FPS : Crysis, Bioshock, F.E.A.R.

RPGs : Diablo2, Titan Quest, Oblivion, Mass Effect

Action/Adventure : Assassins Creed, Gears of War,Devil May Cry 4 (360 controllers required for all for max experience)

I'd rather go with something like Saitek Eclipse than Logitech G15. The extra buttons are useless in most games.

From more recent games I'd get:

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl, Heroes of Might and Magic V, Sins of Solar Empire, Orange Box, Oblivion (mods for the win), Gothic 3, The Witcher, Counter-Strike: Source, Vampire: Bloodlines, Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4, Crysis, Company of Heroes, World in Conflict, Chronicles of Riddick, Civilization IV, Medieval 2 Total War, Warcraft 3, Knights of the Old Republic, No One Lives Forever 2, Battlefield 2, Neverwinter Nights 2, Jade Empire

Those should be enough to begin with.

Hmm...PC games I recommend are:

1. Crysis

2. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

3. Mass Effect

4. Crysis Warhead (When it comes out)

5. Medieval: Total War (if you like strategy) or the new Empire: Total War (when it comes out).

Casual - Medium Gamer:

Call of Duty 4 (best on PC, played them all)

Spore

Battlefield 2142

Far Cry 2

Hardcore:

Company of Heroes
Supreme Commander
CounterStrike : Source
Half Life 2 + episodes (best game ever :D orange box)
Max Payne 1 and 2
Heroes of Might and Magic 3 (really old school but excellent)
Grim Fandango

Do yourself a favor and get the Valve Value pack from Steam. Its every Valve game ever for $90 usd. Its worth every penny. Thats alot of games, good games. Its the price of 1.5 console games.artiedeadat40

Its worth every penny.

1. Call of Duty 4

2. Civilization 4 (plus the two expansion packs)

3. Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth Ches (BME I, BME II, and Rise of the Witch King)

4. Counter Strike: Source
