Other Games / board game suggestions?

Short of the occasional trivia game or the typical games you can find on the walmart shelf, I've sort of stopped playing board games as an adult. But I'm looking to get back into it. Unfortunately, I don't know much about board games or where is the best place to start looking, and there's so many choices.
Is there a particular website or other forum that board gamers know is the best for listing the breadth of games out there, reviewing the games, and allowing me to learn how the game is played (so I can decide for myself)? Maybe I could youtube some gameplay videos eventually, once I've narrowed the choices down a bit.
I'm open to anything, including card based games with no board I guess, but preferably 3+ players and I'm roughly thinking of something like the Dungeon! Fantasy Boardgame that I used to play as a kid and no longer own. But maybe if I were to play that as an adult I wouldn't find it deep/strategic enough? Is there anything like that but better?

Other games types I used to like that come to mind are Stratego, Treasure Hunt (though there's not much strategy to it, I liked the high concept), and Axis & Allies (for a while, until it became a bit rote because the best strategy is pretty much the same every time you play it). But anyway, I'm mostly just looking to be pointed in the right direction.
