Mount & Blade: Warband.
Addicting as fuck. In fact, I'm going to play it now.
Imagine a Medieval:Total War game combined with Oblivion. Middle Earth setting (no magic), Strategy/3PS/RPG. You customize a character, give him a backstory and stats, begin in a nation of your choice, recruit an army in which all soldiers are upgradable, find companions through your journey who are also upgradable, and more importantly...
You are on the fucking battlefield. Get yourself a lance and a shield and go destroy. There are many types of armor, weapons, etc which you can buy with the money you make either from your own nation or from being a merc working for the king. You control your troops as a general, and can eventually get cavalry, and siege weapons for castle-storming. Take castles, form a nation, amass a giant army and kill things. It's fucking awesome. There is an overhead map which is real-time but TotalWar style (think Sid Meirs pirates with not-childlike graphics.), you can enter and explore cities and villages and castles, visit taverns and recruit mercs and such, the world is your potato.
It's fucking awesome.
There are some FANTASTIC mods for it as well, so it has replay value up the kazoo.

Great PC game called Audio surf. You can find it on steam. You use your own music. Avoid the gray blocks

I also recommend the uncharted series, if you have a PS3.
The first two fallout games are great. Avoid fallout tactics. You can get them cheap on steam, or on good old games http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/fallout http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/fallout_2
Also if you loved oblivion I suggest playing morrowind.

This could be helpful. I'm playing #24 and really enjoying it.

I got this game based on this description and your are correct sir....its fucking awesome! At 1st i was like meh nothing to great but after you know what youre doing and you start to get into it it gets addicting. I do think the overland map is kind of weak but it is a game that draws you in. A bit of advice for new players: stay out of the middle eastern areas! The mounted bandits will kick you noob ass. Learned this the hard way.....
Just Cause 2. I played the first one and was on the fence about it. I picked up the second one on the cheap and have pumped 45 hours into the game so far. Its a gta clone that give you a parachute and grappling hook and lets you blow shit up. I can spend hours just base jumping off of buildings and mountains in the game. Plenty to do if you guys are fans of sandbox games.
