Most engrossing storyline/atmosphere

[Hlebio]

Not VIII? It's quite blatantly the best.

It's really not..

Not VIII? It's quite blatantly the best.

Nah it's not It's good but it's not the best imo.

Imo probably being the most important thing in this post

The Kain Series - Its all one long story.
Dreamfall

 

[Black Dog]

Shame on you all for forgetting Planescape: Torment.

Absolutley wicked game

 

[KadreMoD]

Resident Evil:Code Veronica on the DreamCast
FF7 on PS1
Max Payne 1 on PC

Riven was amazingly atmospheric with a great storyline. One of my all time favourites. Not to everybody's taste though I'm sure.

Also loved Max Payne 1

For me it has to be FF X [final fantasy] without a doubt, it kept me interested for 2+ years. absuletly loved every bit of it, the story and characters wer amazing. With those kind of games, you kind of miss the characters as you play the game for so long

The Half Life games dont have a story.

Especially not the second one which was dreadfull in every way.

Resident Evil.
Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 4
KOTOR.
G-Police.
Tomb Raider 2.
FF7
Deus Ex


See, those are the ones i can rememeber thinking, "ive got to keep playing to see what happens next"

Definetely, it's almost depressing to complete such an emersive game.

Also, obligatory mention for Zelda on the nintendo... simply awesome game, I wish there were games like this and FF around nowadays...

im sure every1 has said it by now

MAFIA

if you havent played it i DEMAND you go and buy it, sure it can be picked up 2nd hand for like 5 quid, best PC of recent years, better than half life 2 imo, that feeling when you feel like your in a movie, this and metal gear solid are the only games that came close

The Kain Series - Its all one long story.

Luved Soul Reaver on the Dreamcast, but the rest of the series didn't manage to grip me.

 

[georges]

Damn it...

I sold these games long ago.. I've been inspired to buy em back now

Mafia, Kotor and Deus Ex.

Is Kotor 2 worth writing home about?

 

[pinkacidbootson]

Metal Gear Solid 2! I completed it at least 5 times and i absolutely loved it
Although i played it on PS2, it is available for PC. Infact, i may even buy it again for PC!

Forgot to add in Shenmue 1 for Dreamcast, so amazingly cool to just walk around town and go in the arcade all day. And that's before the forklift job at the docks Shenmue 2 was also brilliant but it felt slightly more rushed.

 

[William]

Yeah, how could I forget Metal Gear... They are practically films.

 

[DanTheMan]

Zelda : Ocarina of Time

Well hopefully FF12 will be out before the end of the year.

If we are talking cross platform I must say Silent Hill I and Parasite Eve II took a look of beating on the PS1. Pretty good storylines and they both scared the Bejesus out of me

PC HL2 and F.E.A.R.

 

[Phalanx]

Not VIII? It's quite blatantly the best.

I love VIII's storyline but I still think VII had the best combat system

 

[BubbySoup]

System Shock
System Shock 2

In that order
