OK.. got meself a spanking new pc and looking to start up my PC games collection.

Where the hell do I begin?

Dont mind the genre - anything except adventure games where you have to build up your mantra or cast spells or any of that crap.

I shall listen, think, then buy.

If you're looking for a decent RPG to play, you could try and track-down the 2 Little Big Adventure (LBA) games, which have been around for quite some time, now.

If you can find them, they're brilliant.

Mafia - Grand Theft Auto in prohibition-era New York
Vietcong - Best FPS of recent months, all bugs ironed out for UK release
Operation Flashpoint - Soldier "sim", horribly realistic but fantastic
Warcraft III - Build up loads of orcs, smash the ass off elves
Jedi Knight II - Good once you get the lightsaber
IL2 - Good flight-combat sim with not too much sim

My new computer is supposed to be arriving today. Then I'll be able to play Battlefield. Yay!
Is the road to rome any good? And is there a sequel set in Vietnam coming out?

first of all may i recommend jedi knight 2 : jedi outcast. light-sabre-tastic.

war strategy games don't come much better than westwoods red alert series, or the newer generals. another must (for me anyway)

then you want a decent shooter, may I recommend unreal tournament 2003.

and of course vice city is a compulsory purchase
