Hi all, Off we go on our annual shady listing. From today, you now have 13 days to list 13 Dark Side games that other people should play. It doesn't matter what you list, so long as its dark, and you reckon someone should play it. Even though its dark, there are rules: 1. You can recommend a maximum of 13 games, but are allowed to recommend less. 2. You can't list a series, unless you use single votes for each game. 3. Expansion packs, DLC, GOTY releases etc are all considered the same game - just vote for eg Fallout 3 and ignore all its available added on bits. 4. Consistent with 3, enhanced editions, directors cuts etc are also considered the same game. 5. Any "dark" game (ie not pure adventure or casual) can be listed, irrespective of genre. 6. You don't have to indicate the type or genre, and you are not limited to any specific number of games in any genre. Go ahead and list 13 fps' if you want to. 7. It is essentially a pc list (the system not the games), but given that many players have other systems, if you want to list some games for those go ahead. If you can list alphabetically it helps me count, and please use full names if possible so I don't get them mixed up. I will ask if I get confused. See ya in 13 days (not counting little updates along the way)

Okay, here goes:
Deus Ex Dishonoured Dragon Age: Origins Dragon Age 2 (so that you can get the whole story carried over through all three games) Dragon Age: Inquisitor Fallout3 Half Life 2 Mass Effect Mass Effect 2 Mass Effect 3 Skyrim System Shock 2 Witcher
Thanks!
I meant to add that I am forcing myself to let go of some of my old favourites and move on to more recent (for me) games. Couldn't let go of Deus Ex, though.

Obviously a game one should avoid at all costs!

Come on, Boomies. Out with it! Get those Dark Side lists in.
