What kinda games do you like? Rpgs? Shooters? Strategy? Give us an idea, and you won't get flooded with a million games ^_^
I'll give you a list of what I've been playing and think is good:
Single-Player:
Assassin's Creed 2: Think Prince of Persia + Splinter Cell + Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It's an amazing game, and they just removed 90% of the bad DRM.
Just Cause 2: Get this because it has some of the best graphics on PC right now. It looks amazing on my new gaming PC. You'll really appreciate your investment in a gaming PC when you see the beaches, or snow covered mountains as you glide across them with your parachute. And while it's a pretty average game overall, it has its fun moments.
Audiosurf: If you like music at all, get this. It's a very fun way to listen to it.
Fallout: New Vegas: Want a game that will take up hundreds of hours of your life? This will do it. I doubt I'll ever complete over 50% of it, it's so gigantic.
Europa Universalis III: A solid RTS, where you command an entire country versus other countries from the 1400s to the 1800s. Multi-player is practically nonexistent unless you organize it on the Paradox forums.
Mafia II: Ever wanted to live in the 1940s and 1950s as a mobster? This game creates a great world for you to do just that. Be warned that it's a story-based game. Yes, there is an open world. But it's a linear game set in a non-linear world, something that most idiot "professional" game reviewers didn't see. They just saw an open world and decided, "HERP DERP IT MUST BE SANDBOX OR ELSE!"
Multi-player:
Starcraft II: It's a fun multi-player game with friends. The custom games are always good. The single-player was ok, too, with fun missions but the cheesiest cut scenes and story I have ever seen in a game.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2: A fun FPS, with larger maps than CoD. Of course, you can (and I do) use shotguns and close range weapons. Plus, the buildings blow up. Dodge the single-player on this one unless you have lots of spare time.
Call of Duty: Black Ops: Forget the haters. If you like FPS games at all, you should love this game's multi-player. Tons of customization, an RPG style system of leveling, and constant close-range combat. Dodge the single-player in this as well, because it's very average. And I found the first level to be plain offensive.
Counterstrike: Source: Hey, it's fun if you only have couple quick minutes to kill. Hop on a mini-game server, or try Jailbreak.

Why did you buy a gaming PC with no games in mind?
Still, I'll go ahead with the Obligatory Team Fortress 2 and Bethesda games.

This man speaks the truth ^^ all good games listed there. I believe that AC2 is also on sale on steam now.Sturmdolch said:
Battlefield BC2 is a steal at the $20 price point and the Vietnam expansion is $15 well spent IMO and extends the game by another 5 maps.
If you're looking for a good single player experience I'd also recommend Borderlands (the GOTY with all DLC is about $50, but you can get the vanilla game for $20).
Civilization V is a good one. It's next on my list, but I'm waiting to see if the price will drop soon before I invest.
Good luck, and you're welcome!zarix2311 said:Thank's!that's a really helpful list I agree completely except for the fallout New Vegas thing, I think I can beat it I got 100% on Fallout 3 so we'll see. Still thanks!
Oh, I forgot one. Minecraft! I'm sure you've heard about it, and if you're interested in playing it, check out the Escapecraft server. [http://www.escapecraft.net] It's a great community to start playing in.
Starcraft 1 and 2, rome and medieval 2 total war, witcher, dragon age, Command and Conquer, fallout 1, 2, 3, Civilization 5.
Gotta agree with all these people saying Minecraft.
If you like horror games, I'd also recommend Amnesia: The Dark Descent.
As for RTS games, I don't think you can go wrong with Starcraft 2.
Team Fortress 2, Killing Floor, and Monday Night Combat are some decent FPS games.
For RPG's, I'd stick with Bethedesa.

Company of Heroes. Best RTS Game I've ever played (and trust me, I've played a lot of them).
I also recommend Dawn of Discovery (known was ANNO 1404 outside of North America). It's a city builder of sorts, but is very complex and nice.
For some just random exclusives:
Torchlight
Dark Messiah Might and Magic
The Witcher
Minecraft
Civilization IV and/or V
Half-Life series

Blizzard games
Bethesda games
If steam has an indie sale games like
Audiosurf & Amnesia
and I'll second CivIV / V

Yes, and with the mods that exist for this game it doesn't look nearly as dated as you might expect.tanis1lionheart said:
OT: Deus Ex, System Shock 1/2, Civ V, all of the PC Fallout games, Zombie Driver...
I don't have much modern on this list because I play all the graphics intensive stuff on my console -- MacBooks are crap for gaming.
