Ooo nice sands of time! Thats definitely something I missed
I just picked up the entire Sands of Time trilogy for the pc for 20 bucks in a single box, a damn good deal if you have a gamepad or are willing to play platformers on the pc.
And since you have a Sam and Max av, I'm assuming you've played those already, or I'd recommend them.
If you haven't played Max Payne 1&2, they are classics, and my favorite shooters ever.

The pop games actually play fine with mouse and keyboard.

See, I know that, and you know that, but there are people for whom that's a big issue, so I figured I'd mention it.
Id also recomend Left 4 dead and Team fortress 2. Easily two of the best purchaes I have ever made.
You already own the witcher, and by your avatar I assume you have played the Sam and Max series. (Im playing that off and on right now).NWN 2 is good if you like that kind of stuff, the witcher uses the same engine so it should look very familar. Id recomend at least picking up the first expansion if you do plan on buying it, Mask of the betrayer. I havent played the other expansions yet, so I dont know how good or bad they are.
Eh, what else. Oblivion and morrowind can be some fun. (Morrwind was made what 2002 or something right? So you can proably get a gold edition or whatever for cheap) And they both have a load of mods you can get.
Mount and blade can be alot of fun at times, plus like morrowind and oblivion there are a load of mods for it. Each one can range from tweaking a couple things to putting you into the Starwars universe. (That is literally one of the mods, im playing it a little bit here and there).
COD 4 I have on the PS3 (havent been able to play it for a while now though) and I had fun with it. Its on PC aswell and id imagine its pretty good.
The half life series, espically Episode 2, god I love that game.
Beyond good and evil was fun, its an adventure game though.
And if you can pick it up for under 20$ id recomend GUN. I played it and thought it was a good game, a little tedious at some points but the horse back battles can be incredibly fun. Going through a canyon chasing a guy on horse, shooting him and having him shoot back at you while avoiding other guys and not hitting anything is all kinds of awsome. Ive actually been considering doing a Lets play of it, as I dont think one has been done. Ill have to check, and then get the right soft ware in order to record/edit videos.
From what I can tell Preformance isint an issue, I mean if you can run fallout 3 or dead space im sure you can run all the games ive listed.
EDIT: And if you want to get a stradegy game (you said you wanted to get a shooter/rpg, platformers and adventure games aswell, so I doubt you will want to get a stradegey game). I would recomend civ 4. I dont own any of the expansions but I love playing it. From what ive heard the expansions are great. There are alot of other great stradegy games out there though, Euopea Universals or whatever is suppose to be pretty good from what ive been told.
Please remember that having a Xbox 360 controller is about the only way to play The Last Remnant on PC. Otherwise it will take awhile to memorize the vast amount of keybinds in the keyboard config.
This is true for enough 360-PC ports that I almost feel it doesn't need to be said anymore
You are right for the most part. Mass Effect was a great port though. The control scheme was revisted to work flawlessly with the PC. It seems ports can either be fluid or pretty damn jarring. I would say that TLR falls on the far end of pretty damn jarring.
I will say that in the PC version of Mass Effect I had a bit of trouble 1) navigating the conversation wheel arrow with the mouse and 2) piloting the Mako.

For number 2, I heard the XBOX people had it even worse. I didn't find the controls too bad at all for the Mako. It made any mission or area where you used it, way too easy.

I highly recommend you try the demo first and see if it's up your alley or not, and if it is, it can be had for a measly 30 bones MSRP.
