Get the Crucial M4, very impressed with mine. I'm sure plenty of others will be along soon to back me up on this 
Games wise? Depends what you like. I've enjoyed Deus Ex HR, Skyrim and BF3 the most lately.

Definitely go for at least the 128Gb. A lot of people seem to go for the 60Gb drives, but once you've installed your OS, updates and critical apps, you don't have a lot of space left. 128Gb will allow you to install quite a few large games as well.

Just bought the 128gb crucial m4. My first ssd. I wish I had got one a year ago it is awesome, totally changes the experience for the better I feel. Wouldn't go less than 128gb if budget not an issue.
Games wise I still play Starcraft 2 almost daily but not very good at it. Also the Anno games nd Battlefield 3.

+1 for 128GB M4
I make do with 80GB SSD cos I bought it quite a while ago an god yeah, best upgrade I've ever made.
Games-wise - BF3 tbh, the gfx and realism are pretty jaw dropping imo.

+1 for a Crucial M4, they are really good drives, decent value and don't seem to have the level of issues some other current-gen SSDs are experiencing.
If your budget can bear it, I would go with the 256GB version. I say this because it is usually a bit cheaper per GB than the 128GB one, offers plenty of space to put all your main games on and is also a bit quicker than the 128GB version (write speeds specifically are a good deal better). That said, if you can't afford the 256GB then the 128GB version is still a really good option.
Another one to look out for is the Intel 320. This isn't quite as fast as a M4, however it tends to be a bit cheaper per GB and also comes with a longer warranty (5 years vs 3 years).
As for some games to try out I would certainly give Battlefield 3 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim a go.
