Gears of War springs to mind for a great visual game. It has some issues 
though so do a little homework before you buy. Bioshock was simply awesome 
too. After UT, it's the best game-for-dollar-spent I've ever made. 
Hellgate:London was just ok. Witcher I installed, played 30 minutes then 
uninstalled. ET:Quake Wars is a pretty good game too, if you like things in 
the UT vein.
Skip Crysis for now unless you have one of those 
my-E-penis-is-bigger-than-yours Alienware dual 8800 card, water cooled 
5-large gaming rigs. That game is better played after the gear catches up. 
Kinda like Doom 3 when it first dropped. It took the next generation cards 
to fully see the 512MB texture package.

Ah! I've just asked for opinions of Crysis in my reply to you, below 
somewhere.
I read some very enthusiastic reviews of it on Amazon (UK). Looks like 
my kit won't handle it well then. Dammit :(

Lot's of folks are raving over TF2.  COD4 has been getting some good
reviews as well.

There's a few good games around atm that require a decent spec.

UT3 - It's still a good game, and it will be better when they fix the 
bugs and finish the bits that should have been finished before release.

Crysis. Lovely game - right up to the point where it goes all sci-fi and 
bad.

Call of Duty 4 - Lovely game with good single player campaign.

Gears of War  - Just ordered it. Hopefully the bugs aren't crippling.

I have a 128mb 7800Gt on a 2gb amd x2 4600. It plays Crysis fine at 
default settings. I'm not an eye-candy monkey so I don't ramp things up 
to max detail or get obsessive over FPS, I just play it and enjoy it :)

Ddin't I see there was a second Stalker to be released? Not sure if it's an 
add-on or standalone.
