I need a non-shooter game suggestion

Try World of Goo.

Sims 2 is a good game. DiRT is great to just get a change of scene, or better yet GRiD.clembo1990

Sims 2 was horrible, try Civilization 4 it's like playing a board game.

There are indie games: World of Goo, The Ship, Defcon, Multiwinia, etc.

There are adventure games: Sam & Max, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People, etc.

There are older games: Pschonauts, Fallout and its sequal, Dreamfall, etc.

There are RPGs: Bioshock (kinda), Mass Effect, The Witcher, etc.

There are MMOs: World of Warcraft, free MMOs, etc.

There are RTSs: Dawn of War, Total War, etc.

There are TBS: Civilization...

take your pick

I second World of Goo. Very simple, fun and relaxing to play.

I had a list of RTSs and RPGs for you, but they're rather more intense.

Nobody said Oblivion?

One suggestion here: There's a section on the PC homepage that allows you to browse by the different gaming genres. Once you click in Browse you can see even more options, like the different sub-genres of strategy games, e.g., Turn-based (TBS). This tool allows you to view the games by rating or the most recent. It will give you a great idea of some of the best games in each genre and then you can simply drill down to the game's page for more info, screenshots, demos, etc.

Personally, I recommend trying out some strategy games, since it's one of the classic PC genres.

I'm mainly a strategy gamer, so I recommend any Total War games, Company of Heroes and Civilization IV
