If you liked Counter Strike, you will have an orgasm over Team Fortress 2. I highly recommend it. Better yet, pick up the Orange Box (which includes TF2) so you can play the Half Life 2 Trilogy + Portal also.
I also recommend Bioshock for an epic single player adventure. It's the spiritual successor to System Shock 2...pwnage. F.E.A.R. is also a great horror game that can be found for under $10 if you look around...well worth it.

I would highly suggest europa universalis: rome.
I never get bored of killing off bastards (in the literal use of the term)
+the latest (quite cheap expansion) expansion kicks serious butt. The ai is extremely good also

Wasn't a huge fan of Rome, but I agree with you on the AI; it's the bests AI in a Paradox game yet. Also, have you seen any of the HOI3 stuff yet? It looks pretty badass.
