I'd recommend watching random LPs, or even reviews, to see what genres or titles you're interested in.

Thirding PC since you can find cheap or free indie titles that might give you a feel for what you like. For some old freebs that are likely to run on whatever you have, I recommend checking out Cave Story (a 2D platformer/shooter designed by one guy, including the awesome music) and Yume Nikki (Kafkaesque top-down exploration game made with rpgmaker).

And just download Steam. There's demos and a bunch of free things, including TF2 if you're curious about casual fps with other people. GOG focuses on older/retro PC games) and even has a few free games to try like Beneath a Steel Sky.

Also, PS2 and NDS have huge game libraries, not even considering the extended catalog that comes with PS1 and GBA backwards compatibility respectively (only the phat and lite DS can play GBA though). The consoles aren't going to cost you nearly as much as a current gen console, or even cheaper if you buy used.

and and and if you get into consoles remember that pawn shops and libraries are your best friends.
