Get Steam and create an account. That would be the first step to get games at good prices during sales. No more boxes and dvds to manage, simply download your games whenever you want to play them. You can even make a copy on DVDs from Steam and reinstall from them, so you won't bust your monthly download limit if you have one.
As far as recommending games goes and since we don't really know what you like, i'll try to throw some titles in here that are based on my personal opinion:
*The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Huge open-world RPG. Beautiful and filled with tens or hundreds of hours of questing and adventuring, depending on your playstyle. You decide what to make of this game.
*Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning - Newly released on feb. 7th. Again, great RPG with a huge world to explore. A lot more linear than Skyrim so it may feel less threatening. Loesser graphics quality without being ugly. More vivid and colorful. Combat is tons of fun and way better than anything out there. Leveling system is quite well thought out, without being unique, it's pretty well made. Overall great game, refreshing in a world of RPG clones.
*The Witcher 2 - A more mature type of RPG. In between Skyrim and Kingdoms of Amalur in linearity. Great graphics and strong story telling. Cool combat mechanics. Lots of stuff to do in there. Great game.
*Starcraft 2 - RTS game. Great game overall. Didn't lpayed much of it, maybe 2 or 3 missions. It's quick and fun, nice visuals. Kept most of the first game feeling.
*Rift - An MMORPG from Trion Worlds. Love this game and it offers a free month to new and existing accounts. Lots of fun, nice visuals and design. Cool leveling system where you choose your first 3 trees from your specific class. Lots of world events occurs randomly in ways of rifts and invasions, it's really fun and involding. Cool MMO.
*Portal and Protal 2 - If you loved Half-Life even though it's pretty different.
*Dawn of War 2 series - Best RTS/RPG out there IMO. Warhammer 40k universe is one of the coolest out there. It's a blend of sci-fi, gothic themed mythology and it's dark as dark can get. It's a great mix of strategy and RPG where your heroes level up, get new skills and awesome loot in missions. Great game that you should play if you like RTS and RPGs.
*Warhammer 40k: Space Marine - Just played the demo but it's really cool. It's an Action game whwre you play a Space Marine and blast, cut and saw your way through hordes of Orcs and other creatures. It's bloody and action filled with some customization.
*Diablo 3 - When it comes out it will be awesome.
*Grim Dawn - From the creators of Titan Quest. When it comes out it will be awesome.
*Torchlight 2 - When it comes out it will be awesome.
Nothing else comes to mind for now but with those you can have like 8544 hours of fun in the next years
