I have an old CD of Isabelle and was going to try it out just to see what Flotsam was so enthusiastic about. However, it won't run on my machine. So I'll just have to keep wondering. What the attraction is.

I had a CD of Isabelle also that I ordered online years ago - never got around to playing it, and sold it on eBay. Poor flotsam.

Soooo, back to the topic at hand...

How about a few more Dark Side Game lists Boomers!

I appreciate the efforts everyone. And I think Marian summed up the sentiment perfectly
If I may be self indulgent, here is my review at the time - just so you know what you are missing (actually, having read that, it probably IS a dark side game )
Here is mine

Bioshock
Dead Space 2
Divine Divinity
ES Oblivion
ES Skyrim
Fallout 3
Half Life 2
Ico
Limbo
Outcast
Portal 2
Realms of the Haunting
Witcher

Here's my dark side list:

Anachronox
Divine Divinity
Lands of Lore 1
Lands of Lore 3
Morrowind
Skyrim
System Shock 2
Witcher

OK, I appologize in advance for putting the wrong type of game in my list.
I'm sure I will learn this in time.

1. Cute Knight http://www.hanakogames.com/ckd.shtml
2. Diablo 2
3. Diablo 3
4. Elder Scrolls III - Morrowind
5. Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion
6. Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim
7. Grand Theft Auto V
8. Heroes of Might and Magic 3
9. Papers please http://papersplea.se/
10. Pixel Dungeon http://store.steampowered.com/app/365900
11. Save the Date http://paperdino.com/save-the-date/
12. Sims 4
13. Spycraft

Originally I did put Cute knight, Papers please and Spycraft on the other list but it was incorrect so I hope they fit here.

(Pixel dungeon is a game for pads originally, but it is avaliable for PC so I listed it.
I play another version of it called Shattered Pixel Dungeon, and it is possible to play in on a computer with a modulator or whatever it's called. Just wanted to add that info. )

I haven't started counting but I can tell you there is nothing on evryone's list.
Witcher pops up a lot though, and Skyrim gets more than a few mentions.
Plenty I haven't played and more than a few I haven't heard of.
Oldies include ROTH and Dungeon Keeper 2.

Gotta tell ya' Flotsam, that is a confusing statement, either that or my old age is catching up with me

Hahahaha

It was fun to separate "games I'd recommend" from my list of "favorite games". Here are 13 that I think are all worth trying. There's a bunch of Honorable Mentions that didn't make it, of course.

Anno 2070
Bioshock
Dishonored
Dwarf Fortress
Endless Space
Half-Life 2
Hexcells
Mount & Blade: Warband
Portal
Sleeping Dogs
Supreme Commander 2
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Trine (cooperative mode)

Bioshock 2
Dragon Age: Inquisition (DA:I)
Fallout 3 (And 4 when it comes out)
Star Wars: The Old Republic (SWTOR)
The Secret World (TSW)

Hi all
This is day 13 which is technically the last day, but to make sure all votes are in, and I don't stuff up a time zone or three, and also because I won't be able to count till Saturday, the thread can stay open and I will post results Sunday.
I will give a shout when its the absolutely final chance to vote

How about:

Tomb Raider 1
Tomb Raider 2
Tomb Raider 3
Tomb Raider 4 Last Revelation
Tomb Raider 5 Chronicles
Tomb Raider 6 Angel of Darkness

I love the TR games and continue to play the old ones. Hope it's okay to list them.

Thanks, Flotsam

Glad you got in Gerry

Thanks Flotsam!

Me too L4L!

Abut 18 hours to go!

Last chance - posting in a few hours

Hi all
One list follows this year, with the placings rather than votes shown.
A different number 1 from last year, but one that has finished first previously.
I have applied the rules re add-ons, GOTY etc, and tried to use full and correct titles for every game. This include using 2 or II, whatever the game itself said.
I haven't tried to use alternate titles, mainly because I don't know the games well enough, and some games have more than one such (eg Fatal Frame) so I could never be sure I got them all.
If I made an error in any of this just let me know and I will correct.
Lots to choose from, some perhaps reminders (I had personally forgotten about System Shock 2 so will be seeking it out again) and others probably new (lots of those for me).
Thanks for participating, and hopefully you will find something new to play in the next 12 months
