Good single player game recommendation?

I'm kind of burnt out on MMO's. I need a good break from the grind and the raids. I think what I need now is a good single player game to keep me busy for awhile. Can anyone recommend me some good ones? I'm not picky, I play all games. Games I've played are:
The Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim
Dragons Dogma
Half Life 1&2, Portal 1&2
Shogun Total War
Neverwinter Nights
Dragon Age 1 and 2
Dark Souls
Call of Juarez : Bound in Blood
Assassins Creed (all of them)
Deus Ex (played original and Human Revlution.)
Psychonaughts
L4D
Fallout 3 and New Vegas
Diablo 3
I've tried to get into older games like Planescape Torment and Baldurs Gate, but I just can't do it. They are just too old for me. So any help would be appreciated!

Not played Skyrim?
Oh yeah of course I've played the Elder Scrolls. Forgot to put that in.
BioShock is one I turned up lately that seems interesting and unique. It got good reviews too.
Best described as a bizzaro first person shooter RPG.
I agree..... Bioshock would be a great one.
I envy you getting to play it for the first time.
Life is Short, Read a Book.
yeah Planescape and Blauders get are old but take a second look at em...so much depth storywise cmpared to RPG's nowadays. Planscape is still one of my top 5 games I have played...so much fun being good on 1st playthrough making friends XD and getting most of the story. Then being evil 2nd time around and killing everyone I pretty much met MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
If you like a good story, I'd recommend Mafia 2. It's set in an open world, and although it's pretty linear with not much to do aside from the main story missions, the gameplay and story are top notch and should take you about 8 - 10 hours to complete. I was sad when the game ended, I wanted more.
Also, you might wanna try Darksiders. Extremely underrated game IMO. If you get it on PC, it's clearly a console port, but a pretty good one I think.
Consume. Be silent. Die.
Get on your playstation 3 and DL Chrono Trigger
I find the old school console RPG games to be much funner and the storyline is more engaging.
Sword of Vermillion
Shining in the Darkness
Shining Force 2 & 3
Phantasy Star 1 through 4
Golden Axe Warrior
Zelda series
Ultima series
Final Fantasy Series
The Wizardry series (Crusaders of the Dark Savant was my favorite)
Heroes Of Might and Magic series
etc etc!
Phewwwww! I was going to say!
Ok my recomendations are as follows.
Mass Effect 1-3 as a trilogy.
Fallout 3 and New Vegas.
Grand Theft Auto IV
Any Stalker game.
Bioshock
Amnesia The dark descent.
That should keep you ocupied.
Any older Tom Clancy Ghost Recon series
Farcry
Farcry 2
Civilization series
Max Payne series
Company of Heroes
Mount and Blade: Warband, or the similar blast-from-the-past, Sid Meier's Pirates!: Live the Life.

Thank you everyone for the replies. I think I'll give Bioshock a try. It looks fun. I'll also give Planescape Torment another try. I keep hearing good things about it.
I also played Amnesia not too long ago.. I got like half way and I just had to stop. It was just too scary!!
I have played both of those and loved them. Darksiders is definitely an underrated game.
Chrono trigger! That game was epic! Chrono cross was good too! Umm...Legend of Mana....
Krater comes to mind as well....

Divinity 2:DKS
Risen 1 and 2
Two Worlds 2
Stalker series
Arx Fatalis
Lost Odyssey
Last Remnant
Drakensang series
Nothing else that hasn't already been mentioned comes to mind for now, all of these except perhaps Arx Fatalis are fairly modern though. In fairness to Arx though, it has extremely fun RPG mechanics and a great atmosphere, even compared to modern games. I consider the magic system one of the best i've played.
edti: I believe both Risen games have demos you can try before buying.
golden sun 1 and 2, for gameboy advanced. If you dont have one then get it with a gba emulator(visual boy advanced) for pc. Very good games and fun games. Also any rpg from the "Tales" series is awesome
Oooo, I remember that one. Was basically like a post-Morrowind upgrade to the TES formula.
There was also a rumor that if you exit the one locked door to the surface, and can survive the extreme cold damage through potions, spells and other buffs, you can get a different ending.

Did I miss it somewhere or did no one list The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings? What?! What?! WHAT?!?
You could try morrowind. In my opinion it's better than oblvion and skyrim but it might be a bit old school for you. No pointers telling you where to go, that type of thing. However, there is a graphics update (you'll have to do a search and follow the instructions) that helps. It's very large in scope with lots to discover. And you can actually join a vampire faction and do vampire quests.
Otherwise Amnesia for a very scary game
Witcher 1 and 2
Dark Messiah is pretty cool. Sort of a first person fantasy game, very beautiful and very viscious combat. Linear though.
Mass effect games.

Serph toze kindly has started a walk-through. https://youtu.be/UIelCK-lldo
I haven't checked if there's an emulator to play this or not, but Secret of Mana was one of my all-time favorites!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_of_Mana
Current fans of The Secret World will see some similarities in the "Ring Menu" system.
Hmm SP games (randomly looking through my Steam game list)....if you like RTSish type games you could check out Crusader Kings II. Really fun and deep strategy game. You might like Mount and Blade: Warband single player (MP is better for me though). Civilizaion V just came out with an expansion, although I am not a big fan of the game.
If you buy Torchlight 2, you get copy of Torchlight 1 to play in the meantime, which is a fun game imo. TL2 comes out the summer. L. A. Noire is on sale right now on Steam for $5. Really good game if you like Rockstar games or detective type stories. Whatever you do though, before you buy a game at full price, keep in mind Steam will be having a huge sale soon (their summer seal), if you aren't averse to using it. Not sure when though.
Dark Souls - Best Single Player game since Ocarina of Time. Check it.
there are snes emulators to play all snes roms(games). i had a gazillion snes roms with 2 emulators (chrono trigger and secret of mana included).
coolrom dot com for all that good old stuff
edit: and psone emulators as well like emuraiden and epsx or something like that
Mass Effect Trilogy
Batman Arkham Asylum & Arkham City (Highly recommend if you liked Assassin's Creed, hes practially a modern day assassin :P)
Dark Souls (PS3, PC uses GFWL, which is terribad)
Witcher 2, best RPG with great graphics and art style
Borderlands (open world fps rpg with a heavy loot focus like Diablo)
Bioshock series (I didn't fall in love with it, but it has a very unique style to the game, a bit of fallout gameplay, but not sandbox, and underwater city)
Indie:
Bastion (free on google chrome web store I think)
Limbo
Journey (PS3 exclusive)
If you want online gameplay but not MMO,
League of Legends
Battlefield 3 (the only online shooter I would borderline recommend, shooters have too much of dlc, premium bullshit status)
Starcraft II
How much WoW could a WoWhater hate, if a WoWhater could hate WoW?
As much WoW as a WoWhater would, if a WoWhater could hate WoW.
If you're up for an RPG, try Witcher 2 - great graphics, story and very imersive atmosphere, also challanging combat system on higher levels (not your tipical button basher, like AC). Highly recommended!
Krater. It's an RPG/RTS and you can pretty much craft anything you want. Oh and also Random Dungeons!! Because we all love that!
