Arcanum

 

Created by the company that did Fallout 1, the graphics are not good but the story is terrific. This game created crafting in games and does magic vs technology the best that it has ever been done.

 

Also, Fallout 1 & 2

Well, Vampires the Masquerade: Bloodlines was a very, very good game back when I played it.

 

The other three games I'll suggest are N.O.X., Ogre Battles: March of the Black Queen and Planescape: Torment.

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is worth playing it for the ambience alone. I've never been a big vampire fan (though I did play the PnP game for a while) but the world of Bloodlines is just wonderful to play in. Seedy, gritty, dark, gothic and creepy. It's excellent.

 

It's a shame that the game kinda starts to suck a bit gameplay-wise after the 50% mark or so. But it's definitely worth playing, a unique game.

 

Other than that, yeah... Fallout 1, Planescape: Torment, Arcanum. And GoG.com in general has tons of great, older games for very cheap. Many more or less forgotten gems there. The Ultima games, Darklands etc.

 

Amnesia was mentioned and yeah... It's great and really fucking scary. If you ever get a taste for horror games, you have to play it. Scary as hell.

I don't know if you like to play coop online.

But i recently bought Dungeon Defenders with some friends, and the game is addictive as hell.

Also the Assassins Creed games?

Assassins creed 1 is an OK. A bit repetitive.

 

AC2 improves on everything and it is very fun.

 

Brother hood is a slight improvement. It moves the story forward and offers a few new game play mechanics. new areas. new weapons, new fighting style.

 

AC: revelations. I did not play. I watched a walkthrough on youtube cause I had no desire to play it.

 

 

I hoping for an AC3: they get off the AC2-ACR story.

Once again not what you're looking for but if I was locked alone in a small room for the rest of my life give me 'Master of Orion' the original game.

 

Ah! I still play that game' date=' and Master of Magic. (I also like MOO2, but not of course 3).

 

I've always thought that If I owned a games company, I'd upgrade the MOM graphics, increase the number of worlds and opponents and release that as a sure fire winner.

i'd do the same. imagine a well done MoM with today's technological possibilities...

I like Bloodrayne 2 a lot. It has one of the hottest videogame babes Rayne, very sweet killingmoves with a lot of hilarious gore and blood, and you can play it for only 20 minutes and continue another day, cause the quests aren't that tense and the game isn't addictive. It's great to let out some anger on npcs and has a nude patch aswell.

If anyone is still interested, here's one of the best turn-based games ever made--that I thought was lost for ever. I decided to look for it again last night--and found it.

 

Turn Based Strategy Game and a member of 4x genre (eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate.)

 

It appears to have had a second life. Same old game, new people (single player or multi-player.) Good old games never die...

 

The graphics in the game are rudimentary, which is not surprising given its age. It is entirely 2D, and the graphics consist of the main map view and static pictures of planets, ship hulls and components. Even battles consist of moving unanimated icons around a grid.

 

This does have the advantage of allowing the game to run on almost any computer, and it can even be run on Linux systems through the WINE system.

 

I recommend the 2.6jrc4 download. (This game is now free.) Look around the links/connected sites and find a player's manual and a guide etc. Make a folder and put everything in there to make it work.

 

It was written by Jeff Johnson and Jeff McBride with help from Jeffrey Krauss (collectively known as the Jeffs) and published in 1995. It has kept people addicted for years, and still supports a loyal player community.)

 

Here's a good quote: 'Haven't figured out how to answer the poll. But I'm over 50 and my son is 21. He remembers me playing this game way back when. I lost it sometime ago but he always heard me say it was the best strategy game ever. So, he found this stuff and all, so I could play again. Smile And he's playing it with me which is just great!'

 

Enjoy

Favorite RPG: Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines

 

Favorite RTS: Starcraft series

 

Favorite MMO: A Tale In The Desert or pre-CU SWG ;)

 

Favorite TBS: pretty much anything by Avalon Hill

 

Favorite FPS: the original Quake

 

Those are all the games that I got enormous amount of enjoyment from in relation to the cost of owning the game. Well worth it.
