Minecraft even though its not a shooter. Far cry 3 has already been mentioned. Fallout new vegas is pretty fun also.

I'd add Riddick: Butcher Bay and Dark Athenia... Some of the worlds and designs are great, and the stealth approach to the combat slows the pace down so you can experience it more... Being in the prisons is particularily immersive!
Hehe nice to see S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series mentioned, cheers fellas!
Now for my own input, I agree with Mr. Elementary here, The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay and Assault on Dark Athena (considering the latter release includes both games and the first with updated graphics and gameplay to match the second, feels like an ongoing game between the two instead of separate entries, great series with fantastic voice work), aside from that I'd also recommend Penumbra: Black Plague and Overture, Brothers in Arms, Painkiller (yes it's imnersive with fantastic atmosphere to complement the hectic gameplay), Unreal and my own personal favorite alongside S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (seriously no mention of it in a thread about immersive first person games... shame, right get the unofficial patch for it).
Have fun mate!

I was going to suggest Skyrim but you've already mentioned that one. Might want to give Alan Wake a try, if you haven't already.
The first games that come to mind would be not so much the immersive ones as it would be the likes of Halo and just games which are fun to play.
Good First person games which get you involved..Have you played Slender? Dishonored is quite good if not a bit short for this as well.

The Metroid Prime games are some of the most immersive games I can think of personally. The environments are well made and fun to explore. Enemies are everywhere yet they don't break the flow of the game. It can go from dark to bright visually and everything in between just by going through several different rooms. Controls work so well with the gameplay so the game never feels unfair, or like it's trying to cheat you in some way.
