Recommend games please?

I've just ordered a new PC and it should arrive in a few days.

There's a handful of games I'm looking forward to playing on it, but only a handful because I've mostly ignored PC game releases for the last few years (on account of my system being nowhere near good enough to play them). So, in an effort to find out what I've been missing out on, I've been looking at various GOTY awards... but from what I've seen it seems like these are get handed out to crappy console ports these days!? COD4 for best PC shooter? Surely not. GTA IV for PC game of the year? Give me a break. How come games like Total War are not even runners up in these lists?

So anyway, currently on my "to buy" list I have...
Empire: Total War (no brainer)
Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising (if it sounds good in the reviews)
Crysis (maybe... well, probably... alright definitely... I'm a graphics whore)

I'm also looking forward to Diablo III and Silent Hunter 5 but apart from that I'm clueless as to what is out and what is coming out soon. I'd like to hear recommendations from you PC gamers! What's good? What's not? What gems did I miss in the last 3-4 years?
