***The Worth Purchasing Getting Thread***

Independance War II is a space combat simulator type game, still one of the best uses of inertia, etc. in a game, first one was great too! Nexus: The Jupiter Incident is a sort of tactical strategy, you get a ship/s and can alter them, shields, weapons, etc. and use them to complete missions, some of which are very challanging. the game itself has a visually impressive engine and the control system is well worked as well. best thing is both can be had for next to nothing nowadays. :D
 
Not sure if its been said but i reckon the Total Wars series of games needs to go in with the RTS's
Medieval Total war ((I + II) + Expansions)
Rome Total war (+ Expansions)
Shogun Total war
Empire Total war
Napoleon Total war

I have probably missed some out though,
 
Here's a quick list of additions/corrections :p

I'm glad to see Call of Cthulha: Dark Corners of the Earth mentioned in this thread as I've been debating whether I should buy it or not for some months now lol.

Edit - a good game a lot of people often miss is a MOD for Half life 2 called "hidden source" where 1 person is a creature with a knife who has a near perfect predator style cloak, whilst the other players are on a team together as soldiers with weapons. Person who kills the "hidden" becomes it on the next round. Its amazingly atmospheric and generally superb fun.

Definitely atleast these titles

The Witcher
Orange Box
Starcraft 2
Age of Empires (II or III)
Call of Duty 4

I could have those and not play anything else. so much longevity.
 
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.
