Good FPS and RTS out there?

Looking to buy a new FPS or RTS in the near future. Any good ones available?

My Criteria=Interesting, New, Revolutionary, NR(Not Retarded, ex. Empire Earth III), Graphics.

Far Cry 2?? You might enjoy it due to:

A. It IS an interesting game.

B. It's new (sort of)!! :D

C. The map maker is absolutely awesome.

D. I highly doubt it's retarded. A lot of people seem to like it.

E. The graphics are beautiful, hands down.

F. Long story with a sandbox type of gameplay, so you can do what you want.

G. Weapons degrade!

I think that's all I've got for that game, but do realize I HAVE NOT PLAYED IT BUT AM GOING OFF WHAT MY FRIENDS AND OTHERS ARE SAYING. Try renting it before you buy it

Its hard as you have set quite a task, a new game that is unique and has new ideas etc. Alot of games now are just repeats of old games with a bit of polish (whether you like it or not, I wont debate this as each to their own I say, I like new games but they arent revolutionary).

Maybe try Bioshock (top story and graphics), Half Life 2 (looks good even though its a few years old, good story, interesting mechanics like gravity gun, puzzels) but other than that Crysis and Far Cry 2 are probably the only decent FPS games of this year on PC so far (Left 4 Dead is third person isnt it?) but it should be good as long as you can get online, I cant see that game being very good in single player as its alot of co-op.
