Got my first WS...must play games?

I saw the lists of compatibility and whatnot, which are great, but what are some of the really "oh wow" games to play on WS? I have HL2, which is awesome, and WoW which is decent. What else should I look into, particularly "older" games that I can get on the cheap?

Did you look at the "list of games by grade" page?

Yeah, but I'm looking more for opinion here. Not so much which ones take advantage of the WS so much as the ones people personally see as "must plays" on WS.

I really, really like Total Annihilation in WS.

Oblivion. That game is DESIGNED for widescreen displays. To me, the view feels a little cramped on a non-WS screen when holding a sword and torch compared to a widescreen display. It really does seem to make a difference once you get the larger view space.

Older games? How old? You can get the original Deus Ex game to run in WS if you want, same as a lot of Unreal games.

Red Alert 2

Ive been playing a lot of RA2 lately, it looks so much better in widescreen, its so nice to be able to see a lot more of the map! :)

2 games that i'm enjoying over again in since getting my WS monitor on Saturday are Condemned and Riddick EFBB.
Both excellent in WS.

Thanks all, I'm really enjoying myself so far. I've been playing HL2, Deus Ex, WoW, and downloading demos like crazy. I also just got Far Cry and I'm installing it as we speak. :)
