    I'd definitely recommend half-life 2 and related games (the episodes, portal, TF2). Not only are these great games in their own right, they are a platform for great mods.

    If you want to be a Real PC Gamer™ you've got to try Dwarf Fortress at least once. :P

    Also, be sure to get Mount&Blade. Another great game and platform for mods. And speaking of a platform for mods, Rome: Total War has some great mods, and Empire: Total War is likely to get some in the future.

    EDIT:
    If you're new to using a keyboard to do stuff, play single player shooters for a little while first, and start out with TF2 for multiplayer. TF2s really accessible for most people.

    Also. If you haven't played the following games, just go and get them:

    1- The Original Half-Life
    2- Diablo II
    3- CoD1, CoD2 (If you haven't played the second one on X360)
    4- Deus Ex
    5- Fallout 2, it's old and you won't like it. you can't get it either.
    6- And Hitman 2 would be a good deal.

    That depends... your not completely new to games, right? Just moving from console to PC? Peggle would be a hell of a good place to start, imo.

    Also, Deus Ex, some Hitman games, and Pyschonauts are free on GameTap.

    May be Command and Conquer The First Decade, got all the good old C&C on there. The Orange Box as well, 5 brilliant games for a very cheap price.

    • Try COUNTERSTRIKE
    • HITMAN SERIES
    • RISE OF NATIONS
    • AGE OF EMPIRES
    • FALLOUT 1+2 (its all about the originals)
    • PREY
    • Obviously COD4
    • COD5

    Well. Those are my favorites.
