It's cool to have a break from competitive gaming once in awhile and play some good old singe player. Last week I checked out Modern Warfare2 SP for the first time and I must admit it is as good as in the first part. Though game online is way worse than MW1. It was fun for me to play it in single way more than in multi! I wonder if you guys played games that in some way got you involved or immersed. Like you lost track of time or something I'd like to check out something worth the time and effort to play.

For me games that stood out were;

MW1 and MW2 - short but very entertaining campaigns with movie like action

Starcraft1 (original campaign, expansion wasn't that good) - great mood, music, stroy

Planescape Torment - perhaps greatest story ever told in a game imo; while game was dumbed own version of Baldurs Gate the story itself was very entertaining for me and perhaps it was most emotionally involving game I played!

Red Alert 1 & 2 - you gotta love those Westwood cinematics and i enjoyed a bit more darker mood of RA1 compared to farce of RA3

Baldurs Gate - story evolved around you and exploring it was fun

Half-Life - you just got sucked into it from the start

Gothic - cumbersome controls; but great story!

Jedi Outcast - you can force abuse teh evil stormtroopers and swing lightsabers; not a bad story too

Fallout1 - epic story, even more epic music and mood

diablo1&2 - simple story; linear- but still addictive game with great atmosphere/music/playability

doom1&2 - explore mars station then save earth from holocaust from pixelated monsters; hasn't lost its appeal

avp1&2 marine campaigns - you're left alone, with motion detector just like in the movie all I can say is oohhhhh shittt, cool to play at night

Max Payne

17/20

Any newer games you know that maybe could live up to these story telling standards?

[doctorfunk]

CoD1
CoD2
Half Life 2
Doom 3
Rome Total War, but can be laggy as hell when you do big wars

I thought about checking these out too;
On every top100 games list I can find Rome Total War; is it that good, huh?

are we talking just pc games or any platform?

dunno, it would be most useful since everyone has a pc xD

btw

Doom1&2; I only played them like 5 years ago and they were still awesome; it's a pixel on pixel and there isn't really much story but I liked it anyways; somehow killing alien monsters while going by corpses of my fellow humans were appealing to me; I knew I had to stop them from destroying the Earth!

ye well I will have to plan this somehow
also Wiedzmin and DrangonAge are high on my list

the campaign of Rome Total War is fricken addictive, it's hard to stop playing it because you want to continue your moves for next round AND CONQUER THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!

but if you do custom battles with a grand army it might start to lag, i usually let the computer fight my battles because it's a waste of time if you gonna do them all and they ain't so fun to pursue because you cant do THAT much in terms of strategics & tactics

[l'ANGELINOOO `]

Warcraft 3 + the frozen throne was a nice game on SP, starcraft 1 aswell indeed

[doctorfunk]

btw im surprised nobody besides me listed Fallout1
I mean it is better than Fallout3 in every aspects except graphics
What kind of RPG game is that when you meet annoying kids you can't kill em?
Though I admit; slow mo- V.A.T.S were very cool. Also I liked enclave radio with
Malcolm McDowell as president.

[HighNesZ]

I heard it has coop, does SP experience translates well when you play with a friend?\

btw played Far Cry 1 which was highly rated but to me it was 'only' good, while Far Cry2 is average at best; I'm killing these back persons and I don't even know why and missions were damn boring/repetitive needless to say didn't finish it.

[HighNesZ]

co-op and single are the same since you allways walk with 4 guys and your co-op mate is just one of those 4 guys.

So yes it translate good

+best played with xbox controller on pc


(Talking about it made me install this game again )

Dragon Age 1 is worth a try

but the Dragon Age 2 is shit (stupid story, endless fights - atleast on expert difficulty)
