)America's Army 3 - On Steam
Command and Conquer
Tiberian Dawn
Tiberian Sun/Firestorm
Red Alert
Rockstar Games
GTA
Wild Metal
GTA2
I'll keep this list updated the best I can, if you have any additional games give us a shout and I'll put them up ASAP

TIBERIUM SUN AND FIRESTORM!!! I got them on Disc. Quite possibly the greatest C&C that ever came out.
Poor graphics for this day and age hold it back a bit, but it's got an amazing interface that's incredibly simple to use. The units are well balanced and there are plenty of maps that are even for messing around on. There's a good variety of units. The campaign is rock solid, the COD4 of RTS games so to speak. There's skirmish mode for when you get bored and you can play both NOD and GDI. You can't play the aliens just yet, sadly.
What can I say? Legendary game.
As for Red Alert, well that's a different story. A campaign that's impossible to do from mission one, easy on easy, a lack of balanced units and maps that are leaning towards one team rather than the other makes even the easiest of games almost impossible to do. Decent graphics, but of course it's an old game so won't be up to tops. I wouldn't go for it tbh.
Tiberium Dawn: Can't say much, never really played it, but it's still amazing from what I've played, if you can ignore graphical issues. The coding is solid

Might be worth putting those reviews in their own thread (like a C+C thread) :p
I've just added 3 new games, courtesy of Christophaaa and Rockstar Games

America's Army 3 looks playable. If only steam was available for Linux already ..
