Good Games PC?

On a Shoestring:
League of Legends: slightly unforgiving community, but its fun and satisfying (and free)

X-com: is an old-school isometric Strategy game. Might not be for you, but its one of my favorite games, even though it was released before i was born. You can get it on steam for next to nothing.

Oblivion: Available for a low price bundled with all of its Expansions and i think some of its DLC. This needs no introduction: Get your RPG on in preparation for Skyrim!


Big Releases/non-budget games:
Shogun 2 Total war: Superb strategy game. Just buy it. Now.

The Witcher 2: Not for me personally, but I've heard alot of great things about it, so it must be doing something right.

World of Warcraft: Comes at a cost (£9 per month + your soul), but as a game, its brilliant. Entertaining quests that have come a long way from when the game was released and a wealth of endgame content. Has Balance issues but is still good! Also: I believe the first 20 levels are now free. Not sure if this is true. If you are willing to put the time in, you will make a lot of friends through raiding (i know i did and i don't care that they aren't "IRL" friends).

Civilisation 4: Inifinitely better than Civ 5 (in my most humble of opinions) with more depth. You could spend hours on this.

Finally: Good call with Audiosurf. Its a really amazing game.

Oh and i forgot Max Payne 2. It is Godlike. Slo-mo diving through the air firing guns has never been so fun and affordable

I'd suggest Age of Empires 3, but then again I have been on a nostalgia trip for it recently.

Based on the games you picked out it seems like you enjoy FPS games. So I'd suggest Crysis 1 (not 2, unless you REALLY liked 1), STALKER: Call of Pripyat (with the Complete pack), Cryostasis, Metro 2033, and since you picked Amnesia, I'd say also get the first 2 Penumbra games.

IMO, I wouldn't go play those really old games a lot of people are suggesting unless you need a really cheap game or have run out of games to play... there's so many good modern games to play, classics are usually much better remembered than replayed lol. At least in my experience. Everytime I try playing something I used to love it's like... wtf? lol.

There are 100's!

I glanced at my collection and picked the first on I saw; Sins of a Solar Empire. RTS, in Space!

Beathazard
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines ((I know this was already said but the game is awesome))
Dino-D day
The first F.E.A.R
Guardians of Graxia
Jamestown ((Ridiculously awesome if you have some friends around.))
Killing Floor ((Sorry if it was already mentioned its just dumb fun))
Magicka ((If you can get over the bugs its awesome.))
Monday Night Combat ((Actually kinda fun once you grasp the concept.))
Terraria
Titan Quest ((Like Dungeon siege but greek!))
Zeno Clash ((A very interesting if odd game that uses hand to hand combat and the source engine...Worth a look))

That's about all I can think of at the moment.

Can't really add any to those already mentioned, but I really want to add my recommendation for Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. It's an amazing game that often gets overlooked. It should be pointed out that it absolutely needs to be patched though, preferable with all of the official and unofficial patches. People always forget to mention that, but without patches it's a horrible, broken mess.
