Looking for recommendations.

I highly recommend Ogre Battle (PSX or SNES, but the SNES version is faster).

Good luck finding it though...

Ogre Battle was great. Wesnoth is very similar and free for download with an active community making campaigns for it.

And on the Command and Conquer games, I'm going to have to go with Generals:Zero Hour as my favorite.


RTS-wise, FEAR is awesome single player and for multiplayer you can always go mash friends in BF1942:Desert Combat.
 
Some of my favorites...

Baldurs Gate 2: Shadows of Amn
Dungeon Keeper 2
Rage of Mages 2: Necromancer
Majesty
Warlords Battlecry 2

I thought it was lacking, and i figured out that the main char was the girls child almost immediately.

Yay for thin plots!

I did manage to keep myself amused for a few hours seeing how many interesting ways i could pin people to the walls with that stake-gun though... yay ragdoll physics.

Sweet game... I liked the way you could 'motivate' some of your minions by beating the shit out of them... There was one thing that really annoyed me: whenever I forgot to lock up the torture chamber those mistress biatches began hogging the room so when I wanted to torture some valiant hero I had to pry one of them off the rack with a crowbar.... I had the game on one of those game collection cds and it got cracked from the inside out, yeah the crack started in the hole in the middle and after using it like that a few times it was blown to bits inside the CD unit... I had to take the thing a part to get all the pieces out...
A damn good game, well worth it's money.
 
"Ass clowns 5:The final punchline" was awesome. Anyone played it?

I've already considered Planescape and Arcanum, mind you.

I would go first on Baldur's Gates(they are old games but it's so much easier than PsTorment, at first), the PC ones of corse, and if you like it's combat, then to SWKotOR's, preferably the first(+Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dales), if you like more of the RPG then Planescape.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War is a classic already.

That it is. And if you wont mind the lousy graff, I would say so is StarCraft too.

X-Com: UFO Defense

Just got to ask have you tried the UFO Aftershock, It's like Fallout Tactics, kinda blended with a really good real time combat, and it works :!:
I recomend it to every one.

Galactic Civilization, the only thing that I can say, is that Master of Magic was so much better than any of the others in this genre that I can imagine to play, with it's strategy combat, with real stats.++ Once you get Mortu to kill the Great Worms, you know what I mean. 8)
 
I would recommand Jagged Alliance 2 and System Shock 2. Swat 4 is great if you're searching for a coop experience too.

No, it doesn't, it sucks monster Godzilla balls. That game would have been wunderbar if it weren't for the horrible RT combat.
 
I can definately re-reccomend system shock 2. One of my Favourite games of all time. Cyborg Mid-wives.... sweet jebus, wear brown pants.

Deus Ex 1. My actual favourite game of all time. Just superb in every way, a must play. Don't play the sequel though, it was developed in parrallel for the x-box + PC and got shafted for it. (Hope that doesn't foreshadow the Development of F3 for the 360 and PC)

Interested in RTS's? Total Annihilation still holds up today. Great fun, still got active community on the go.

The X-Com series, again. X-Com apocalypse will run on modern PC's more easily than the first two. I rather liked UFO Aftermath and Aftershock. The Real Time combat took some getting used to but once you did it was serviceable.

A few people have mentioned Galactic Civillisations. Very good game, but if you like that and want to go real "hard core" (i hate myself sometimes) then try Space Empires IV, available over Steam. Epic galactic conquest game with almost endless possibilites, very complex at times, and micromanaging hell gets in the way in mid-late game.

Master of Orion 2, is the most enjoyable Civ type game i have ever played, a bit dated now (Ok very dated) but still amazingly playable, will suck your life away. (Don't play MOO 3 though, utter tripe)

Thats all i can think at the moment, it's early and i need coffee.

Cheers
Sven

I don't know much about the Silent Hill series except that they are survival-horror and on the consoles. In that vein, Resident Evil 4 is an outstanding game.

This man is correct. It's story line is a little weak compared to Silent Hill, but the game's fun, and easy to get into.
