The webcomic Prequel, which started as a fan mspaintadventure, is becoming better. The last few updates are great.

I've found that I like platformers with very hard but short levels (so you don't lose a ton of progress when you die, and can thus die hundreds of times trying to beat a single level without getting too frustrated). Recently: League of Evil (the sequel isn't as good, unfortunately) and Super Meat Boy.

Don't go anywhere near Spelunky.

This is probably significantly simpler than any of the other suggestions or even the games you were playing, but instantly thought of Hello Worlds!, which I personally enjoyed playing through.

VVVVVV might be your cup of tea; it certainly was mine. Fantastic music too.

Super Hexagon (iOS) warps my perspective. In my first 30 minutes of playing, I managed 26 seconds.

If you liked any of the previous Counter-Strike games, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is a good (albeit conservative) update, and also quite cheap on Steam.

I've been playing The Binding of Isaac by Edmund McMillen of Super Meat Boy fame a lot lately. The gameplay is a mix of Smash TV style twin stick arena shooter and the multi-room dungeons from the original Legend of Zelda. The content is randomized, games are quick and you will die a lot. There is also a surprising amount of depth from the various random item drops that change your character. The story is a cheerful mix of deranged biblical occultism and (often literal) dead baby humor.
