If you want to use your iPad like a GPS, or simply map out your route before you get into the car, Google Maps is definitely one of the must-have apps on the App Store. Apple's Maps app would certainly win the award for prettiest, by Google Maps is still the most functional.
Chivalry Medieval Warfare Black Mesa Diablo (any/all of them) Starcraft (both of them, or just 2) Torchlight 2 Path of Exile STALKER SoC, CS, and CoP Amnesia The Dark Descent Half Life 2 + Episodes 1 & 2 Crysis That's just a handful of PC exclusives (a couple former exclusives, still generations better on PC) mostly from recent years. Also, yeah, if you've got a decent rig, get all multiplats on PC. Better by default. Better graphics, even if the PC version doesn't get significant enhancements, simply by virtue of resolution and framerate. Higher framerates are just about a guarantee if your system is even halfway decent.
Plus you can always plug in a controller for any games that you might feel more comfortable with that way. A handful of big name multiplats that have significantly enhanced PC versions. GTA 4 Max Payne 3 Skyrim Crysis 2 Sleeping Dogs Batman AA and AC (ESPECIALLY AC) Metro 2033 Alan Wake Fallout 3 Fallout New Vegas Portal/Portal 2 Left 4 Dead 2 Battlefield 3 Mass Effect Trilogy That should be more than enough to get you started. Have the application Steam is going to be a must in my opinion.
Always keep your eye for for sales at Amazon and GMG too. Too be honest, there are some must have titles that you're going to want to play and then other titles that will peak your interest when you list expect it. If you like strategy games there are a handful of classics and some recent additions. I personally love Starcraft 2, Anno 2070, and Civilization V. There are tons of competitive first-person shooters. One that is still addictive and easy to jump into is Counter Strike: Global Offensive. That game single handedly rekindle my love for the genre.

Battlefield 3 is great on the PC by the way! There are some games I think a lot of people passed and one is Metro 2033. If you want an immersive experience and are fan of story driven FPS games this one will definitely intrigue you.
MMORPG are all going free to play; in fact you'll find some that are free to download as well(like the upcoming Neverwinter). World of Warcraft is still going strong and Guild Wars 2 is easily one of the best experiences you'll have. The Secret World may peak your interest if you're not into the fantasy setting. If you decided to just go hardcore, there's always EVE Online.
I agree with everyone else about multiplatform titles; the PC verisons are just superior and don't be afraid to play with a controller either. Games like Devil May Cry, Far Cry 3, and Skyrim play well on the PC. No to mention they just look better. Especially for Skyrim, the mod community is amazing.
Don't pass up other RPGs like the Witcher 2. And follow the indie develop, especially on Kickstarter. Minecraft is still fun, FTL is pretty addicting(although brutal), Chivalry is just butter.I can go on.
