyone who's into shooting other people on the PC for the first time I find little reason not to recommend the Orange Box, even if only one of its games is available at the moment. It's only $45 through Steam andone of its five games is already up (TF2's beta is less buggy than most games are after patchwork). If you don't own it already, the as-of-yet entire Half-Life 2 series is on it--this is between16 and 24hours of practically cinematic first-person action;my time estimate is very subjective to your style of play and mine is a very thorough one. There are games with more satisfying thrills and combat, but taken as a whole, Valve has made a very solid set of games so far. Topping this crazy package off is Portal, which is like an acidified version of Super Mario with floating point shaders and motion blur. It will please; I am sure.

Though it stretches into boundaries that are relatively young in terms of its gameplay, Dawn of War's style is undoubtedly the future of pseudotactical RTS. It is already outclassed in many ways by Relic's third masterpiece Company of Heroes--a game whose aesthetics are second to nothing in the genre--but Dawn of War is more approachable and (to avoid being flamed too badly forthat last crack) has more variety. My opinion aside, both DoW and CoH have a place at the top of the RTS scene that is very difficult to refute. Note: if you do decide to pick up Dawn of War - Dark Crusade, please do humanity a favor and don't play as the Necrons. A little variety goes a long way (you'll know what I mean if you play online).

I recommend either Rome or Medieval II: Total War on the condition that you have many hours to burn. The Total War series has a strangehold on the meaning of epic but that means, unfortunately, that it is very time-consuming.The question of whichone you pick is akinto picking a colorfor your car; the two games have strengths and weaknesses and they both provide an identical experience on a basic level. They are both very entertaining if you are into this sort of thing.

I won't speak for the RPG genre as I have been falling behind in that area recently.

There literaly hundreds of more good quality games I could mention... and the list goes on!

I hate how people keep listing Oblivion for RPG, even though it's not even a good RPG (let alone the best?). Morrowind is a much better PC game. GodLovesDead

And I hate how people complain about it like we respect their opinion or that it will in any way change our answer.

My vote is Diablo 2..that game will be playable forever with7 character classes and all of its randomly generated levels and loot. I still have never beaten that game or seen the expansion levels since its releaseLand-0-Funk

Makes sense since its the highest rated game on GS.

What sort of crazy a** question is this? I suggest you go the PC section-->Top Games-->All Time, and from there go with what you like.

Diablo is GS highest rated PC game. NOT Diablo 2.
