Someone probably already asked this question before but what the hey. By mainstream games, I am talking about the games that we see and hear about all the time. (PC, PS3, X-Box 360, etc.)

I think some of it is fun while others are overrated.

For FPS shooters, I think Halo is very overrated when I tried it. I used to like Call of Duty but I think it got boring when I played S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. Stalker was more challenging since the gun ballistics were more like that of real-life. You can learn how to shoot a gun in that game.

I also like the Civilization series. Sim City is fun too.

Grand Theft Auto can be enjoyable but I still think it is overrated.

For RTS games, I like Starcraft 2. I used to like Command and Conquer more before EA Games ruined it. In addition, I like the Dawn of War series (based on the Warhammer 40K sci-fi story). Dawn of War 2 had an interesting way of combining RPG elements into a RTS game.

As for RPGs, I like Fallout and Arcanum. It is a shame they never released a sequel (or at least an expansion) for Arcanum.
