Now usually if I'm this bored, I'd be straight onto CSS. But as I'm in Uni halls, it's blocked, as are most online games. I've tried to get around it, but it just doesn't work, or is really slow.

So I'm looking for some games that are aimed more at the offline, story line aspect.

Games i've played, enjoyed, and completed;

Mass Effect
Crysis + Warhead
FarCry
All of the Cod Series
Mohaa
Quake 4
Prey
Doom3
F.E.A.R
Grid
NFS MW
Spore
Vegas 2
UT3 with bots

I've not yet played Stalker or Clear Skies, so are these worth a look? I also tried to get into X3 but failed.

Suggestions please! :)

System Shock 2 :)

Old but probably the best in terms of atmosphere. Puts BioShock to shame.

Was just about to suggest Bioshock :D, just completed Bioshock, fantastic game and enjoyed the story. You can always try Knights of the old Republic as well.

BioShock is a very good game indeed. One of my favourite recent(ish) releases...but SS2 is just too hard to beat :)

Did the demo of Bioshock but it never really urged me to play the entire game :o

I thought everyone had played them! :p Don't worry, i've done HL1, Oposing Force, Blue Shift, HL2 + Ep1 + Ep2 :p

And System Shock does look very dated, i was hoping there was some more recent games :p
 
if you enjoyed mass effect will will enjoy knights of the old republic 1 and 2. The first one has the better story so i'd go for that one first the 2nd one has more to do and will last logner.

The grand theft autos are worth ago.

Oblivion maybe?

But tbh there not many modern games with a decent story, but if you want epic story try final fantasy 7 and 8 on pc
 
Also have a look at the Witcher Demo if you can, the story is fantastic but the combat doesn't agree with some people however i love it as so do many more.

System Shock 2 or System Shock 1?

There's several graphics upgrade mods for System Shock 2 that make it look far better...Though it still won't win any graphics awards :)
 
Theres one story to rule them all:

Planescape Torment!

Edit: Also forum favorite Mafia is brilliant.
 
Knights of the old Republic 1 & 2
Baldurs gate and it's sequals (old but well worth it)
Neverwinter nights 2 and mask of the betrayer
The witcher
