AudioSurf is something everyone should have, if they have music on their PC. Other than Scrabble and Chess, it's the only gave I go back to on a consistent basis.
Torchlight II is a lot of fun if you like dungeon crawling. Diablo without all the fluff.
Deponia and Machinarium if you like point and click puzzle games. Both have excellent and unique vibes.
It's a shame about the no shooter thing, as Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas are incredible, especially with the amazing mod support they have. They're more open-world RPG than shooter, of course, but you still have to kill stuff.
