Computer games
IronOxide:
The pinnacle of computer games is Day of the Tentacle, the sequel to Maniac Mansion. It's pretty much perfection.
MatticusPrime:
Day of the Tentacle and Grim Fandango were both done by Tim Schafer I believe.
Maniac Mansion and the first two Monkey Island games were done by Ron Gilbert.
Now try to imagine the awesomeness that would result if they ever decided to work together!
Alegis:
RTS fun ! Dawn of War ! A lot of games nowadays like Divine Divinity which are as cheap as 5$ which is nothing
Peet:
I recommend getting Rome: Total War. The sequel is out in autumn so you can get R:TW and the patch Barbarian Invasion for cheap (£20?).
Then you can download the Lord of the Rings modification for it from www.thefourthage.net.

If you're looking for 'little' games (short innings, cheap)...
[/url=http://www.shrapnelgames.com/digital_eel/Weird_worlds/1.htm]Wierd Worlds[/url] is galactic conquest in 20 minutes or less...with procedurally generated levels and gobs of stuff to discover (to say nothing of the sumptuous audiovisual feast attendant to said gameplay) makes it a good use of $24.95.
Uplink is a delightful little paranoiac romp into the world of Black Hat hacking. Absurdly low system requirements, impressive amounts of exploration to be had, and works both as a marathon game or in short bursts. Highly recommended.
On the Total War note...if youre looking for epic strategy, politicking, assassination, and general skullduggery, Shogun is buckets of fun and can be had in jewel-only form for $10 or less. For a game released in 1998, the graphics are poetry, and both the strategic and tactical games are immensely rewarding.
Command and Conquer: The First Decade can be had for ~$40 and will probably keep you entertained until the apocalypse. Nothing like Tiberium, Attack Dolphins, and the odd Toxin Tractor to lay waste to one's opponents.
Grim Fandango mad seconded. Or whatever we're up to.
