I appreciate the efforts everyone. And I think Marian summed up the sentiment perfectly If I may be self indulgent, here is my review at the time - just so you know what you are missing (actually, having read that, it probably IS a dark side game ![dance dance](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/dance.gif) ) Here is mine Bioshock Dead Space 2 Divine Divinity ES Oblivion ES Skyrim Fallout 3 Half Life 2 Ico Limbo Outcast Portal 2 Realms of the Haunting Witcher

OK, I appologize in advance for putting the wrong type of game in my list. I'm sure I will learn this in time. ![blush blush](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/blush.gif) 1. Cute Knight http://www.hanakogames.com/ckd.shtml 2. Diablo 2 3. Diablo 3 4. Elder Scrolls III - Morrowind 5. Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion 6. Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim 7. Grand Theft Auto V 8. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 9. Papers please http://papersplea.se/ 10. Pixel Dungeon http://store.steampowered.com/app/365900 11. Save the Date http://paperdino.com/save-the-date/ 12. Sims 4 13. Spycraft Originally I did put Cute knight, Papers please and Spycraft on the other list but it was incorrect so I hope they fit here. (Pixel dungeon is a game for pads originally, but it is avaliable for PC so I listed it. I play another version of it called Shattered Pixel Dungeon, and it is possible to play in on a computer with a modulator or whatever it's called. Just wanted to add that info. ![smile smile](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/smile.gif) )

I haven't started counting but I can tell you there is nothing on evryone's list. Witcher pops up a lot though, and Skyrim gets more than a few mentions. Plenty I haven't played and more than a few I haven't heard of. Oldies include ROTH and Dungeon Keeper 2. ![taz taz](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/taz.gif)

It was fun to separate "games I'd recommend" from my list of "favorite games". Here are 13 that I think are all worth trying. There's a bunch of Honorable Mentions that didn't make it, of course. ![wink wink](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/wink.gif) Anno 2070 Bioshock Dishonored Dwarf Fortress Endless Space Half-Life 2 Hexcells Mount & Blade: Warband Portal Sleeping Dogs Supreme Commander 2 The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Trine (cooperative mode)

Hi all This is day 13 which is technically the last day, but to make sure all votes are in, and I don't stuff up a time zone or three, and also because I won't be able to count till Saturday, the thread can stay open and I will post results Sunday. I will give a shout when its the absolutely final chance to vote ![smile smile](https://www.gameboomers.com/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/smile.gif)

Hi all One list follows this year, with the placings rather than votes shown. A different number 1 from last year, but one that has finished first previously. I have applied the rules re add-ons, GOTY etc, and tried to use full and correct titles for every game. This include using 2 or II, whatever the game itself said. I haven't tried to use alternate titles, mainly because I don't know the games well enough, and some games have more than one such (eg Fatal Frame) so I could never be sure I got them all. If I made an error in any of this just let me know and I will correct. Lots to choose from, some perhaps reminders (I had personally forgotten about System Shock 2 so will be seeking it out again) and others probably new (lots of those for me). Thanks for participating, and hopefully you will find something new to play in the next 12 months
