Hi all, Here tis. 13 days to list 13 Dark Side games that other people should play. Your paler siblings have just identified the adventure games - over here, its all about those games that you think newbies should play if they were minded to take a stroll in the dark. You all know the drill but here are the rules: 1. You can recommend a maximum of 13 games, but you can recommend less. 2. You can't list a series, unless you use single votes for each game. 3. Expansion packs will be considered seperate games, on the basis that the original might be ordinary but an expansion pack superb. 4. Consistent with (3), packaging a game with seperate expansion packs (eg Morrowind Game of the Year edition) does not count as a single game - the original and its two expansion packs will still need to be listed seperately. 5. Witcher and Witcher Enhanced will be considered one game (the extra bits were not seperate expansion packs). 6. Any "dark" game (ie not pure adventure or casual) can be listed, irrespective of genre. 7. You don't have to indicate the type or genre, and you are not limited to any specific number of games in any genre. Go ahead and list 13 rpg's if you choose. 8. It is essentially a pc list, but given that many players have consoles as well, if you want to list games for the console go right ahead. If you can list alphabetically it helps me count, and please use full names, as I am not as familiar with titles over here. If I get confused, I will holler. Lets go

Thanks Flotsam! I look forward to this list, it helps me figure out just what I need next! And I need help because I'm stuck on just these: Fable - The Lost Chapters Oblivion The Witcher Titan Quest Titan Quest -The Immortal Throne Zanzarah I'd like to make my list 'The Witcher' for the rest of the 7 slots but Is that allowed?

Hi Flotsam- Here is my list, hope I am doing this right. Beyond Atlantis 2 (Also known as Atlantis 3: The New World) Dungeon Siege Dungeon Siege 2 Loki Sacred 2 Space Quest The Chosen: Well of Souls The Witcher Enhanced Titan Quest Titan Quest - The Immortal Throne I would also like to add The Witcher for my last three, but I think that would be wrong. maggie

Oldies are fine Mad. And the only game you are allowed to vote for multiple times is Fallout 3

13 slots are not enough for me... But, ok.. let's just put the first 13 that come to mind... Age of Mythology Gothic Gothic 2: NOTR Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Heroes of Might and Magic 5 Jade Empire Morrowind Morrowind : Bloodmoon Morrowind : Tribunal Oblivion Planescape Torment Rise of Nations 2: Rise of Legends Witcher EE I hope I won't regret not taking a bit longer to ponder over my list... Oh, well, as long as Morrowind and the Witcher are in... oh, and Gothic and ROL, and HoMM.. EDIT: Edited to seperate Bloodmoon and Tribunal, which are both included in the Morrowind GOTY edition.

This is the first year that I've really had more than the allotted games to list and had to narrow mine down. None the less, my top 5 for the Dark Side remain pretty much the same as last year with Witcher easing out Morrowind for 1st followed closely by KOTOR 1 & 2 and then the TR series. Unfortunately Betrayal at Antara (my first RPG) got squeezed out of my list this year because it is difficult to play on the newer machines. Blood Rayne Deus Ex Divine Divinity Knights of the Old Republic Knights of the Old Republic 2 Morrowind GOTY No One Lives Forever Sacred Gold Tomb Raider 2 Tomb Raider Underworld Two Worlds Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines Witcher enhanced I still believe that Witcher will rule the roost

Morrowind is far and away the greatest game I have ever played/continue to play I have included NWN not for the main game (which is average), but for some great downloadable user made campaigns. Arx Fatalis Baldur's Gate 2 Deus Ex Divine Divinity Drakensang Gothic 1 Gothic 2 Morrowind Neverwinter Nights Planescape Torment S.T.A.L.K.E.R Shadow of Chernobyl Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines Witcher

Bioshock Gothic II Knights of the Old Republic Mass Effect No One Lives Forever Okami [Wii] Planescape: Torment Psychonauts Puzzle Quest: Challenge of the Warlords Oblivion Witcher Thief: Deadly Shadows (Thief III) Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
I limited myself to choose only one from each the series above, with Thief III likely being the most controversial -- I just feel that the Shalebridge Cradle area tips it over Thief I.
EDIT -- I'd probably have switched one of these for Fallout 3, but I'm waiting for the GotY edition to come out as it includes all the add-on content.

Hi all and thanks trailmystic for the assistance. Only a few days to go - cutoff is this weekend, so get listing. Some clarification. Having consulted those far more erudite than me on matters dark, Witcher and Witcher Enhanced will be treated as one game, and votes for Morrowind GOTY will have to be redone. As we count expansion packs as seperate games, and this is really a packaging of the original plus two expansions, for the purpose of our list it is technically 3 games. I will amend the first post and contact the couple of people who voted for GOTY. Thanks

Well here I go again. I strongly disagree even though I'm outnumbered. Morrowind GOTY has the complete Morrowind with the added chapters but it's still Morrowind. If you buy the expansions separately you still have Morrowind. You can't have the expansions without Morrowind so it is just an extension of the same game. In fact when you start the game with either Tribunal or Bloodmooned installed you are taken to the Morrowind launcher and you cannot go directly to either expansion you are started in Morrowind and you have to work to get to either expansion, so I still contest that they are all part of one game. If that's the case then Sacred Gold should be treated the same way since it includes Underworld, which is an expansion. Witcher enhanced also includes two new adventures and with the latest patch includes 6 new adventures. My point is that if you need the basic game to play anything then they should all be included in the basic game. But what do I know I'm just old and had a bad day. You make the rules and I'll follow.
You laugh because I'm different I laugh because you're all the same
Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.

Your point about Sacred Gold is right-on oldman and Sacred and Sacred Underworld should be listed individually, which is what we have done in past lists. The same goes for Morrowind, and similar games with formal, separately marketed expansions. Everyone has an opinion and while we can respect all, we can not necessarily please everyone so, as in the past the rules stand.
“A world is supported by four things: The learning of the wise, the justice of the great, the prayers of the righteous and the valor of the brave. But all of these things are as nothing, without a ruler who knows the art of ruling. Make that the science of your tradition!” ---------------- Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam, from the novel Dune

Hi all, Here it is. Some surprises perhaps, but not in the winner. Two for two now, and a clear first place. Vampire Bloodlines was probably the biggest mover, and Morrowind came back to topple Oblivion. Thansk to everyone that participated, and thanks too for accepting the rules. Happy to revisit for next year and tweak where required. All errors are mine, for which I apologise in advance. Two lists follow, one numeric, and one alphabetic. cya

Oh, phooey, I missed the list this year. No matter, my picks would have been pretty much the same as they are every year. I don't get out much.
Great job. I'm glad to see Deus Ex still making the cut, even without me. Witcher sure cleaned up.
I think I'm quite ready for another adventure.

Thank you, flotsam for all your hard work I'm surprised that The Witcher made it to the first place this year. Yet, it is still a very good game.
