Neskah:
Not entirely new, but as I'm a girl, I've been given crappy suggestions. Don't get me wrong... I did finish that Pokemon game I was bought, but... thats cause i commute almost an hour each way on the train every day and finished every book i own.

I also tried FFXI, and while i enjoyed it to a degree, it took me two years to get to level 48, which should indicate my true level of enthusiasm. Waiting 4 hours for a party only to have it disband because of elitism and power struggles, is not my idea of fun. WoW, while colourful, had similar issues.

Retaining only a love of Mario Kart, Id pretty much given up on games... Until my BF gave me a copy of Half Life 2. Which I LOVED. Then he bought me a copy of L4D, which I can't get enough of.

This weekend I attended my first Lan and got to try my hand at COD4 and CS, and had a blast. (Seeing my BFs younger brother shoot him in the arse with a replica Sig Sauer air soft gun was also a laugh a minute).

So it seems I enjoy games where I can run around and shoot people.

Any suggestions?

Surgoshan:
Get the Orange Box.  No lie, best money you'll ever spend.  It's got:

Half-Life 2
Half-Life 2: Episode 1
Half-Life 2: Episode 2
Team Fortress 2
Portal

David_Dovey:
Everybody, gamer or otherwise should play Portal, oh yes.

Trollstormur:
2nding the OJB

I didn't buy the OJB but I bought TF2 and it was the best damn money I've ever spent.

evernew:
I bought the Orange Box too. The only game I have tried so far is Peggle.
I fail at life.

If you like running around and shooting stuff but not waiting for people, I'd suggest the Call of Duty 4 singleplayer campaign. I've been playing it on and off and the story is well-told; you're in action as two different characters in two completely different storylines but you have a feeling that there is a connection really early on.

Also, try the Halo series. Instead of having 10 weapons like in Half-Life you have to choose which ones you carry and instead of left click = fire and right click = zoom / grenade / whatever you also have the choice of firing two weapons at the same time.
