By sticking with only shooters (not saying that you are, just saying generally), you're doing yourself a great disservice.
Some games that are fantastic and not plagued by the typical wash-rinse-repeat concept we always see today are Just Cause 2, Grand Theft Auto 4 (age doesn't matter), The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (which was a disappointment, but the player-made mods are fantastic), Fallout 3 (which I stayed away from, but I've played it on console, it's a good game) and the other Fallout games, BioShock 1/2, Fable: The Lost Chapters, Darksiders, and that doesn't even scratch the surface of the list of amazing games that are available on the PC.
There are also Indie Games (literally thousands), MMOs, and tech-demos that shouldn't be overlooked.
FPS-wise, there's Killing Floor, Left 4 Dead, A.V.A (free), Deus Ex (both of them.), STALKER, Metro 2033, and many other over-looked titles.
You certainly know what you are talking about man.
I worship you for these suggestions. =D
