God, every single game recommended in this thread is awful. You people really know how to pick em. Deus Ex? Really? It's 2008, I'd have hoped people's balls would have dropped by now.

Re: Suggest me games
Have you tried Stalker? The game is one year old, has a good atmosphere and interesting environments. It's not a "kill everything moving" game and killing people is not as easy as in most FPS games (taking on multiple enemies can be quite difficult)Originally posted by Colonâ„¢
It broadly has to be broadly action-oriented. I doesn't need to be a killing-fest, but at least some adrenaline had to be pumped.
It has to have a good dose of immersion and atmosphere, with interesting and believable environments.
It's about single player for me. If the game has got good multiplayer as well, so much the better, but it's not the reason I'm getting it.
The game does have a multiplayer mode, but there's nothing special about it, just the usual deathmatch and team deathmatch (and a third type not many plays)

That's a very differing selection of games, actually. You'll probably like some a lot and others not too much, depending on your tastes in FPS, they're really different.Originally posted by Colonâ„¢

That's basically it. You pay them by credit card, they give you a link to download the installation file, you do, then run the file. The D2D versions are different than the retail versions in that there is no disk check, and this means the patches need to be different as well, but in this particular case it doesn't matter. The GOTY edition is the final patched version. I do think you miss out on the soundtrack disk that comes with the hard copy of the game, but you can extract all the music from the game with the right software if you want.Originally posted by Colonâ„¢
How does Direct2Drive work? Do I download the installation file(s) and be done with it?Age and treachery will defeat youth and skill every time.Comment

They do, but those are different atmospheres, too. CoD4 has the modern warfare atmosphere, Stalker is more of a post-apocalyptic thing, FEAR is a horror atmosphere. The gameplay of all games also differs rather considerably IMO.Solver, WePlayCiv Co-Administrator

Finished Beyond Good & Evil: loved it. This was the kind of game I was hoping to catch up with.
Began playing Doom 3. Doesn't seem all that bad. There's some annoying stuff, but it's very scary.DISCLAIMER: the author of the above written texts does not warrant or assume any legal liability or responsibility for any offence and insult; disrespect, arrogance and related forms of demeaning behaviour; discrimination based on race, gender, age, income class, body mass, living area, political voting-record, football fan-ship and musical preference; insensitivity towards material, emotional or spiritual distress; and attempted emotional or financial black-mailing, skirt-chasing or death-threats perceived by the reader of the said written texts.Comment

It's scary for the first hour. Then the 'oh look I'm unable to hold both a gun and a flashlight and that cupboard up there looks like it might have zombies that might come out at me if I walk past it' gameplay gets rather dull.Comment

The only time I got the "dreads" in Doom 3 was when I'd come to a large lit area, and I just knew there was going to be a massive fight as soon as I stepped into the center. The rest I didn't find scary at all, it only went for startling.Age and treachery will defeat youth and skill every time.Comment

Serious Sam and Serious Sam second encounter are masterpieces. Serious Sam 2's not as good unfortunately. I would recommend the first two.
Great action, great humour, replayability (it's repetitive oldskool fragging but it never gets annoying throughout the game), sweet weapons. And the co-op multiplay is a lot of fun. I used to play co-op races (first team to finish the entire game wins) back in the days I called in at LAN parties. One of my best gaming memories of all time
