I've been jumping between EQ2 and WOW for the past 2 or so years and I keep getting bored with each after being back for a while. I used to play games like counterstrike and quake 3, but even those are only good for an hour before I am looking for something else to do. I'm currently trying NWN2, but all it's doing is making me miss EQ2. Is there something out there besides Guild Wars and other free MMO's that is worth checking out?

If you are ok with a single player experience - Oblivion would be a great option.

If you want something more action orientated, Bioshock will keep you busy for a while.

Interested in RTS at all? I just started playing World in Conflict, and so far I've liked it a lot.

I agree with what Kutter had to say. Also, try the Hellgate demo; I equate it to a mix between WoW, Diablo, and a FPS. You also might wanna try some other FPS games. I'd recomment the Orange Box for that. It got me hooked on Halflife and Team Fortress. Especially Team Fortress, very accessible and fun.

Orange Box. All FPS basically, but there's something for everyone.

there are only two things you need to buy that will keep you busy until crysis comes out (Crysis will dominate any game!!!)

1.) The Orange Box: its got Half-Life 2, EP1, and EP2... all three of those are amazing and the story will keep you glued. Also you get Team Fortress 2... It's a really awesome multiplayer game that doesnt get old very fast. The last thing you get is Portal... This is a very unique game that's very hard to explain, you pretty much gotta play it to understand how awesome (and funny) it is. THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!!!!

2.) Supreme Commander: this game is beyond awesome!!!!!! it is beyond epic with its massive scale! chaotic battles over large maps keeps you changing you stradegies and developing new ones as the war goes on. the single player portion is kinda slow, but playing custom games against the AI is really fun when you go against 3 or 4 of them on the hardest difficulty (rather the AI isnt really good or i am really good). if you get sick of playing the AI you can play online. also, this game is expected to be modded like Total Annihilation... which means it will be fresh for many many many years

When you get done playing those, buy Crysis... you'll never wanna look at another MMO ever again!!!!
