***The Worth Purchasing & Playing Thread***

I've noticed there are a fair few "pick me a game threads" i thought we could answer 99.9% of them with a single thread.
Everytime you play a new game that you think is worth a purchase
post it here & we will eventually have a list of great games to purchase, when your looking for a new game to play.

Notice:
Please post the game name & type of game & i will update the list.
Please Suggest any Groups that should be added also.
Games Now need to be suggested by Two different Members to in get in the list

i think Nexus Jupiter incident is a RTS ?

Also once the list is quite comprehensive it might be worthwhile to break it further down category-wise. What i mean is : FPS is a game type but you can get FPS adventure, FPS RPG, FPS horror adventure, Fantasy FPS, Sci-FI FPS etc

or would doing all that be too anal? :D

Reason i ask sometimes people will be really specific about what kind of game they want.


RPG

Baldurs Gate
Baldurs Gate II & Throne of Bhaal Expansion

(technically they are Isometric Party-based RPGS) ;)

updated with areas inside area :p

people need to suggest an area when they have a game doesnt fit insideone

Indie
Uplink

Adventure

All Monkey Island games
Broken Sword Series
Grim Fandango
Perry Rhodan
Siberia 1 & 2


I'll think of a few more

It also might be worth asking a mod to come in and clean this up once you've updated the thread, just use it as a list of games and not discussion.

id like to keep it up to date so will need people to tell me what to add but, i guess he could clear whats been added so far :)

ive asked for a stickie

iRacing and Richard Burns Rally (with mods for more content) for proper sim racing. For ice-hockey you have to ignore PC as a platform and turn into NHL11. For managers, EHM07 is still the only answer.

This is quickly becoming a list of games that any one individual might consider playable.
Click to expand...

what did you mean by your last statement?
 
i think to make this list the better 2 recomendation per game are now required to be put on the list.

i think this makes it fair annd increases the chance of the game being good.

hope you agree i will update the list after work tonight.
 
Eames said:
Should do a similar thread but for game mods, the best singleplayer mods and the best multiplayer mods.

I'll start it if it gets any interest in here.
Click to expand...

i can add it in this thread it makes sense to have it all in one :) once i update it which im just about to do it should make it much easier. :D
 
Deific said:
You should make an Historical Strategy section, seeing as a lot of RTS/TBS games are based on past conflicts. (Total War series, Victoria, Imperial Glory etc)

Also TDU should be freeroam racing, not track.
Click to expand...

Will do, im also going to add A MOD section for MOD worth Purchasing/getting & also add a few games from the 2nd page which i missed :D

like i said eariler im no games Master people need to tell me what type it should be under

Thankyou for telling me :)
 
im trying to get this list to be the best of the best, imho i don't think the following should be included do you agree?

GTA III
GTA IV
Cryisis Warhead

"Best of the best" is going to be quite subjective. Whilst I would agree that Crysis should not be included, I know many people love it and would like to see it make the list. Anyway..
