Here are my current favorites, sure to add some before long when someone reminds me of a game.

ive been playing pc games since MS DOS games and im getting pretty bored of all the PC games available right now as well. Its the main reason I decided to explore consoles (I own an Xbox 360 and PS3).

I still play PC most of the time though but only games that I have been playing for a couple of years now like

- Medieval 2: Total War

- Knights of Honor

- Warcraft III: Frozen Throne (I only play the Custom Game Maps because they have maps on everything you could imagine like Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, RPG's, etc)

those are the only PC games which I play quite frequently these days. Looking forward to Aion, Diablo III and Starcraft II but other then that the future of PC games looks pretty bad.

Games look better on my PS3 and Xbox 360 then they do on my PC with an 8800GTS too for a fraction of upgrading my PC every 2-3 yrs

I really like Warcraft (I don't play world of), The Sims 2, and a few others. I don't really like to gunk up my computer with games, that's what consoles are specifically made for. In fact, most PC's you buy have just enough RAM to run the system, let alone play top notch graphic in-depth games.

I'm not a PC gamer by any means, but X-Com: UFO Defense gets an easy recommendation from me.

If you have any interest in adventure games, or just great stories in games, you have to try the Longest Journey (not Dreamfall). For a measly 100 points, you can play one of the best adventure games ever made. It's the only point and click that I have never gotten bored of.

If you're looking for an older shooter, you have to try Max Payne 1 and 2. For a cheap 100 points each, those are 2 of my favorite shooters of all time.

Possibly the greatest game of all time.  A close, near-clone (but with better graphics) of it can be found here:  Goozex Listing for UFO:  Extraterrestrials

Some favorite ones of mine:

Baldur's Gate 2: Shadows of Amn- great rpg about your character having special powers being a decendant from a god and then spirals to marvelous adventures while greatly developing your characters.

Baldur's Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal- expansion to BG2:SoA continuing your characters adventures

Fallout 1- great game that set high standards on skill and character development while being dreadful/dark and funny (has a good sized amount of stuff from real life that they altered with to get a luagh)

Fallout 2- built right on top of Fallout 1 and brought in some more dark comedy and immense level of interactivity within the game enviroment and NPC's
