Sticking to out of the box:

[hoshi23]

Total Annihilation the classic! I am gonna add abit of dimension to it by saying: Homeworld 2 with mods.

Final Fantasy XI: Online

[brokenergy]

Here is Brokenergy's list of the best games of the recent decades

 

10. Rome:Total War: had hours of fun crushing my enemies

 

9. Morrowind: The best out of the entire series

 

8. Age of Empires: My first game and one of my favorite

 

7. Mass Effect 1&2: Great games, tons of fun

 

6. Dragon Age:Origins: One of the best cRPG games of the decade, on par with other with it's genre.

 

5. Dungeon Siege: I had hours of fun before people ruined it with cheating

 

4. Fallout: A great game, loved every minute of it

 

3. Baldur's Gate 1 & 2: The best of the D&D series

 

2. Planescape Torment: Could not get enough of it

 

1. Wizards & Warriors (Last of the Wizardry series): I have played this game so many times that I know the game by heart. It is great game that I love and the only game that I could not finish (computer wouldn't accept as the graphics card and processor are too high). It has it's problems (like all games) but I didn't mind it much. There was so many things to do in there and so many places to explore. I loved it a lot.

 

It was hard to make this list and this is just a subjective view of the best games out there. There are some people that would disagree with me but that is another tale to tell.

[jojo man]

Deus Ex (The first game, NOT the sequel)

 

Baldurs Gate (again, the first game, NOT the sequel)

 

Perfect Dark (Corny I know, but I had a blast with it when I was younger)

 

Doom (The original)

 

Wolfenstein 3D

 

F-Zero (for the SNES)

 

Super Mario World (This is my personal favorite of all the Mario games)

 

Mass Effect (Original, NOT the sequel)

 

Neverwinter Nights (original)

 

Halo (First game, Sequels got progressively worse)

[Povuholo]

So you don't like sequels much Jojo? :teehee:

I gave this much thought and here is my personal top 10 list. Most made it to this list because I would still play them to this very day.

 

Battlefield 1942 (2002)

- The kind of game I wanted to play for 10 years! The game engine spawned many other games I liked (Star Wars Battlefront!)

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_1942

 

Total Annihilation (1997)

- A great RTS that had tons of mods and can still be played today with just as much fun.

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_annihilation

 

Deus Ex (2000)

- Very fun game that allowed multiple ways of accomplishing your goals (attack vs stealth, etc.)

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_ex

 

Thief ][: The Metal Age (2000)

- An awesome game of stealth that really has not seen its equal.

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thief_2

 

Age of Empires ][: The Age of Kings (1999)

- This game engine spawned many games I liked (e.g. Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds)...also does not require 3D acceleration which allowed me to play on laptops during long flights.

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Empires:_The_Age_of_Kings

 

XCOM: UFO Defense (1994)

- Great depth for research, loadouts and fighting aliens.

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFO:_Enemy_Unknown

 

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (1996)

- An RPG game featuring swords, bows and armor; a great combination in my book. Oh, almost forgot to mention that you can mod it a little bit.

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_IV:_Oblivion

 

Rome: Total War (2004)

- Awesome command power at the strategic and tactical levels. I love being able to defeat an enemy much larger than me by using my forces wisely.

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome_total_war

 

Halo: Combat Evolved (2001)

- Best game for the original XBOX. What else can I say. (oh, don't bother with the PC version...yuck)

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_combat_evolved

 

Quake ][ (1997)

- The reason for so many lan parties that I attened while in college.

- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake_II

 

Here are the runners up that I had to weed out of my top list:

 

Operation Flashpoint (2001) - 1st realistic-feeling war game I've played.

Unreal Tournament (1999) - Lanparty fun without need for 3D GFX card.

Soul Calibur (1999) - Bought the Dreamcast just for this game (to avoid going down to the arcade)

Descent II (1996) - Another great Lanparty game.

Warcraft ][: Tides of Darkness (1995)

DooM ][: Hell on Earth (1994) - Wasted much lab time at the Uni

Star Wars Tie Fighter (1994) - Put the "awe" in awesome.

Syndicate (1993)

Dune II: The Building of a Dynasty (1992) - My 1st RTS game which was based on an awesome movie.
