good games from 2001-2006

almoststew1990 · 1 Apr 2016 at 11:51

Or there abouts. During this time I was going through my ps2 phase (our PC had an fx5200, come on...) So I missed a lot of good games. So far I've got:

MoH: AA
HL2
Mafia
No One Lives for Ever 2

I suppose I'm looking for games that are not as well known (such as No One Lives Forever) which will be a pleasant surprise for me as I already knew MoH:AA was good!

What do you recommend?

Not sure if Deus Ex came out 2000 or 2001 but it a great game.

No one Livers forever 2 was fantastic too, pity there's been no sequal

Another shout for freelancer

Thanks for the suggestions. I played GTA 3 VA and SA on the PS2 and completed COD2 on the 360. XIII looks interesting!

Freelancer looks good, how does it compare to Freespace 2 which I already have buried in GOG somewhere

XIII is like playing Archer, but less funny.

Doom 3
Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil
F.E.A.R. 1, Extraction Point and Perseus Mandate (2007 for PM)
Far Cry
Arx Fatalis
Morrowind
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
Painkiller
Red Faction 1 & 2
Thief 2 (2000)
Thief: Deadly Shadows
Vampire: The Masquerade
Deus Ex: Invisible War (I enjoyed it, though I don't think it holds up that well compared to the first)

Yes, most of those are well known, but if there's any you haven't played then I think it's worth checking some out. I'd probably mod Morrowind, though; there are some very good ones out there for it.

This also applies to Doom 3 - though I think vanilla still holds up well, so you may wish to play it as idsoftware intended.

KOTOR. Also...simply because I loved it. FM2006.

Doubt there'll ever be a sequel, even a re release of the original games appears to be impossible:

Brothers in arms gets a lot of props.

And if it is all about fps, then alien AVP'2, Tron 2.0, Swat 3/4. Or if not Startrek Bridge commander, Simpsons hit and run, Freedom Force vs the 3rd Reich.

Sid Meier's Pirates! was 2005... on GoG for £3.50 or something, good game

Neverwinter Nights

arc@css gets bonus points for Vampire and Dark Messiah which are both absolutely amazing games

Morrowind
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Came to suggest these. Some of the best games of the decade.

Also Fable (2004). Meh combat but great atmosphere.

Soldiers: Heroes of WW2. Released 2004, the very first in the Men of War series as it was later rechristened. An absolutely fantastic game.

Codename eagle (1999) they became battlefield
Counter-Strike (1999)
Quake 3 (1999)
Soul reaver (1999)
