Need to catch up on games

[greatm31]

So I'm going to buy a brand-spankin'-new MBP when the new ones come out, and this is my first new computer in YEARS. There have been a ton of great games in the past few years, and I want to start catching up! What are some of the greats that I have missed? I really like RPGs and RTSs, and the first game I'll be buying is KOTOR. I do also like FPSs.

Thanks!

Age of Empires. Get AoK (bad graphics, but great gameplay) and AoE3 (incredible graphics, and a little bit less on the gameplay). The RTS's that redefined what an RTS is. And multiplayer over LAN in really fun.
