alright for some outdated but aweome games I can recomend a few.. Dungeon siege II not 3 some how it is just way better. also Global Agenda its an MMO RPG and is now free on steam. I tend to play RPG games when im stressed. so also Dragon Age 1 and origins.. for other games FPS "COD" puzzle games well there is "Ninja" it is flash game tremedously annoying but kind of addictive. New games well I think a lot of recent games have kind of failed in a way.. just because they try to hard to RPG's different.. but we are gammers people we wont the same games with better graphics!!!!.. but the new Guild Wars looks pretty cool but still a few months away
Why not get one of Bethesda's games? Fallout 3 or Oblivion will give you a huge amount of play time, and replayability and are super cheap on steam. Just mod oblivion first because the game is so much better with it! (at least get Oscura's Oblivion Overhaul and a ui mod...because the ui is console style and sucks)
Out now/Old Skool:
BF Bad Company 2
Deus Ex 1 (goty)
Try a sports game if you like em. Nice break. I like NBA2k11
World of Tanks (it's free)
Anything Fallout
The Witchers are good
Dragon Age 1 (not 2 from what I hear)
Coming Soon:
Deus Ex Rev - played it @ E3 and it looks awesome
Battlefield 3
D3
SWTOR (can't believe no one said this)
Try Urban Terror, it's a free FPS that was originally a mod for Q3 but now it's a standalone game that (although lacking in the graphics aspect) is amazingly fun.
Persoanlly when I'm too tired to play I prefer to go offline and get one of my old favourite RPGs out. I actually love a game called Exile 3 from my childhood, really great RPG if you don't mind a really clunky game with alot of great text dialogue :P. It's like 3MB to download or something :P.
I actually just restarted playing Morrowwind the greatest RPG of all time :P. Of course what I like in an RPG is great atmosphere and lots and lots of text dialogue so its just like reading a book but with special effects.
Online games: definitely just play something in the COD series or some other FPS very little thought needed :P.
P.S. If none of these suggestions are something you like you should really just go give your life up and play wow :P

Oooooo, offline RPG's
I like the Baldur's Gate series, and the KOTOR's (long live Bioware).
Also XCOM:Enemy Unknown (AKA UFO). got multiple votes of Game of the Century by various magazines not long ago. I bought all the XCOM games as a pack for $2- off Steam last year.
Nobody here but one has said anything about the best game going round classic old Cod either 4 or 6 and certaintly diablo 3 when it comes out
Also, a great game is Duty calls cheap on steam a good 30 mins of hilarious old fun xD
Try the age of empires series I reckon its the best imo
Loved the AOE series!
And I would sometimes play those old Red Alerts and C&C series. Still play Tiberium Sun once in a while xD
Oh yeah and as Halstrom said, KOTOR! Long live Bioware haha
From my brief glimpse, I see no one has mentioned the greatest game of all time...
The Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time.
Puzzle Adventure. Greatest game to have ever been created.
Definitely a great game, but I wouldn't recommend replaying games from that generation (read: classic games) that are filled with huge amounts of nostalgic goodness... because you may realise that they don't live up to the picture your nostalgia has painted of them...
Talking from experience here, booted up my SNES the other day to mess around on some old classics... and yeah, wasn't pretty.
