Ask me again a month from now and the answer will be Guild Wars 2. But for now it's a hodgepodge of:<ul><li>A Valley Without Wind</li><li>Anno 2070</li><li>Champions Online</li><li>Driver San Francisco</li><li>Longest Journey, The</li><li>Metro 2033</li><li>Splinter Cell: Conviction</li><li>Super Street Fighter 4: Arcade Edition: Ver. 2012: No Ultras: Fox Only: Final Destination</li></ul>
Sim City 4... in theory a handful of others too but meh, haven't managed to get any playtime in for anything but SC4 after finally figuring out how to win at that game.

League of Legends, Warhammer 40k: Space Marine, A poker night at the inventory.. waiting for WoW: Pandaland to arrive (don't even think about burning me on that one! ;) ). There's a few nice up and coming games, too. There's lots out there.
If you're bored, keep an eye on steam, there's several nice f2p games available, and sometimes really good sales.
<u>Right now</u> I'm replaying HL2 and episodes and a lot of minesweeper.
here are some good games to play if you're bored:
Multiplayer: Dystopia: features a easy-to-use Bhop, very fun Weapons, good gameplay, good and +/- mature community.
Dino D-Day: this game has been released before it was ready due to the dev team running out of money and it has been unanimously reviewed as bad by so called "professional game reviewers" and it is often reduced to the nazi-dinosaur gimmick. But it is actually a good game. It doesn't really offer any great innovations but it is fun to play. Biggest minus point though: VERY small community (barely enough to fill a server) with a very high percentage of under 12 year olds.
Left4Dead: you know this game. Not noob friendly. Angry community. Almost unbearable with random online players. With at least 7 friends however you'll get one of the best mutliplayer experiences ever. I haven't had so much fun playing since NS1 in this one year of L4D before Valve killed the game. Left4Dead2: like l4d but with more active players. Unlike L4D1 it's less fun, dumbed down but somewhat playable with randoms. Community gves me an idea how it must be to play console games online.
Singleplayer:
Just Cause 2: console port, controls are meh, satiric story about the usual amercians=good, dictatorship=evil world view but you can ignore the story completely. The game scores by it's enormous draw distance and all the stuff you can do there. Somewhat repetitive but good nonetheless.
The Stalker series: For me three of the best singleplayer games. Period.
Spacechem: puzzle game that actually makes you think.
Torchlight: a classic hack&slash
If you like point and click: The longest journey and Dreamfall are a must.
Killing floor: Enemies are always bots so I count it as singleplayer. Point&click at the specimen, especially fun as sharpshooter.
Been playing the PC version of FF7 with graphics mods and a hardcore mod that adds a bunch of new enemies and makes the game a lot harder, NS2, and I just installed System Shock 2 to play coop with a friend.

PoE is pretty damn good, I played the open weekend way back while waiting for D3's release (and hoping D3 would be good) and I loved it so much I donated to be a permanent beta tester.

I love Diablo 1, gotta replay that again sometime.

Its got zombies and stuff.
Oh god I can't stop playing warband
Once you get used to the controlls it's surprisingly good. But be sure to get the DLC, it fixes a lot of issues.
after i denied D3 a spot on my drive.
Planetside 2
HoN
I'm losing interest in SC2.... about 85% of the SC2 games I play feel the same. Got bored, na'mean.
Havent played NS2 in a while... could give that a try
