An older game(2005) that is definitely worth checking out is Halfiife 2. Should be pretty cheap. GameInformer(a gaming website) named it the #5 game of all time.

Before you play Half Life 2, get the original. Terrible graphics, but still one of the best games of all time.
Oh, if you want cheap games, sign up to humblebundle.com and wait for them to do their deals. You can get 5 (or more) games for whatever price you want to pay.

Word of advice Pad, if you do decide to play an online game, you will be playing against people who have been playing video games their whole lives and take them very seriously. Consequently, some of them get very good at it, and it can get very frustrating for an absolute noob to play against. My suggestion would be to cut your teeth on a game that is not played online against other players.
