I like how 3 people have made recommendations, one person has called everyone sheeple, and the rest are ragging on the OP's taste in games.

Welcome to The Escapist mate.
I made the list! Also, I said former sheeple, mainly.
Wait, wait, wait. List? Did I miss something?

Edit: Oh, I get it. Sorry. I do like the term "sheeple". It reminds me of my conspiracy nut days.

Stuntman: Ignition. It is hands down, one of the finest driving games I have ever played. It's hard, frustrating and fairly ugly, but it plays like a dream and is a total blast with friends.

Also, most games I've seen mentioned in this thread are fairly popular. Try digging a bit deeper.

Christ, I haven't recommended any games. Ive been too busy being a highminded ****.

Shatter: Brilliant little Breakout-style game. It has a neat suck and blow mechanic. Also, the only good thing to come out of my country in the last 5 years.

Audiosurf: Surprisingly fun game. It makes a track based on an mp3 file and you surf it, getting points and all that good stuff. I find its best played coop.

anc[is]LOL is a DOTA clone, I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole. There are more than enough ways to get shouted at and kicked from games.
hehe, you have a solid point, however I just ignore the flamers, it's what the ignore function is there for. ^^

OT:

The Day Z mod for Arma II + Arma II Operation Arrowhead is a complete blast! It's in early Alpha but it still works well, read up on it. If you have the ARMA II games, get that mod NOW!

I second League of Legends, despite it's community being shit the gameplay is fun, with a new champion being brought out every 3/4 weeks.

Just got back after trying out UnEpic. Nice fun game, I like that the quests are really difficult to do. You only level up about once an hour, and it usually takes longer than that.

I got to a certain point where I realized that my life was constantly draining. Am I poisoned? No. Is my frost elemental pet hurting me with some negative aura thing to keep it from being overpowered (because it IS pretty OP). No, because I just sent it away.

Hmmm...

I thought maybe the game was bugged, until I checked my inventory. After dinking around in some sewers, apparently some leeches found their way into my inventory, making me lose life over time. Very creative game. Also, very funny. There's a reference to another game every 5 minutes. You have a spirit that is stuck inside of you that is really pissed off. You decide to call him Zeratul from Starcraft. Upon killing your first snake, he goes, "Snake? SNAKE? SNAAAAAAAKE!"
