Try out; The Witcher 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas or Team Fortress 2 - they're all quality games ^^;

I am really loving Limbo atm. It's a cool little indie platformer/puzzle game that you can pick up for 10 bucks on Steam.

They're handing out closed beta keys on Facebook and Twitter, and randomly to anyone signed up on their website.

Looks awesome.

Why not get one of Bethesda's games? Fallout 3 or Oblivion will give you a huge amount of play time, and replayability and are super cheap on steam. Just mod oblivion first because the game is so much better with it! (at least get Oscura's Oblivion Overhaul and a ui mod...because the ui is console style and sucks)

I strongly suggest everyone who hasn't played it give it a go, the graphics are dated but it's truly one of the greatest video game masterpieces out there.

Don't play Deus Ex 2 though, it's really terrible lol. The new one due out in the next month looks freakin amazing though

Apparently this mod was just released for Deus Ex.

New Vision basically replaces around 75% of the textures for the game to bring them up to today's standards. Still blocky as game, but apparently it looks a tonne better.

Out now/Old Skool:
BF Bad Company 2
Deus Ex 1 (goty)
Try a sports game if you like em. Nice break. I like NBA2k11
World of Tanks (it's free)
Anything Fallout
The Witchers are good
Dragon Age 1 (not 2 from what I hear)

Coming Soon:
Deus Ex Rev - played it @ E3 and it looks awesome
Battlefield 3
D3
SWTOR (can't believe no one said this)

[EXCL]

Serious Sam. nuf said.

[AxSGRiM]

Try Urban Terror, it's a free FPS that was originally a mod for Q3 but now it's a standalone game that (although lacking in the graphics aspect) is amazingly fun.

Persoanlly when I'm too tired to play I prefer to go offline and get one of my old favourite RPGs out. I actually love a game called Exile 3 from my childhood, really great RPG if you don't mind a really clunky game with alot of great text dialogue :P. It's like 3MB to download or something :P.

I actually just restarted playing Morrowwind the greatest RPG of all time :P. Of course what I like in an RPG is great atmosphere and lots and lots of text dialogue so its just like reading a book but with special effects.

Online games: definitely just play something in the COD series or some other FPS very little thought needed :P.


P.S. If none of these suggestions are something you like you should really just go give your life up and play wow :P

Oooooo, offline RPG's

I like the Baldur's Gate series, and the KOTOR's (long live Bioware).

Also XCOM:Enemy Unknown (AKA UFO). got multiple votes of Game of the Century by various magazines not long ago. I bought all the XCOM games as a pack for $2- off Steam last year.

Quick Comments

	PiG:	Baldurs gate so complex so well-made :)
	Maynarde:	BG and BG2 + Expansion = some of my favourite games to date <3

[Kringe]

Nobody here but one has said anything about the best game going round classic old Cod either 4 or 6 and certaintly diablo 3 when it comes out
Also, a great game is Duty calls cheap on steam a good 30 mins of hilarious old fun xD

[Malik]

HOI3 (with expansions), CoH, any of the battlefields though the bad company ones were relatively disappointing imo (but better then COD ^^)

[Nuri]

Try the age of empires series I reckon its the best imo

Loved the AOE series!
And I would sometimes play those old Red Alerts and C&C series. Still play Tiberium Sun once in a while xD
Oh yeah and as Halstrom said, KOTOR! Long live Bioware haha

Right now I'm on Portal 2, pretty interesting

Tiberium Sun **** yes!

[|Erasmus|]

Also, World of Goo is a pretty fun puzzle game.

[cruxis]

From my brief glimpse, I see no one has mentioned the greatest game of all time...

The Legend of Zelda:Ocarina of Time.

Puzzle Adventure. Greatest game to have ever been created.

Definitely a great game, but I wouldn't recommend replaying games from that generation (read: classic games) that are filled with huge amounts of nostalgic goodness... because you may realise that they don't live up to the picture your nostalgia has painted of them...

Talking from experience here, booted up my SNES the other day to mess around on some old classics... and yeah, wasn't pretty.

[ToRDeathsFang]

I love relaxing with a good MMO game. Atm i'm playing Oblivion and Dragon Age 2. All thoughts of stress gone out the window ^_^

What i DO NOT recommend playing when stressed is Amnesia all though that should be pretty obvious. Scariest shit ever ._____________.

[Estancia]

Dead space 2.
Play at night, full volume, alone and off all the light.
