That's a lot of games.... what type of game are you in the mood for? Braid, Black and White, Half Life 2, Dungeon Siege, Indigo Prophecy - those are all pretty good and very different from one another.Quote:

Halflife 2 is a bitch to get running so I'm not even going to bother and I've beaten Dungeon Siege 1 and 2. I'll have to look up the other 2, I know I've heard the names but can't remember anything about them.
Have you ever seen Network?
They were both pretty good -I prefer the first, but the second is totally serviceable.Quote:

IKR? I had always heard about how great the movie was, and it was nominated for a crapload of awards back in the day, so I just assumed it was a deadly serious movie. First time I saw it I wasn't expecting it to be a really dark comedy, but I was pleasantly surprised.Quote:

No I haven't seen it, if it's like Network then I'll watch it.
Anyway, I'm off now ttyl.
Good movie - hard to find though.Quote:

Braid - Flave just mentioned that, I'll look around and nab it.
Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 - :PP
Deus Ex - Beaten.
Grim Fandango - hmmm maybe.
Half-Life/Half-Life 2 - Might run through the first one again :thot: the 2nd is a bitch to get running properly.
Heroes of Might & Magic III (better with a buddy) - never played any of them and might pass on this.
Hitman 2 & 3 - Downloading now :P
Machinarium (fairly simple adventure game, you might have grabbed recently off PS+. Can't remember when it was listed.) - Yeah def grabbed it on the PS3.
Mafia (I never played the first one, but the second one was pretty good) - I've tried it and it was horrid.
Max Payne/Max Payne 2 - Beaten.
Myst (any of them, they're all great) - Never really liked these games for some reason.
Psychonauts (says here it runs in 800x600 w/Medium Details) - Always wanted to try and will look up.
Rayman (if you like platformers, which I don't remember if you do or not) OF COURSE I DO!!! I'll grab it too :D
Red Faction 2 - Good idea I must have skipped by it on the list.
Serious Sam/Serious Sam 2 - Beaten
Shadowman - no idea
Star Trek/Star Wars (I'm sure at least one of those games are worthwhile playing, but I've never touched any of them) - These are staples for me and will most likely grab all of them again.
Morrowind/Oblivion (sounds like there's a workaround to get Oblivion running) I've had nothing but headaches getting these to run. I got Morrowind going good once but by then I couldn't care less :lol
The Sims (admit it, you love these games) - Simcity 4 was the first game I grabbed!!!! Don't like the actual Sims games (I won't even clean my own toilet for gods sakes!!!!)
Worms Armageddon (best with buddy, but still fun by yourself in short bursts) - another one of those over the years that I've yet to try..
XIII - good game and never beaten it so I think I'll grab it.
Also, a couple of DOS games that I liked that you might get a bit of enjoyment out of if you can find them (might take some tweaking to get them working properly, or at least running in DOSbox):
Raptor: Call of the Shadows (very accessible shmup) :top:
Cyberdogs (top down futuristic "dungeon crawler") - Not my bag baby!
The Incredible Machine (problem solving obstacle courses, essentially) -Dunno
DOOM (you can never go wrong with DOOM, I don't even need to link to gameplay footage) Yeah I'll probably grab just to have around as they're pretty tiny, I might even grab Doom3 again.
Hocus Pocus - I'll have a look
Catacomb Abyss - " "
Commander Keen - :P
Thanks for the suggestions!!! I may give MAchinarium a shot on PC and see what it's like on that.
I really enjoyed Machinarium, but those kind of point and click adventure games definitely feel cumbersome on the consoles. If you don't have fun with it on PC, you straight up won't enjoy it. I was getting slightly annoyed with the cursor when I played through it on PS3, mainly because a mouse would have been so much better.
Fuck, I really want to go on a DOS game spree right now. :dread:
Also it looks like I could run Fallout 3 with some tooling around. Been itching to play that again so that ones going near the top I think
Yeah I only got so far with it on the PS3 and was relegated to the indie no play list :PQuote:
