just some recommendations that I enjoyed
Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War (RTS, mostly online play)
Freedom Force (RPG with super heroes. Not sure if it's still in stores)
Baldur's Gate series (by all means the most complete RPG ever made)
Sam & Max season 1 (point 'n' click adventure, get one episode for free here: http://www.telltalegames.com/samandmax/lincolnmustdie (click where it says "Buy it! Your options:" and then the one where it says $0,00) )

Even if you don't own a joystick, spend $50 on a decent one and call it payment for the game(s): it's worth every penny.
Because Warcraft 3 is pretty excellent. The single player is really great and some parts play out much more like an adventure game.
Max Payne 2
Warcraft III
Unreal Tournament
Quake 3
Half-Life: Counter-Strike
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
Diablo 2
Warcraft 3: Fun RTS with RPG elements, a solid difficulty curve, I normally get discouraged with RTSes before finishing, but this one was challenging but not so much to drive me off and I actually finished
Baldur's Gate 2: It feels like I type this reccomendation every week, hah, anyhoo, if you like this type of game and RPG, you will go to bed with hardons thinking of this game, if you don't, you won't. I recommend BG2 because the plot of BG1 is nicely summarized and really not necessary to the enjoyment of BG2, and BG1, albeit a GOOD GAME, just so utterly pales in comparison to the scope and gameplay of 2. If you like 2, get 1. This was the first game I installed on my new gaming comp and I still play it. Favorite game ever for me, hands down.
Crysis: Haha just kidding
The Longest Journey: Excellent adventure game. Not just the best(and only reasonably decent)adventure game from the last few years, one of the best EVER
Orange Box, as you obviously know, is an excellent idea. So there's an RTS, FPSes, RPG, and adventure.
Yes I forgot about this, I could run it only barely on this POS but I gave up cause it ran like a fat kid in a foot race, be neat to play it well.
A bit older than what I'm after, 'cept for MP2, still play me some Diablo 2 though.
Level 82 Smiter Pally on US West softcore non-ladder.
Maybe in another five years though.
Can anybody recommend whether to play on either a PvE or PvP on WoW, I don't mind being hunted and killed some times as long as it's not too bad, so how bad is it in this?
That game is fantastic if you're into RTS, and it'll run on a 166 without any acceleration.
Updated, anybody know if I could play oblivion on this with a decent frame rate?
Also I am sun burned.
World PvP is one of the main reasons I loved the game. And if there was a time when you were getting tanked a lot while trying to quest, there are usually several options of places to level and at least one of which is usually deserted or if you see other people there they are doing the same thing you are and will not bother you.
Roll PvP. If you find you're not cut out for it, migrate your character or just make a new one.
You'll be jaded to minor inconveniences and able to relieve stress more readily.
Yes, with that video card you should be able to run Oblivion with no problems. You should know though...it's a little slow...and tedious. Keep in mind that I absolutely loved Morrowind, but THIS pretty much sums up my feelings on Oblivion.
Mafia. A near perfect single-player experience. Fantastic story, voice acting, gameplay, and a city that really feels like it's alive. Should be pretty damn cheap now, too.
