Just so we can have a bit of an update for everyone suggesting certain games, here is a list of the ones everyone seems to be suggesting that I already own. Between Steam sales and a couple GOG sales, this is the list of games I really REALLY want to get to in the coming months:
Torchlight I & II
Strarcraft II
Dota 2
Hotline Miami
FTL
Fallout 3 & New Vegas
Sleepy Dogs
Shadow Run
Saints Row The Third: The Total Package
Alan Wake & New Nightmare
Amnesia
Binding of Issac & The expansion
Call Of Cthulhu
Company Of Heroes
Dungeons of Dredmor
Metro 2033
Legends of Grimrock
Portal 1 & 2
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl
Dawn of War ... all of them, I guess
Titan Quest & Immortal Throne
The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing (just bought that one)
Morrowind & Oblivion
System Shock 2
KOTOR
Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2
Icewindale I & II
Baldur's Gate I & II
Temple Of Elemental Evil
Planescape: Torment
The Witcher
This is a pretty good list so far, that I already own. I am looking to expand on this list.
@jouseldelka: I can barely hold my own in Torchlight II. The last BIG game I played on PC was in the era of Diablo and Warcraft 2. Yeah... you could say I'm a bit outta practice. I intend to get better, but I imagine it will take time.
The funny thing is, this excitement (for me) all grew out of me buying a 360 controller w/ dongle to play the few PC games I could play on my old rig. PC should be here first of next week. I'm totally stoked about this. With almost 200 games on steam and 40 games on GOG... I got some stuff to see.
@beachthunder: @jouseldelka: WOW! Thanks for all the suggestions, duders. I have started a list of some of the ones that immediately caught my eye. Must Have PC Titles. Several of the ones you, and others have listed, I have in my Steam/GOG library. I knew the day would come when I would have a PC to play games on, so I've been stockpiling them. I have both Portal titles, and played through both, as well as Hotline Miami. Oddly, I don't have ANY of the Half-Life titles. Those are probably, what, a nickle now?
Keep the suggestions come though, everyone. Also, if anyone cares to add me, my Steam name is the same there. Giant Bomb Community, is the BEST community.
Currently I am having a gaming rig, my first really, built. I haven't really ever played PC games exclusively, but have kinda kept my eye on them a bit. I have a Steam account and have 195 games (Thanks Steam Sales/Humble Bundles) but I need to know what should NOT be missed. I do have a few games that don't take a beefy PC to run (Torchlight II, FTL, Gunpoint, etc.) but this new PC should be able to run pretty much anything.
On my short list is Starcraft II, maybe Guild Wars II, and a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. game or two, but I don't know really what else I should definitely play.
Currently in my Steam account waiting to be played is Amnesia, Company of Heroes, and Legend Of Grimrock, and DOTA2 I guess. These I am looking forward to playing.
