10 Games you need to have sitting next to your PC?

ok, so i have an awesome computer.... and i just realised yesterday that it isn't exploited enough. So i want to know which games EVERY REAL GAMER needs to have for his computer.

games that i dont want listed because i already have them / dont want them / everyone will post it repeatedly.

 Starcraft

WoW

Half-Life

any of the battle-fields

any of the WH:40k

anything LOTR

so, your thoughts (p.s. im a graphics whore, so keep that in mind)

FEAR

Company of Heroes

Oblivion

Unreal Tournament

Far Cry

Supreme Commander

Warcraft 3/TFT

Doom 3

Trying to think of other good ones. 

FEAR - definitly a must have

Far Cry -  sick single player experience

STALKER - haven't played it but I've watched it being played, it looks awesome.

Warcraft 3+ FT - www.dotaallstars.com get this mod and play it, you might not like it but it's definitly worth looking into, the single player is amazing, long and involved, still a great game to play.

Dungeon Seige - oldy but goody if you like classic RPG's, I've spent months with this game and I wish I still had it.

Never Winter Nights - very fun game, oldy but goody, it's sequel does it no justice at all.

Call of Duty 1 and 2 plus expansions - great single player and multiplayer experience.  It gets you involved.

Diablo 2 - I didn't like it but people are still obssessed with it

I probaly missed alot but, thats really all I can think of. 

Call of Duty 1 & 2

Half Life 1 & 2

Stalker

Counter Strike Source

Fear and Fear Combat

Battlefield 2

Day of Defeat Source

Elder Scrolls 3- Morrowind

Elder Scrolls 4- Oblivion

Yeh that sums it up very nice set of games+

whenever i look at a hard disk i automatically knock 3gb off the total capacity because that'll be taken up by diablo 2, the original dooms and system shock 2, no matter what pc or where i go

couple more that would've been on my list are in the OP, so this is all i've got 

Starcraft

WC3

Oblivion

Any Gothic game.

Any Caesar building-serie game.

StarCraft

WarCraft III ROC  + FT
