Without question, get The Orange Box, but nowadays that goes without saying.

 

[FalloutJack]

Starship Titanic. Yes, I mean get in a classic, funny, innovative Douglas Adams game.

You can thank me later.

Got it on the xbox.

I'll go look at it now

 

[WrongSprite]

Morrowind and Blitzkrieg (the first one) if you like old games.

Oblivion and Company of Heroes if you don't.

 

[A Pious Cultist]

Left4Dead / Left4Dead 2 for some enjoyable zombie killing. Personally I'd skip on CSS unless you think you'll enjoy the map De_Dust2 and ONLY that map (probably 90% of the servers run only that map or a variant of it).

 

[KiKiweaky]

TOTAL WARRRZZZZ, seriously though they are mint

 

[wolf thing]

stalker shadow of chernobyl, F.E.A.R, supreme commander, crysis, fallout(1,2 or 3), tribes venganse, world of goo

these are just afew of my faverit games

 

[Wintermoot]

Half-Life 1

 

[Poomanchu745]

L4D games are both really good. Dragon Age: Origins is far superior on the PC.
Portal and Half Life 2 are both awesome.
If you want something old school then you can get Diablo 2 for real cheap.

Two words: Deus Ex. The first one; the second one is inferior, but I've heard it's still a great game.

The Half-Life series is excellent as well, as are the two L4D games, Counter-Strike Source (Beware; you will get your ass handed to you at first.), Team Fortress 2, etc. Oh, and Portal, with all its delicious black humor.

The Crysis games are also pretty fun as long as you can run them at a decent frame-rate; for the best experience, turn everything to the max if you can.

Bioshock is also a damn nice game on the PC, and Bioshock 2 seeks to be even better.

The first two fallout games are worth checking out, too, as old as they are; the same for Fallout 3, or maybe some The Elder Scrolls game; Morrowind and Oblivion, specifically.

The F.E.A.R. series is worth checking out too, though there are better things.

Oh, the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games are pretty damn good, too. I've never completed Chernobyl yet, myself, though it is actually pretty immerse, I have to say. Just make sure to install all those patches first.

Also, if you're going to get MW2 and haven't checked out the origonal, get CoD4 for the PC, too.

 

[Kron_the_mad wants to be deleted]

a bit old now but the thif series is a good fps (first person sneaker) and well designed with a decent story and atmosphere

 

[Quantom Quak]

Definitely the orange box. I would also recommend Assassin's Creed 2. The steam client has a large variety, too.

 

[King CoN]

F.E.A.R 2 is good I'd recommend that.

AvP is awesome too, old but still scary as fuck!

 

[TelHybrid]

Sod the orange box. Get the source complete pack. It costs a lot but it's so worth it.

Also Call of Duty 4 if you want a real PC call of duty game that's not heavily downgraded.

Mass Effect is another good one. Bioshock, Battlefield 2, UT2004...
