Subject: I got a nice new computer, I dunno what games I should get

I prefer to be the man in a mask.

As the title states I finally got an actual gaming desktop computer. 8 gigs of ram, a Geforce GTX 660 graphics card, and a i5 3570k processor. It plays all the free games I have very well such as TF2, Tribes Ascend, and Hawken. I however don't have any AAA titles on it yet and since the steam winter sale only lasts about another day or so I'm desperate. If you could perhaps suggest some games I could get that would be great; perhaps shooters since I have played a great deal of sword play types of games already :P

I've picked a few out for myself already such as Skyrim, Chivalry, Symphony, Bastion, and Red Alert 3. I'm going to try out Bioshock when the demo is installed.

(I looked into Stalker, horror is not my thing)
(Planetside 2 looks good, I'll probably get it)

Far Cry 3 is gorgeous.

It's not all about graphics, although I bet Crysis is incredibly shiny.

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

I second the STALKER games. Mostly Shadows of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat, you can skip Clear Sky, it's meh.

I work for the Department of Defense.

Your specs are identical to mine. (slight edit-- my 660 is a OC'd TI version)

Make sure for Skyrim you pump the mod's up. Really changes the game. I am new to the skyrim modding scene, and don't even have nearly enough mod's yet but I'm running around 20 so far.

So far the companion (in the picture) is really fantastic.

Out of whats available man, she's seemingly (so far, like I said, skyrim nexus has like, dozens of thousands of mod's) -- She's one of the least just total bimbo of them all.

She has an entire sweedish history, over 600 lines of user created dialogue, and really plays up a rather good lore relevant story and whatnot.

The flexibility of her coding is what I find the best, not really aesthetics.

I make a living of selling my body, and I don't mean sex.

Silly OP, you don't need to buy anymore games than you already have!

Who needs more than Minesweeper,Solitaire,Hearts, or Free Cell?
-Infinity replayability
-Challenge for even game veterans
-No stupid story to distract from the fun. This isn't a movie.
-Critically acclaimed single player

Some of the games you can actually play on the go. Just go to the store and buy the 52 card mobile expansion and be on your way.

Natural Selection II if you have a decent connection. Not many players (seems to be 10,000 at the most I've ever seen), but it's -blam!- amazing.
