OK, initial game order ended up as:
Amnesia-The Dark Descent
Portal
Half Life 2 entire franchise
Team Fortress 2 (freebie)
Dead Space
Bioshock
Total game investment $35. There are advantages to coming into this late. Should keep me busy for some time.

Crysis 2 is pretty good, and pretty, if your computer is built to those specs. But ultimately, it was made for the multiplayer, so the single player is limited, though I have played through several times.
Really aren't many newer single player PC games I can suggest aside from ones already listed. Plenty of fun older ones though. I'm a big fan of wasting away hours playing sim games. Civ4, old Alpha Centauri, or really anything Sid Meier created.

Completed Portal tonight. Didn't know what to really expect. Back in my day you played games that never ended until you ran out of lives. There was no "end".
Bittersweet, I guess.

Been playing the ---- out of Civilization 5. I cannot be stopped! Nothing as satisfying as nuking the ---- out of Gandhi. I had riflemen in the 1400's, nukes by the american revolution. I was a bit ahead of my time. About to start the space race around the civil war era. I can roll up on foreign soil in my single mechanized infantry unit and conquer city after city, fighting archers and cavalry soldiers.

Buy the Orange box, you will not regret it. The Half Life 2 episodes and Portal will keep you entertained for their entire duration. Then you can pick up Portal 2.
The Left 4 Dead games are great, but not so great single player. The bot AI is decent but so much of the games motivation comes from playing with other people.
Then from Bethesda you have Fallout and the Elder Scrolls. Very good, and offers a ton of length if you get into it.
The first Bioshock is amazing and the 2nd is pretty good as well.
Anything else I can recommend as highly as those games will probably be on the the Playstation/Playstation 2 and be a geeky RPG that none of you have heard of, so Ill just leave it at that.
EDIT:
I should have read the damn thread before posting :/

Edit: why the **** is this in my new posts if last post was 2012??
Have to break these up into single and multi.
Single
- BG2 Shadows of arm
- FF7
Multi
- Tribes 1
- Tribes 2
- Pubg
Nothing has come close to the skill/teamwork of T1/2 / Pubg
And ff7 / bg2 are the essence of humanity in a cookie crunch bisket
