    Recommend me a new game

    Right I'm looking for a new game to down... I mean buy.

    My all time favourite games are in no particular order:

    X-Com series (YAAAAAY! ROOCKS!)
    Baldur's Gate (excluding BG II)
    MOHAA & Call of Duty
    Half Life
    ......

    I've played most games, and usually I just get bored in the same day, so I'm looking for a good story, awesome music + audio and nice atmosphere. I like dark atmosphere in games, but it has to be intense and good.

    What can you recommend me? Oh, and it doesn't have to be new as in released this year. Just some new game I haven't played.
    In da butt.

      I wouldn't say I didn't like BG2, I just felt that it didn't offer enough, because the original BG was too good in the first place. It was OK I guess, but it doesn't get to be my all time favourite games.

      I've been checking out this coming game, Stalker.. looks pretty good... And naturally Half Life 2.

              Have you played Silent Storm? It lacks the strategic part of X-Com, but for tactical combat it is absolutely the best. You'll cream your pants.

              *sigh* If only they would make an X-Com game using the same engine.

                Do you need CD-keys to play online with the expansion packs? I only have the CDs for the original game.

                  Silent Storm.. sounds very familiar.. I think I've tried it since it sounds VERY familiar. Oh yeah now I remember... reminded me of Jagged Alliance.. I didn't like it Everyone praised it, I kind of didn't like it....

                    Walk the plank, you enemy of the honest hardworking Atari shareholders!

                      What, so you like Baldur's Gate, but not Baldur's gate 2, and you like X-Com, but not Silent storm??

                      Go play pong or something.


                      Or you could try UFO: Aftermath - it's also lacking in the strategy part, and it's tactical combat isn't as good as Silent Storm, but it is more similiar to X-Com.



                      Oh, and Jamski, I bought the orginal on the day of release - that has to count for something.

                        That only gives you a slightly broader plank to walk.

                        Pekka, you do seem very difficult to please, especially with your BG , BGII oddity. Just go to the games shop on a Saturday, play the game of your choice that night and on Sunday, and return it on Monday if it suXXors. Try not to do this too often at the same shop though.

                          Might I suggest Planescape:Torment?
