That really depends on your style. Personally, I really, really, really enjoyed slashers.
But I'll just give you top 5s of most genres.
BEAT 'EM UPS:
1. Devil May Cry 3/4: Devil May Cry 3 and 4 have absolutely incredible gameplay, consisting of the fastest swordplay I've seen since... Final Fight. Once you get into them, you'll be pulling off absolutely incredible moves. (Use a gamepad of playing on PC)
2. God of War 1-3: While they are remarkably violent, they have a truly epic sense of scale and are just really darn fun.
3. Ninja Gaiden: A great slasher that will have you twitching (and probably in tears) from its intensity.
4. Oni: Really great beat em up gameplay that's a throwback to Final Fight's, but the platforming is so bad you'll cry.
5. Blade of Darkness: Fun combat, albeit ancient controls that lack the ability to strafe.
ACTION ADVENTURE:
1. Batman: Arkham Asylum: One of the best games I've ever played. Great combat, great narration, and even better technology.
2. Splinter Cell 1, 2, and 3: Each some of the best stealth games ever. 3 is the best, but 1 is the most original. Highly intense.
3. Metal Gear Solid 1, 2, 3, and 4: Really great mix of combat and stealth. Good but quirky stories.
4. Grand Theft Auto VC and SA: Really fun games. The mission design isn't that good, but the driving and such can be fun.
5. Prototype: Excellent combat, free-roaming, and movement. The story sweeps you along at a decent pace, and the game can be so much fun.
REAL TIME STRATEGY:
1. Starcraft: Easy to get into, difficult to master. Have fun.
2. Warcraft III: Best one, obviously. Can be fairly difficult, but fun.
3. Command and Conquer 4: Looks good, plays good. Nuff said.
4. Age of Empires: A great and really fun game filled with adventure.
5. Plants vs. Zombies: A really simple but very fun RTS that's cartoony and highly entertaining.
RPG
1. Mass Effect 2: While it's more shooty than RPG, Mass Effect 2 stands tall as a great game.
2. The Witcher: The excellent combat and great story is backed up by a great graphics engine, but it can get slightly boring.
3. Oblivion: Really good RPG that is fun to play, albeit a bit boring in terms of combat.
4. Fable: Excellent twitch based combat system that emphasizes blocking and such.
5. Dragon Age: Origins: While the combat is too simple, the rest of the game is great for exploration.
FIGHTERS:
So there aren't many fighters on the PC. Well, I'll still recommend some that aren't on the computer. I'll name 3.
1. Street Fighter 4: On the computer. Really fun to play.
2. Super Smash Bros Brawl: On Wii. Great fun.
3. Mortal Kombat: Fun, but takes time to learn. Like a lot of time.
PLATFORMERS:
1. Prince of Persia (2008): The platforming is easy, but it's very stylish and fun.
2. Psychonauts: Simple, but very fun.
3. Wel..... that's about it for platformers.
Rhythm:
1. Guitar Hero 3: If you have the peripheral, grab the game. And try Through the Fire and Flames. On Expert. I dare you.
2. Guitar Hero: World Tour: Not bad.
That's about it, really.
HAVE FUN!!!!
