RPGs: Oblivion, Avernum 1, 2, 3, Blades of Avernum (yes, they're all trial versions and very old, but they're still very enjoyable)

Yes...you should. Don't even think about playing them without it. The mod takes care of 99% of the problems the games had, and at the same time makes it look and play 2x better.

if its that bad ill just consider the mod a patch lol

I've played Counter Strike: Source for 5 years now and I'm still playing it and having fun. People make so many great mods for the game so it's like 10 games in one. Team Fortress 2 is free to play so might as well check that out because it is a very good game. I'd also recommend Half Life 2 purely because it's one of those "standards" like super mario brothers (and because I love valve). The original Bioshock is a pretty amazing experience. The total war games are great RTS games. I've been playing Shogun 2: Total War and I've had a blast. Haven't played many older games but Hitman: Blood Money was good despite being old. What kind of genre are you interested in?

I want to say mass effects, but I actually don't think that they are that good, get them cheap on steam when they are on sale.
Witcher 1 is good, witcher 2 is so different that I struggle to like it, or its on too hard a setting.
Stalkers

Shooters:

Team Fortress 2 (free to play on Steam)

BF3 - best multiplayer shooter out there imo

Crysis 2 (if you're into singleplayer shooters, and can get it cheap)

Racing:

Dirt 3

Grid

Blur (Awesome both LAN and via interwebs)

RPGs:

The Elder Scrolls - Skyrim

For a combination of both racing and shooters: Mafia 2 and GTA 4

I forgot one in my last reply.
