Im back
Divine Divinity leads the way with Morrowind close behind. They are the only games with 10 or more recommendations.
Games with more than 5 recommendations include Baldurs Gate 1 and 2, Gothic 1 and 2, Neverwinter Nights, Outcast, Splinter Cell and Sims 2.
Nearly 150 games have been mentioned, give or take an expansion pack.
We are about halfway.

good to see you back, that's impressive come on folks give us your 13 cents worth..

Ingie

Not in any particular order

1 Big Kahuna Reef 2 Chain Reaction (puzzle/action)
2 Luxor (puzzle/action)
3 Kingdom of Loathing (online RPG)
4 Neverwinter Nights (RPG)
5 Knights of the Old Republic (RPG)
6 Oblivion - Elder Scrolls 4 (RPG)
7 Black and White 2 (Strategy/God game)
8 Dungeon Keeper 2 (Evil is good!)
9 Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines (RPG)
10 Painkiller (FPS)
11 The Movies (Tycoon/Sim)
12 Divine Divinity (RPG)
13 Sacred Plus (RPG)

My darkside has lots of little outlets, doesn't it?

In no particular order, and not the full 13 because I've not liked enough of the Dark Side games I've played:

Tomb Raider I
Tomb Raider II
Diablo II
Fable TLC
Zanzarah
Anachronox
Prince of Persia, Sands of Time
Prince of Persia, The Two Thrones
Dragonriders of Pern

Gremlin

(edited to fix PoP, T2T. Thanks Hugh!)

Divine Divinity
Beyond Divinity
Fable
Sacred
Sacred Plus
Zanzarah
Heretic Kingdoms: The Inquisition
Diablo II
The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion

Ana

Gremlin, isn't it 'the two thrones?' I think 'the two towers' is from Lord of the rings

Up to here.
BTW, am inspired to get into rpg so baaged Divine Divinty (dvd), Morrowind, Sacred Plus and Neverwinter Nights yesterday for princely total of $19.
If that doesn't make me a convert nothing will.

great job there flotsam, you have some great games and hours of playing ahead of you at a wonderful price!!!

Ingie

I know, you're right. It's an unconscious mistake I keep making!

Gremlin

Wow, Flotsam, that is a whole lot of gameplay for the money spent! Have fun!

Wow, you're right that if that lot doesn't convert you, nothing will. That's good mix from fast action (Sacred) to the slow but extremely real world feel of Morrowind. NWN just the original or with expansions?

Just the original Pib. Now I just have to decide which to start with
On things listy, we said 13 nights so I will aim to post final results Sunday morning my time. Schwab35 is going to genre list, which may come later depending on how co-ordinated we can be.
So get those recommendations in.

My two cents would be to start with Divine Divinity then NeverWinter Nights. Then if you want to kick action into high gear, go for Sacred. If you want more depth and slower play, it's time for Morrowind.

Painkiller
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
Sacred
Divine Divinity
World of Warcraft
Everquest 2
Anachronox
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
Guild Wars
Planescape Torment
The Sims 2
F.E.A.R.
Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines

The time has come.
I will post final lists this Sunday morning my time, so get your recommendations in.
Here is my short and rpg deprived list - next year I promise I will have played enough to include a few.

Ico
Outcast
Realms of the Haunting
FEAR
Half Life
Half Life 2
Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy
Deus Ex
Twinsuns Odyssey

argh, only 13! I've been Darksiding A LOT more these days and it's getting harder to narrow the list down. And I can't believe I'm actually recommending 2 games that are fairly hard and only have checkpoints to save at. I use to hate those kind of games. But if you can actually make it thru King Kong and POP Sands of Time it is some of the most satisfying fellings of accomplishment and exhileration ever.(and FUN TOO) In other words; What a rush!

1) Doom 3
2) Unreal 2: The Awakening
3) Chronicles of Riddick
4) The Wheel of Time
5) Drakan
6) Prince of Persia: Sands of Time
7) Thief Gold
8) Thief 3: Deadly Shadows
9) Blair Witch 1:Rustin Parr
10) Silent Hill 3
11) Outcast
12) Splinter Cell 2: Pandora Tomorrow
13) King Kong

wow flotsam. u played Indigo Prophecy?

Sure did Hugh although if I never see another "simon says" sequence I won't miss it.

A query.
The original release of Silent Hill 2 appears to be a slightly different version from Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams. The first is a playstation exclusive release, the latter for other platforms including pc.
They are pretty much the same game, but I am going to list it as Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams unless one of the persons who listed it says they specifically wanted the playstation original version.
