It's hard to get it down to only 13. Alltho most of these were on last year's list too.
No particular order.
1) Outcast 2) Unreal 2: The Awakening 3) Prince of Persia: Warrior Within 4) The Chronicles of Riddick 5) Thief Gold 6) American McGees Alice 7) Max Payne 8) Nocturne 9) No One Lives Forever 10) Splinter Cell 11) Silent Hill 2 12) Drakan: Order of the Flame 13) Doom 3
Playing Zanzarah right now and actually liking it. It's probably the closest I'll ever get to playing a game with some RPG elements in it. I'm more of just a shooter fan.

My list never really seems to change, except for the order, which is meaningless.
RPG's I will never be able to part with.
Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate2 Morrowind Gothic Gothic 2 Kotor KOTOR2 Deus Ex Thief Gold Thief 2 Splinter Cell (the very first one) NWN
I can't pick a thirteenth from all the other great games I have. Those 12 are my all time favourites.

Hi, We seem to be drawing to a close so I will post final results Monday morning my time, which gives you about 36 hours if you still want to vote. I will categorise using last years list and my own humble knowledge and research. I will leave any I don't know and maybe a mucky can fill them in. I am seeking feedback on one thing. At this stage I intend to count Sacred and Sacred Plus as one game, and Sacred Gold as a seperate game, given it contains the expansion Underworld. However I could be convinced Sacred Plus is different enough to be a seperate game. I haven't played them, but research suggests that it had some quests added and a few more foes, plus all the patches. Not sure that patches add enough, but perhaps the extra bits make it different enough to be considered a game in its own right? Let me know what you think.

That answers the question Nickie. Something I read said Plus added more quests, but I will count them as 1 game as originally intended.

Hi all, The results are in! This is the 4th list and the top two has remained constant. But this is the first time that the winning game has finished top in its own right. I guess I had better finally play it  What follows are two posts, one numerical and one alphabetical. I have identified the genre in the numerical list, using last year's chategorisations for consistency. All errors are mine.

Thanks flotsam. Great job as usual. Curious, were the counts down from previous years? It seems there weren't as many people voting as in past years.
