Saints Row The Third if you want GTA but less brooding and self-serious.

Go for shooters like AVA, Special Force2, and CS:GO (counter strike global offensive, don't go with source, its got bad hit boxes)
RPG's I'd say range between things like dragon age and such, but I think that pokemon is a really great stress reliever and a fun game too

One final thing to say is that I really suggest you look up some of the lesser known games on steam that are in the strategy or puzzle genre, games like Portal are very fun.
User was warned for too many mimes.

^^ Definitely AVA. Or any shooter from ijji. The thing is they're multiplayer so no story

And while we're on the subject of free games, check out Maple Story. It's pretty fun, really relaxing for lower levels, and pretty fast paced combat since your attack speed is high and it's not turn based.

As for Steam, this doesn't really fit into a category but check out Audiosurf if you have a decent amount of music on your compooper. It's kinda Guitar Hero-esque, but no instrument and it creates the track based on your music instead of hardcoded songs. And on highest graphics it can get you high after a while

Bulletstorm and CoD4 (just because it started all that linear heavily scripted shooter stuff) for quick shooter fun, they both take only ~10 hours or even less to complete, but you can replay them on higher difficulties for some additional challenge.

As for RPGs: I loved ME1 for it's atmosphere and story, but combat is rather dull.

Also: get Portal!

Skyrim, It just showed how epic a game could be without being an MMO. World of Warcraft, that game is still the #1 MMO. Mass effect, if you haven't played them you missed out. I am sad the franchise is over but they are amazing.

Deus Ex, Payday The Heist maybe Skyrim are the only games i can recommend of the top of my head, in that order.
Unless you cant get friends to also get Payday, it makes it 1000x better :D

Defined past four years. League of Legends. Sadly I think it is a bad game after playing a few games.

minecraft (2009)
took user created content in games to the next level

league of legends (2009)
took a niche game mod (dota) and turned it into a stand alone game with huge success.
expect to see more developers attempting the same in the future

angry birds (2009)
obviously. the king of casual games

dayz (2012)
A zombie survival mod for Arma 2 - alpha test version came out only a couple months ago and it is already the reason why arma 2 has been top seller on steam for many weeks now. the game is very complex. this game proves that games don't need to be simplified down to shit to appeal to casual games and still be a success. i am expecing a polished standalone game within the next couple of years.

other defining games i can think of (older than 4 years)
guitar hero
portal
team fortress 2

TF2 and Portal should count because they're borderline, just one year ago they would have made the criteria.

So I've started on Fallout: New Vegas, and that's a definite recommend.

Posting for two reasons:
1- Check out the suggestions later
2- As a warning that World of Warcraft is a good way to ERASE 4 years (tongue in cheek and totally serious at the same time, heh)

Total War isn't much of an RTS, I think it falls under Grand Strategy

Aaaah can't wait for the Steam sales. Think I will start on Fallout New vegas and get one of the others if they are on sale.

TW wise I'm eyeing the $30 bundle... though I might wait and see if there are any packages with all of the DLC.
