Looking for a good game

[Builder]

I am looking for a good first person shooter or a RTS that isnt to expensive. Ive played CS:S alot this summer and I need a game with more vehicles and stuff. Any ideas?

FPS: Far Cry. $9.99 on Steam.
RTS: Starcraft. Don't know how much but a lot of people say it's the best thing ever and if you don't have it you hate it.

RTS: Supreme Commander is so good, it has actually ruined my experiences with other RTS games.

For instance, I was playing Age of Empires 3 the other day and I got really annoyed that you can't even do simple things like set which way a unit faces for move orders, or set cannons to be defensive.

Supreme Commander doesn't have as many different unit types as some RTS games, but the depth of the controls and the well balanced nature of the game make it one of the best RTS games ever made.

Starcraft-You can get both the original, and the Brood War Expansion for $20 at most stores.

if you like shooters with vehicles, any of the battlefields are great.

RTS, get Age of empires 2 (NOT 3! it sucks)
or some of the old CnC games

There is actually an interesting pattern between RTS's and their 3rd installments.

Age of Empires 3 was received lukewarmly by the press and poorly by the fans
Empire Earth 3 was eaten alive by the press (3.5/10 on gamespot) and was despised by the fans of the series.
Command and Conquer 3 was also received lukewarmly by the press and many fans weren't happy.

I loved the first Empire Earth game, thought "meh" of the second entry and thank god I read some reviews and tried the demo first before buying the 3rd edition. Perhaps the worst sequel in a game series ever.

They forgeted up everything from the graphical design and performance to the AI pathfinding and unit formations.

Dude, i have AoE 2 and it ROCKS, you get to build a town/village/castle and attack/ dfend from the enemy

Edit: i have supreme comander and its a pretty good game too, i like the fact that its based in the future age...
