Warhammer 40K Space Marine.

Play as the leader of a squad of Ultramarines. These guys are the best of the best. Killing Orks and making heads explode. Nothing better.

Total War series (Napoleon TW was my favorite)
Risen (a mature RPG, not the kind of game where you get new shinny things after each battle)
Two Worlds II (never ended it though, since the cracks didn't work after the 4th chapter)
Killing Floor (the best coop game i've ever played)
COD MW2 (i know.. i know.. still, i liked a lot when it came out - the multiplayer part. also the last GOOD cod of the series)

and that's pretty much it.. can't remember anymore..

I have every post's content (thanks to .Rar :mrgreen: ), but after googling, it seems it's too much dicking around to restore the thread and there were only a few posts in it anyway (though sorry about losing one of your long posts, .Rar), so no need for that.

---

Have 2 cool games.

Jamestown (gameplay video, Steam)
Old-school like arcade overhead shooter with super satisfying gameplay and an actual story. It feels super rewarding to beat this game. Though the last level will make you rage, believe me.

And Yet It Moves (gameplay video, Steam)
Original concept and fun to play in general. Also the game makes you feel high without actually being high in the later levels.

Well, I don't have much time to play games now, but I enjoyed the hell out of Batman: Arkham City. Great story, lots of hours put into it, enjoying the replayability ^^ I still have it on my HDD.. I doubt I will ever delete this game xD
As for others, Trine is okay I guess...
Shoot Many Robots is what keeps me entertained in the last week or so. Not much of a story, and it is repetitive as heck... Has cool weapons and items though (:
Frozen Synapse is good.
I also recommend Bastion.
I guess you already know these games :D

Frozen Synapse is a great turn based strategy game. You control units on a 2D map and give them directions like, "move here," "Aim here," "Wait."

What makes it great is that the turns are not, "You go, then I go." It's I make my plan, you make yours. Our plans go at once. We see who's not dead at the end of the turn. Repeat. The story is decent and the control over your units is the best I have seen.

Aaaah, Raptor ^^
I had forgotten about this game, thank you!
I also started a remake of the game, but I scratched it... Maybe I'll reopen the project :laughing:

Since Waats posted games from his childhood, I think I will do the same :) These are some others I really enjoyed in the PSX, back in the day.

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (PC, PSX). The story: you're Croc. You were raised by the gobbos (cute creatures that resemble fluff balls with eyes) after arriving at their island in a basket, as a baby. Life's good until one day the evil Baron Dante raids the place and kidnaps all your friends. Now it's up to you to find and free all of them throughout the game world, evade the hazards in your way, and ultimately defeat the source of all this trouble. You have four islands you must play through, each with a specific theme to it (field, snow, sand, castle), and a fifth one is unlocked depending on how well you perform. You can collect crystals which act as HP (the same way as in Sonic), and finding the five colored ones on each level grants access to a bonus room. The gameplay is pretty standard platformer fare, but I really liked it because it was fun, the game world is beautiful, and the soundtrack just as great :)

______ Image

Pitfall 3D: Beyond the Jungle (PSX). You play as Harry Pitfall, who's on an expedition in South America when somehow he manages to enter a portal and end up in a different dimension, which an evil character named the Scourge is trying to dominate, to then take over our world as well. You've got your pick-axe as a weapon, powerups, collectibles which add to your score, monsters to defeat on your way through. A memory that springs to mind: in the third level, you progress without anything noteworthy happening. Eventually you reach a puzzle where you must use some rhombus-shaped hooks to "fly" through. There you can see the spot where you started and the corridors you just went through all from above, and they're extremely distant, making you realize how much you've ascended since starting. This really surprised me the first time and still does!

______ Image

Tekken 2 (PSX). The Mishima Corporation holds the King of Iron First tournament with a million-dollar prize to the winner. The game's characters sign up in an attempt to win, some with good objectives, others with morally questionable ones. As usual in this genre, there are many fighters with unique, thematic combos, different arenas, unlockables, various game modes and of course, versus mode. I'm not particularly a big fan of fighting games, but I liked this one and also the third installment.

______ Image

Vigilante 8 (PSX). OMAR, some corporate group, wants to monopolize the oil industry, through armed combat if necessary. The police can only do so much, therefore a gang of vigilantes teams up to defeat the bad guys. After a raid on a military base, both sides get their hands on very powerful weapons, and the battle begins... you probably get the idea here. Each car has its own advantages and disadvantages, and a unique special weapon. There's a story mode where you progress through different scenarios against specific opponents, the game giving you mission objectives (e.g. "keep X building undamaged" or "you must collect item Y at least once") and telling you the reason you have to kill so much via intermission screens :lol: I liked this vehicular combat game more than Twisted Metal, maybe because it was the first one I played. There's also a sequel which basically follows the same formula, but with new cars, weapons and arenas. You also get to enhance your vehicle with "upgrade points", which are dropped by your opponents upon destruction.

______ Image

Tunnel B1 (PSX). I don't even remember the plot on this one, although I do recall there's an FMV which sort-of explains it. Anyway, you're the pilot of a sort of futuristic armed hovercraft who must defeat the final boss at the end of the tunnel, which seems to go on forever. A peculiar aspect is that your point of view is located just slightly above the floor, shifting and shaking accordingly as you move. This can be a bit disorienting at first, but then you get the gist of it. I hear Descent for the PC is similar. The game is fast paced: many objectives have time limits (having to get through a mined and patrolled highway with 10% life in less than a minute, that took me like a dozen attempts :shock:), and in general you have to kill your enemies before they get to you. Sometimes there's many of them, and the level's design plays on their favor.

______ Image

You can use the pSX to play these games in a computer. The ISOs can be downloaded from ROMulation.net, or just look them up in Google.

If you want an old platformer with a great ambient and story, play FlashBack.
Since indie developers make platformers these days, FlashBack would feel just like a new platformer game due to the fact that it never ages.

Mr.Deviance
Flashback was hard as hell. Never beat that game. Great graphics for it's time though.
If you enjoyed that game, then check out Out of this World/Another World. Same developer.

Sniper Elite V2, the demo is out on Steam, and it really impressed me. Pre-ordered it.
