As far as the second goes, I've been really getting into BlazBlue lately. I'm not big on 2D fighting games, mostly because I'm absolutely terrible at the combos and cancels and convoluted confusing crap and I miss the simplicity of Dragonball Z Budokai 3. But the story of BlazBlue is very compelling and the characters are highly amusing, which makes it a very enjoyable experience.
Did you ever try Persona 4 Arena? The main series is JRPGs, but Arena's a fighting game of it that came out recently. That'd be my recommendation, unless you've already played it. I've enjoyed it so far, despite the fact that I cannot play these types of games well.
And for the last, probably Mario Galaxy. I've never been a huge fan of Mario, having grown up on Sonic instead, but I acknowledge that they're generally very well-made games, and there's something compelling about Galaxy in particular that makes it seem more interesting than 64 or Sunshine. But I've never played it. Go figure.
Oh, yep. If the first Galaxy is a bit too easy for you when you start, go play Galaxy 2. Such fun Mario goodiness.

whatever you call games like lol or dota 2
I wanted to get into those because i really liked the original dota but the amount of items and heroes and the supposedly hostile environments makes me really not want to invest dozens of hours of not having fun. I think I even own dota 2 on steam but I still can't be bothered to install it.
MOBA. Or Massively Online Battle Arena. For DOTA (2; I've never played the first), I recommend you take your time learning the heroes, practice against bots, and play with your friends. It will take some time to learn (give it 1 or 2 matches), but it's really fun once you understand what's going on.
I haven't interacted with the community yet, but from what I heard, you'll be fine as long as you don't run off doing something stupid.
OT- I've never played a true Hack and Slash game. I'm afraid of picking up Bayonetta as I'll be ridiculed to heaven for it, and I'm not interested in showing the people around me that I may be insane by playing God of War.
Rogue-likes also deserve a mention. I've tried Nethack, but for some reason I uninstalled it. I did like the experience and the rather witty ways the game interacts with you.
And... Dwarf Fortress. People have called it a Minecraft that has a steep learning curve and ASCII graphics that somehow manages to be more addicting that Minecraft. That is, if you can understand the game and what it's telling you.
Just a pity I'm shit at them. I find Secret of Monkey Island hard...and I'm told it's not difficult at all...
