Jagged Alliance 3D -> The new JA game, gonna be a blast.
Features:
- highly interactive environment (almost everything is destructible)
- a lot of realistic weapons
- Realistic physics of materials and ballistics. For example, you will be able to shoot through a wall.

That reminds me, I have to see if I can get my hands on Silent Storm. Same genre, did the same thing, and IIRC no one really had much to complain besides the plot.
I can't recommend Silent Storm. Being a huge fan of JA and the XCom series I bought it instantly after it's release... and stopped playing after the first few missions. Aside from the strange plot, the game itself plays rather slow, both due to game play and game performance. There are some true highlights, one being the physics engine. You can damage most objects in a very detailed way. I once had a machine gunner defending the entrance of a house against the enemy. His shots ripped small parts out of the walls surrounding the door, allowing him to see enemies he did not see before shooting. However, imho those highlights do not outweight the overall boredom of the game
