Looking for the best war game. Any suggestions?

I have decided to treat myself this Christmas and buy a war game. I want one that will hold my interest and one that is very realistic. Graphics are very important. I do not want comic book looking soldiers. I am not interested in the ones that only show one looking down a gun barrel and shooting the enemy while traveling thru buildings. I would prefer something that makes me the general. I also prefer something from the Civil War to the present.

Money is not a problem, I will buy whatever I need. I know some are made for PC's and others one has to buy other equipment.

Any suggestions?

You asked on the Nintendo Wii section, so:

Nintendo Wii:
1. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
2. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare: Reflex
3. Call of Duty: Black Ops
4. Call of Duty 3
5. Medal of Honor: Heroes 2
6. Medal of Honor: Vanguard

Nintendo GameCube(older verticle Wiis can play GameCube)
1. Medal of Honor: Frontlines
1. Medal of Honor: European Assualt
2. Call of Duty 2: Big Red One
3. Medal of Honor: Rising Sun

You need GameCube Memory cards(251) and GameCube Controllers to play GameCube.
Also, if you want even better graphics for Wii, buy "Nyko HD-Link Component cables for Wii". It will look great on and HD TV. But you must also adjust the settings on your Wii to "EDTV or HDTV 480p" and "widescreen(16:9)". YouTube: "Wii Component Cables", and you'll see what I'm talking about.

Very good FPS "rail-shooter" graphics games for Wii are:
1. Dead Space: Extraction(best graphics on the wii)
2. Resident Evil: DarkSide Chronicles(2nd best graphics on the wii)

Very good FPS/TPS graphics games for Wii are:
James Bond: Golden Eye 007 Wii
Resident Evil 4 Wii (this is a TPS)
The Godfather: BlackHand Edition (TPS)
Scareface wii (TPS?)
The Conduit
Conduit 2
Metroid Prime: Trilogy
Metroid Prime: The Other M

FPS/TPS for GameCube:
Gun
Time Splitters
Time Splitters 2
Geist
Red Faction
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes
True Crime: Streets of LA
Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

*On some of these wii games, you can play with GameCube Controller, and Classic Controller Pro, in addition to the Wiimote&nunchuck. All GC games only use GC controllers.
