Now that the bad PUN is out of the way, lets get to business.

I will be recieving my PS3 back from repairs on the 24th. I bought it broken to save money (80 gb backwards compatible for a total of {ironically} $360 after repairs) and didn't buy games for it (couldn't read them). The question I have is what games I should buy to start out with. Before you go on about some random game I don't care about (Final Fantasy for example), let me inform you of what games I like.

I like most anything with driving or killing. Shooters and racing sims (beside GT5 prolouge, an extended demo for retail price) fit the bill there. Action based arcade racers are good every once and a while (Burnout Paradise for example).
I love destruction and destruciton physics. Car damage (preferably realistic), environmental destruction, decent gore (but not over the top), and ragdoll physics are always a plus (especially when they are easy to fling around and aren't stiff like in BIA: EIB).

I am big into RTS games, but I dislike the Command & Conquer styIe where you build up bases and have to learn build orders and all that non-sensical crap. Total War styIe is very much preferred (battle mode, not the management mode {unless that is an option with teh battle mode}). I dislike turn-based games.

I like a game with instant gratification with high replay value, but I would rather have replay value as long as the wait for gratification isn't too long (like in open-world RPG's where its only fun once you are a high level {WoW}).

I don't give a rats tail about how pretty it is. As long as you can tell what is going on and there aren't too many graphical glitches, I am happy (I'll happily take Doom 2 over Crysis anyday, plus my PC can actually run Doom 2). Graphics are a plus though.

Anyone who recommends obvious ones (MGS4, GTA4/Scarface rip-off {would go into detail to support my claim, but I'll save that for when GTA4 inevitably wins every award GS award}, Little Big Planet, etc) or those that are obviously against my criteria without a strong support to back their claim will be shot. Give me a good reason as to why I should get that instead of my early favorites (in order that I thought of them):
Armored Core 4/For Answer
Battlefield: Bad Company
MGS4 {Of bloody freakin' course}
Buronout Paradise
MK vs DC (most likley a rental first)
Orange Box
CoD WaW
CoD 4
Dynasty Warriors (not sure if I want 6 or Gundam)
Grid
Dirt
Rachet and Clank
and (when I finally cave) GTA4

If anyone recommends a J-RPG, I will rip off their arm and shove it up their d**k-hole while playing the theme to Team America (you are warned) {western ones are more tolerable}.

Thank you in advance for your help.
