Late, but I have a few recommendations.

Okay, if you can stand/enjoy metal music, I recommend Brutal Legend.
One thing to note though, do not take the story seriously, okay? It is a parody of the battle between Indie artists and Major Music Lobbyists. Other than that, understand that it is also a game of strategy. There are some battle elements in it, but it's main focus is strategy.
Trust me, later levels, definitely brutal without one.
I also recommend the Mass Effect Trilogy. Well worth every penny in my book.
Also, both of the Batman games. Definitely worth it.
