Well, not too current, but I liked Gears of War for the PC. I still can't get familiar with using a handheld controller for FPS games, so I found it to be a very good game, despite what others may say about its port from the Xbox. It's a resource hog, I finally got it running smooth at 1920 x 1200 resolution with an overclocked Core2 @ 3.4GHz.
Call of Duty 4 has a good story line too for a FPS, along with nice visuals.
GRID racing has some nice eye candy for car racing, but I find it to be very unforgiving if you make the slightest mistake.
Crysis is a PC killer for benchmarking and has great visuals, but the story is short and ho-hum, and it requires some ingenuity in using your special abilities to get through the game. Some have found it difficult / boring.
If you've got a PhysX capable system, get Unreal Tournament 3 and download the PhysX specific map pack from nVidia. The redo of the "Heat Ray" level in the middle of a hail storm is unbelievable. Explosions and the use of the gravity wave gun throw the hundreds of hail balls all over the place. Never seen anything like it.
