I've been sat here listening to music for the past hour or so just blankly staring at my steam games list....

I seem to be stuck in a rut of hating every game i play, battlefield bad company 2 gets me frustrated easily and i get bored quickly, L4D2 i find i can't enjoy unless im playing insanity games with you OcUK lot, there just seems to be no enjoyment left in games for me..

This is a brief list of games on my steam list:
Battlefield: bad company 2 - Bored of it and easily frustrated by it
Braid - Enjoyed it, completed it too quickly
COD games - Same as battlefield and the MW1+2 games are just crap
Command and conquer 3 - I wish C&C4 was a build bases game, i need something new like this
Counterstrike source - Quit playing it due to what i could only call an addiction
Crysis - Crap
Dragon age - Completed it, got bored by about half way through and started rushing through it
Fallout 3 - Stupid as it sounds i can't play it, im too jumpy when i comes to games with things jumping out at you and running at you etc
GTA IV - Completed it, now bored of it, feel i wouldn't enjoy the new one either
Half life games - Where the hell is Episode 3?
L4D1 + 2 - As per earlier statement
Machinarium - LOVED IT but completed it, need more games like this!
Prototype - that was fun for 5 minutes
Team fortress 2 - hate it

So that's the main games in my list, i need more games like machinarium, can anyone recomend any? but as well as those i need something new, something that isn't an FPS, isn't a dragged out RPG that i'll get bored of after a few days, i don't even know how to explain what i want :(

AGGH gaming has gone stale, im tempted to get the N64 out and play through mario 64 and zelda again, braid felt a bit like a combo of mario + machinarium which was fun but too short, please please please recommend me some games?

I've always wanted to get into an MMO but they are all so unrewarding at the start, i think i nearly got into star wars galaxies once but i never managed to properly get into it, is there anything a bit like planetside around at the moment?i remember quite enjoying that

Looks a lot like prototype style gameplay, makes me wonder if im going to quickly lose interest like i did with prototype, main problem with single player games is i get bored of AI and want to go back to multiplayer again :(

What about racing games?

The codemasters pack is 75% off atm on steam

Well GRID is the only racing game i think ive ever enjoyed and got quite into, i've played dirt2 on the xbox 360 and didn't like it so having dirt 1 is probably pointless, i don't know anything about the other 2, what are they like in comparison to GRID?
 
Can't remember what the other 2 are (on iPod I'll check in min)

I think one is fuel
fuel is ok, rather boring
races can go on all day (yea I mean it)
I got bored of it quickly, it's fairly easy though there are hardness levels iirc.
Not got much more to say on it really... All off road...fun to play for a while
totally different go grid, I do prefer grid though

edit: not played that toca game

that codemasters pack is a steal for that price IMO

I am playing through Comany of Heroes and World in Conflict at the moment both great rts games if you like rts.

Also playing Batman Arkham Asylum which is very good.If you like 3rd person horror games then Dead Space is worth a shot too.
 
I've played through company of heroes, liked it but again it's one of those ones i'd say i would get too bored of quickly now, played through batman on the xbox, absolute 100% no on the dead space one :p ever see mack n mesh? im a bit like him with scary games :D
 
If you want something with a great story line, something to keep you on your toes..then how about System Shock 2..but with the mods available?

Although it was released back in 1999, I have never played a game that has aged so well. It truly is one of the gaming industries greatest achievements. Very, very little repeated audio loops too, which is, for me, a first! :)

Check out the reviews on youtube.
 
Seriously play through Dead Space, sure there is jumpy moments but it's a great game as the atmosphere alone is incredible.

Also if you playing several games try keep them a bit varied, i.e one fps/rpg/racing or something, i have 22 games to play at the moment i am still trying to complete. :p

What about the Assassin Creed games? part 1 can be a bit repetitive though part 2 is real good from what i've heard/read.

You could try:

Tomb Raider series.(the newest 3)
Hitman games.
Splinter Cell games.
Drakensang.
Call of Juarez 1+2.
Prince of Persia series.(a friend and brother says these are brilliant)
The Last Remnant.
The Witcher.(supposed to be really good.)
 
mount and blade warband might interest you, there's not much out there like it :)

mmo wise go for eve and find a corp (although if you start enjoying yourself say goodbye to your social life lol)

Maybe have a look at Supreme Commander 2?

As for RPG, something like Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines might fit the bill. It's quite focused rather than drawn out, with a heavy focus on characterisation and dialogue. I'd say as RPGs go it's fairly easy to get into, the learning curve is reasonable.
