I don't have anything to play (but I have a lot of games) and I need your help.

 

It seems like your taste does not depend on the genre or the quality of the game itself. You'll have to figure out what you like first. 

 

Examples: Skyrim and Fallout 3 and Oblivion is basically the same game, with different aesthetics. The first two are hands down better games mechanically though. Portal you liked, while Portal 2 is the same but again a better game overall. Same could be said for COD4 vs Black Ops, Bioshock vs Bioshock Infinite and so on...

 

If I had to guess, I'd say you want a completely new experience and without too much complexity/depth. Try going onto, say Steam, and sorting the games by rating. Take the first game from the top that you've never heard of and try it out, then the next and so on

And here are the games that I enjoyed but completed only once (and can't force myself to complete them more times):

  • Fallout 3 - Try New Vegas
  • Bioshock - Bioshock 2?
  • The Witcher - Try The Witcher 2
  • Star Trek Elite Force - YES!

And here are some games I played more than half of the campaign:

  • Bioshock Infinite
  • Half Life 2
  • Halo: Combat Evolved
  • F.E.A.R.

 

You should try to finish the games I left on your list, they are all quite excellent (It might just be too long since Halo came out though for people new to the game to really enjoy it).

 

Otherwise, you could try the Dragon Age, Dead Space, or Mass Effect Trilogies for long games. For shorter games, give Thomas Was Alone and VVVVVV a try.

 

Edit: Sorry for all the third-person suggestions
