Hi guys, I need a huge list of new games to play!
List any you find worthy of playing! :) I don't care what type and from 2006 to present! Just list all of the ones you found worthy of playing, I can then research into it and see which ones I like, some I may have already played but it doesn't matter :D

Thankyou

Half-Life 2 is before 2006, but is worth playing again. This time with your upgraded PC and in HDR!

While I really enjoyed a replay of HL2 recently, I found Episode 1 so boring, stale, scripted, doom like and disappointing I didnt bother with Episode 2.

Metacritic is a industry standard that takes all publication reviews ie Giantbomb, IGN, 1UP, Gamespot, etc. and averages a score. the database goes back 15 years and it will make your life a lot easier. everybody should bookmark it.

I found SoF: Payback to be a real let down. Would rather play SOF2 than Payback... even though it did have a few duff levels... great story and nice variety of locations. Actually, SOF2 MP online was the best of the best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXDFsnLnb5I&feature=related
