Good games to test out new sound card

What do you have currently as that makes it easier to give better examples.

Half Life 2 though. The explosion sounds make me happy.
 
Yea minecraft! Think how scarey it is when your digging in a new cave system and you suddenly hear the THUNK, THUNK, THUNK, of a skele peppering arrows your way!
 
Battlefield Bad Company 2 with wartapes setting

Also, its a oldie but I've always found the audio reproduction in day of defeat source utterly stunning.
 
Mmm I have loads of games mate, is there a way to link to my steam to show what I have?

FEAR, Amnesia, Penumbra series, BF2, Batman: AA, Grid(shift or otherwise), Team Fortress 2 for positional sound also counter strike, if you have the output capabilities. It's a very short list but I remember them having good sound.

Especially half life 2... :p
 
Huge variety of sounds in company of heroes

A tank rolling by unseen in fog of war
A sniper in a tower gunning down your MG
A shell bouncing off uselessly off a enemy tank
Your men screaming down the radio when enemy arty hits

The game is just loaded with great audio moments.
