Singleplayer games needed

Hi

After playing Counterstrike online for 6 months I am now moving to a new town. I won't have internet for about 6 months so I need to stock up on some stand alone games.

I have not been in touch with whats out there for a few months. Could anyone recommend any games I should pick up to see me through my 6 months being offline?

Thanks
Haggis

JK:II (if you're into star wars)
Age of empires

Many people have said Battlefield 1942 is worth getting, too.

I love Battlefield 1942, but its much more a multiplayer game than single player. Also look at:
Splinter Cell
Vice City
Age of Mythology
Warcraft 3

Thanks for the suggestions

Thanks Chaps

Looks like I have my next 6 months mapped out. Thanks for the suggestions. Splinter Cell is already on its way.

I ran across Clive Barker's Undying for 10 bucks the other day too at CompUSA. Great game, if you like scary .

I wouldn't recommend BF1942 for single player, the bots are stupid at best, the game is designed for multiplayer only really.
