    Can't really tell much about your taste in games from four titles. Action games only? Competitive? Like the emphasis on multiplayer? L4D is probably the multiplayer game for me right now, but you might try one of the recent Call of Duty titles, or The Orange Box if your in for something with a lot of bang for your buck.

    If your in the mood for something more intelligent, go for the "The Longest Journey + Dreamfall" pack on Steam. Bought it a little less than a week ago. The two games didn't last that long, but the stories held with in were extremely powerful, a great example of video games as the ultimate art form.

    I'm also obligated (as one of the few supporters on this site) to point you to Mount&Blade, which can now also be found on Steam. Kind of like Pirates! but on land and with an emphasis on realistic combat and timing.

    Are you new to PC gaming? There are a lot of older titles out there as well. In fact, for the PC there are simply a shit load of titles to choose from. The best of them might also not be the most visible. Don't be afraid to dig for real quality games.

    You should take a look at Dead Space. I haven't heard complains about the PC version, so it's probably as good as the videogame's one. It's really fun, though I don't know if you're into horror/shooter stuff. But if you are, then you'll definitely like it.

    Anything that released in the last three months.

    That's not me being an asshole or smart-ass like usual.  That's me saying that about 70% of the games released in the last three months have been spec-fucking-tacular, and trying to even narrow that list down is impossible in most means.
