    I like Bioshock and only paid $20 for it at Best Buy. Aside from that I'm into RTS games so I won't be of much help...

    A nice Diablo 2 clone is Sacred: Underworld (even has some Diablo references added in for fun!). You can buy a hard copy on eBay or just use steam. Tonnes of replay value with many difficulty levels, weapons, etc etc.

    FPS: Shadowrun... Its a pretty underrated and often unheard of game. Should be an easy pickup @ local Gamestop for $20. Can buy Xbox360 version for $12-15.

    Well someone has to mention it, Mass Effect its basically a mix of the 2, third person shooter with RPG elements. One of the few games i actually started and finished enjoyed it throughly.

    definitely agree with this. you should try this game. its the first game in a long time i played start to finish without being bored enough to start a different game in the middle (minus counter strike, but that doesnt count). plus its only 20 bucks.

    If you are looking at Diablo 2, You should also look at the Baldur's Gate series

    Action-based hack'n'slash RPG to traditional cRPG based on 2nd edition DnD rules, I don't quite see the connection other than both games being broadly under the RPG umbrella.

    Not at all like gears of war. I didn't really warm to either personally as they seemed console designed. Mass effect is very well engineered however and runs incredibly well, a breath of fresh air when compared with recent demanding games that look good too but kill your system.

    the third person camera is similar to gears of war but I think the interaction with characters is somewhat different.

    For RPGs I would recommend Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines very highly.

    It has a very unique atmosphere that I can confidently say no game has ever recreated. Unfortunately, it has quite a big of bugs, but there is an unofficial patch u can download from the community that fixes everything. Last time I checked, you can get it on Steam

    If you liked to PvP in Diablo II, or play dota in WarCraft, you should give Demigod a try. It's just fun carnage, no real story, just jump in and play, and apparently has a pretty good multiplayer outlet.
