Shall we play a game?

As I've previously noted, after attending PAX, I came to the conclusion that I'd like to play more games. And I could probably use a few extra excuses to lighten up and take a load off.

So, my lovely gamer friends, here's your chance to steer my gaming boat:
List 5 games that will be released this year, or have been released in the past 3 years (basically, since I stopped doing much gaming), and tell me why I should play them.

A few notes to guide your thinking:
1) I currently have Wii, PS2, and a decent Mac at my disposal. Might consider getting an XBox 360 if I'm properly convinced that there are reallygood games for it. (but I'd rather no if I don't have to)

2) No need to include music-based games like Rock Band or DDR, as I have already played, and will invariably continue to play them at parties or random social gatherings.

3) Games I have become the most addicted to in the past: WoW, The Sims/Sim-City, Civ, RPGs in general

4) I generally suck at first-person shooters, so if my ability to enjoy/beat the game is highly dependent on those skills, please make a note of it.

And... go! :)
