What game should I get?

I totally agree with this.....im worried about Diablo II....I prefer gameplay over graphics by ten thousand times

I found Dungeon Siege to be decent. It's not groundbreaking, but it's entertaining. (despite it's developer)

Return to Castle Wolfenstein : Enemy territory.
Hell of a cool game.  It's even rivalling the local counter strike dedicated server in popularity and it's only been on the network three daysish.  Very tactical too.

Dungeon Siege is good, but it gets a bit "samey."  Not to mention the annoyance of only having one donkey.     (I got rid of my second to make way for another archer...)

oh my god this game rocks [ET]. The only problem is there is onl 6 levels, but they offer a fair amount of gameplay. Unreal Tournament 2003 is great just like this game.

I was rather pissed at that hall near the end. The round room with all the special armor. It was all crap compared to what I already had on.
