You can find Bioshock for ten bucks new pretty often nowadays. I've not played Dead Space myself, but all the reviews I've heard of it were that Dead Space presented a space version of everything Bioshock had done better the previous year. I finally got to start playing Bioshock this past year when we replaced our computers. Good stuff.

I also find myself coming back to the PC version of Puzzle Quest semi-regularly. It's an rpg where the battles are all conducted via turn-based games of Bejeweled with spells and armaments that influence the game in ways that create a lot of depth and strategy. Best of all, you can tab away from it for as long as you want without ill effect as the only timed puzzles are when you choose to level up your mounts. I've played it and WoW simultaneously in the past.

Not that this is at all helpful, but I am still waiting and holding my breath in anticipation for Diablo III...

I loved Dead Space :)

I've heard great things about Civ 4, though haven't played it myself.

Hmmm...if you like the GTA series at all, I LOVED the story and main character from GTA 4. His sense of humour was right up my alley.

Sounds like you might like Hinterland. http://www.playgreenhouse.com/game/TLTML-000001-01/ I've not played it myself, but Tycho of Penny Arcade has sung praises, and I tend to agree with his recommendations.

Actually, you may as well give all of http://www.playgreenhouse.com/games a look-over.

Try Civ 4. Especially if you know someone else with it.
