For Online Multiplayer-action, I suppose nothing beats Counterstrike or Battlefield 1942. (Perhaps Raven Shield, but I haven't tested that yet.)
I would -not- pay money for Hitman2 or C&C:Generals, and I certainly wouldn't take my chances on IGi2 before testing it.
I played C&C, and it was just dull. There still hasn't been a C&C clone that could match Red Alert(1).
Hitman2 was fun, but too short and lacked replayability.
Right now I'm playing good ol' Starcraft/Broodwar offline, single player, and I'm having a blast. Sometimes new games isn't the way to go, you probably have tons of classics in a cupboard somewhere that you've never considered reinstalling because the graphics are horribly outdated.. But if you have a Starcraft, Interstate76, Eye of the beholder2, Quest for glory3 or a Final fantasy VII, you should try one of them. There's no place like memory lane.
As for "newer" games, I'd reccomend Morrowind+Tribunal (expansion pack). I've finished both and am eagerly awaiting the second expansion. I could give you an URL to a review I wrote, but sadly, I didn't think ahead, and wrote it in Norwegian, so I doubt it'll be of any good to you.. but I can say that both MW is a great game and Tribunal is a fantastic expansion pack which adds a whole new chapter to the storyline(s).
MGS2: substance. I only have regular MGS2 on my PS2, so naturally I would want you to enjoy this game as much as I did.
If there is one game, I really think you ought to fall in love with, it's Silent Hill II. The Director's Cut-version is out, and there's no excuse for not picking up a copy. I only have the regular PS2-version, but the game is one of the best for the platform. (coming from a person who loves Final fantasy, resident evil and gran turismo)
I know there's a PC-port, and you can run the damn thing on a 1600*1200 resolution.. which is pretty neat compared to the graphics on the PS2 (which is now getting a tad dated. What can you do? It's a 3 year old machine)
