The John DeFoe Quadrilogy (PC): Probably the best adventure game series I have played in an exceptionally long time. Superb story, amazing depth, top notch graphics and gameplay and an ending that is awesome. And the only adventure game series that will force you to think quickly (and make me suppress a scream :p).
All four are free to download.

Thanks for the recomendation. 5 Days a Stranger was a very nice game, so I'll now be moving on to 7 Days a Skeptic.

Only my pleasure - I loved that series and I plan to buy the 'special editions' when I get a stable income again.

How about a reason why, H2O? This is not sarcasm, this is me inviting you to elaborate why a person should choose this game over every other game out there.

Anywhoo, Now that is is out on the PC and I have completed it (Cleric must be ****ing in his pants with the amount of evangelizing I am doing for this game)..

Braid: A puzzle platformer that requires time manipulation. There are no 'cheap' tricks or diabolical puzzles (like Chip's Challenge). All that is required is a bit of brain power and some lateral thinking. The final level is pure genius in terms of execution and the end sequence left me with my jaw open.

The puzzle's themselves range from dead simple to perfect timing. There is no punishment for dying (just reverse time), no score deduction if you 'die', no restarting of entire levels because you f**ked up one small thing. Each puzzle piece that you collect can be dealt with separately and if you are too gatvol of a level, you can just go through the door and do it later.

And before I forget it in the mists of time:
Space Rangers 2: It is exceedingly hard to classify what this game is so I will go by what it is similar to. Think Freelancer, top down - you can be a pirate, merchant, bounty hunter, soldier etc. The ultimate goal is to rid the galaxy of the Dominators, a race of sentient robots. Regardless of your actions, the Dominators will continue to invade the galaxy and the people in the galaxy will continue to fight them off.

You can buy weapons, ships, ship parts and goods to trade to upgrade your ship and either give you more speed or a better edge against the pirates and your enemies.

What makes this game unique are the other aspects of this game. Apart from the Freelancer/Privateer/Elite primary gameplay there are other types of games you play, each no less poor quality. When you go through a wormhole you fight Dominator ships in a Arcade like shooter. When you attempt to free a planet from the Dominators you play a Real Time Strategy where you need to hold control points. When you are arrested (or other certain side quests) you play a text based adventure game.

I still cannot believe I bought this game for R100 in the bargain bin at CNA so many years ago

Kensei... linky to buy it... pretty please? You've sold me.

Yes, it is a brilliant game, but you forgot it comes with Space Rangers 1 included as well ;)

The text based adventures were my favourite but at one point I took to hunting down the other Rangers, by tracking where they were in the galaxy.
Oooh, I lied, my favourite part has to be the 'Call-to-Arms' where you get a news update, for Rangers to help the military free a system and then you basically end up to a huge Space Battle, where more often, than not, the military&Rangers loose and you have to run like hell! XD

Oh man, I'm going to play it again now...

[riezo]

Uhm let me look back, Rockman 1 - 3 (Megaman), Mortal Kombat Trilogy, Super Mario Galaxy, Heart of Darkness, Metal Gear Solid (2,3,4 I missed the first one dammit), Resident evil 1 - 5.

[Cleric]

@riezo: Would LOVE to play Heart of Darkness again. Just can't find it anywhere.

[riezo]

@ cleric: I still got my ps1 copy aaaaah those black bottomed beauties.....

[Sir PaniCore]

Yo whats a better buy Fallout 3 or Dead space.

[Squirly]

What are you looking for? Fallout 3 has more replay value, but Dead Space is better in the thrills department.

[Cleric]

I would recommend Deadspace over FO3 20x over, but that's because I really just don't get the FO. I know so many people who swear FO3 is the greatest thing since chocolate, but I found Deadspace so much better. Engrossing, rich, wonderful atmosphere, interesting combat mechanics, excellent zeo-grav sections, and the best sound I've ever heard in a game.

[riezo]

I must get Dead Space, people are singing its praises and I overlooked it.

[Ryn]

Dead space is an ace game, except for the fact that you can only finish it twice and then it becomes boring ( only a little bit)

[Wanbalans]

Dawn of War 2
FEAR 2
Left 4 Dead is amazing
and would go for Dead Space

[Kensei]

Dawn of War 2
FEAR 2

and would go for Dead Space

Why?

Give us reasons for why we should play these games?

What makes FEAR 2 more special than all the other FPS' out there?
Why is Dead Space better than say Doom 3
Why is Left 4 Dead the preferred multiplayer game, in your opinion, when I still see people eagerly playing Worms?

[TiNRiB]

I'm looking for a FPS on 360.

I missed most of the big releases recently, was thinking about Far Cry 2, but I'm undecided. What do you recommend? Preferably something with a good single player campaign.

Feel free to add good budget titles! ;)

[Cleric]

Bioshock 1st and foremost, followed by COD4.

Bioshock is the last FPS I bought... Is COD4 on Budget yet?

[Bonezmann]

Kind thanks :p.

If it's the one one the PS1, with the kid who has to save his dog... I have it, although I don't have a PS1 atm I still play it every now and then on an emulator. You should check for ::cough:: iso downloads ::cough::

I recommend Mirror's Edge for those who didn't buy it yet, it's a really fun and fast paced game. You really need to think fast, and the colors are nice too. Furthermore what seperates it from other FPgames is that the focus isn't on killing an army of enemies, but rather avoiding them. It's also the fourth game I EVER completed without using cheats/trainers, there were some really tough times though. :)
