Civilization V: Brave New World
Hunt the Wumpus and Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego.
Never heard of those two. What sort of games are they?
This winter I plan on busting back into PC Gameing. The last time I sat down myself and played was Fallout New Vegas. My old fat white 360 died and I never replaced it. Other then that I play wii games with my 7yo and 10yo sons. I busted out (or rather found). Some of my old consoles. It's suprised me, they actually would rather play the retro games then touch some of the new titles.
You wanted a list so here is what I plan to take a look into. Diablo 3, Counter Strike, S ome CoD titles, Starcraft 2 and I also plan on retroing it as well. I also want to check out the new duke nukem. Even I f it sucks

I don't know if you know, but you can buy the humble bundle with Bitcoins!
Do it!
6 Games for 1 dollar or 0.007 BTC!
I got the latest one and it may just have a couple of decent titles in it. I'm too busy with college.

Thanks for the tip. I'm sure many Bitcoin users will benefit from buying the Humble Bundle.
@Lethn: sounds like pokemon

DotA seems to be mostly about fast mouse reactions, and knowing characters + skills by heart. Is this true?
Any online RPG is like that, the difference between them is many stats you have to memorise and their graphics, pretty much all the ones I've seen are just glorified rock/paper/scissors games but they're not even that balanced because you have rock/paper/scissors/character1/character2/character3/etc. and that just devolves into a whole mess, anyone who claims that kind of game is balanced is talking shit, especially if it's a game developer.
Here's a pic by the way I had found ages ago that perfectly explains how I see RPG games today:
I've never tried DotA (or LoL), but I don't think I like the genre very much. I've tried DotA 2 for a short time but I never finished the tutorial.

This pretty much applies to me as well. DotA seems to be mostly about fast mouse reactions, and knowing characters + skills by heart. Is this true?
Actually, Payday 2.
But, I played a lot of DotA(2) and LoL.
I too play Payday 2 though I'm taking a break a bit. I actually spent over 20 hours playing solely the beta before the game was out. I guess I'm kind of a fan of the series though there were decisions that weren't really enjoyed by me in Payday 2 comparing to Payday: The Heist . But, I played a lot of DotA(2) and LoL.
No they aren't, Valve still has steam, when they get rid of steam and the online requirements then they'll be doing it right, Valve fanboism annoys me >_< 
, oh and they ruined Team Fortress 2 by making it all about stupid hats and collectable items, you're right about game developers just being in it for money, but don't make the mistake a lot of people make of thinking Valve is exempt from this.

It didn't work. Did you see the new Sim City? Or Madden? Or any other new EA game?
Corporate greed at its finest :-)
Good choice. I wouldn't either.

I didn't even bother getting Sim City. It didn't look good at all and after reading up on it with all the bugs involved. I'll stick with Sim city 2000/Deluxe.

Well at least valve have done quality work for the money they sucked up. The hat fetish in TF2 does annoy me alittle bit however that's the main thing fueling TF2 economy. I play a lot of games in many genres but mostly enjoy RPGs. , oh and they ruined Team Fortress 2 by making it all about stupid hats and collectable items, you're right about game developers just being in it for money, but don't make the mistake a lot of people make of thinking Valve is exempt from this.No they aren't, Valve still has steam, when they get rid of steam and the online requirements then they'll be doing it right, Valve fanboism annoys me >_< , oh and they ruined Team Fortress 2 by making it all about stupid hats and collectable items, you're right about game developers just being in it for money, but don't make the mistake a lot of people make of thinking Valve is exempt from this.

I played pretty much all the Total War games, unfortunately total war is turning into most RTS like that 
it's more about how many units you can spam rather than using any form of strategy before in the first Shogun it did actually involve some proper skill but now you just need the better troops and you'll usually win with a basic flank attack etc. and the multiplayer is pretty pathetic..... Then there's the DLC's they're already churning out in order to get you to pay for them ;_;.
We need to go back to the old ways where strategy games were about terrain modifiers and not about getting to the unit which has 999999 hitpoints first I'm hoping things will change in Rome 2 Total War but I doubt it because the developers are arrogant twats like most of them are in the games industry.

osu, minecraft, portal 2
Lately, 100% Team Fortress 2. I don't know what it is about that game, but I can't stop shooting people in the face with rockets.
I also sometimes play CiV; that's another really addicting game. BNW made it all the better, though now it seems science victories are a lot harder to reach; I'll be in year 2030 and still won't be anywhere near the last technologies.

I've been playing TF2 (and trading hats for Bitcoin) for the past 2 years. I only stopped in June because my computer is busted and I don't want to buy a new one (already have a tablet). Maybe we can play together someday :-)
Actually, Payday 2.
But, I played a lot of DotA(2) and LoL.

Payday 2 is a great game but it can get a bit repetitive once you know all the levels by heart.
@Lethn: have you played the first Rome: Total War game? I didn't really like it. Sending out waves of troops to fight against the enemy's waves of troops is not too fun for me.
