Ok, let's gather up some of the titles of the best games ever out there. Everyone tell their favorites. Let's go PC only for now. I'd like to hear what the rest of you guys think.

Duke Nukem 3D, one of the few truly legendary games of the genre
Grim fandango, amazing... just amazing
American McGee's Alice, my personal favorite
Doom 1 or Ultimate Doom, sorry about that Deatscythe
Deus ex 1
Dune 2, how did I forget it???
Fallout 2
Battlezone

I'll add more when I come up with them.

@ Scythus

You dont have to extend to console games for that one.
MGS and MGS2 are available for PC for 1 year by now.

...and of course its one of the very best games ever (even thought about putting it into my top 5...but naah =P)

I <3 it =)
Played MGS1 on extreme through (it gets unlocked once u play it on hard through).

If we are extending into console games, one of the best games I have EVER played was Metal Gear Solid.

The storyline was simply incredible, and the gameplay was excellent too. If anyone has a PS1, then I recommend picking it up cheap somewhere to give it a go.

You should really play Fallout 2, you can find it really cheap these days, I bought my copy for 10 €.
It's a hundred times better than Tactics. And Tactics rocked too.

I heard so many...really many things about Fallout 2.

Like > This is one of the best games ever!!!Really!!!! < and such things...
Sadly i never found time to play this game =/
But im sure i wont get dissapointed...because i loved the "fighting-only-version-of-fallout2" > Fallout Tactics.

Well, maybe someday im gonna find time to actually check this game a bit closer out.

This game looks very interesting. Plot sounds a bit different then X-Com and I'm sure it has nothing to do with the series, however some of the new features that this game has sound very interesting to me. I will definitely check it out in the future. :D

Also, I played Fallout and thought that game was really cool. Fallout 2 was mentioned here so I might have to check that one out as well.

So many games and so little time. :D

Heh Koyi,

This UFO:Aftermath has been just released recently (ok well....something like 1/2 year ago) and it doesnt have the title X-Com anymore.You could say that its a completly different Game but the developers based it on the X-Com principle and i think they even called it a sequel.

Well, i havent played the other X-Com games but figuring out from what youve told us about those games, i think they have a lot in common.
So in my opinion...if you are a great fan of the X-Com Series, then i would recommend to check this game out for sure.

Heres a link of the official webside:
http://www.ufo-aftermath.com

btw:
Chrono Trigger is one of the best RPGs ive ever played.
So is Lufia2 <3

I just want to ask about this UFO Aftermath game you guys mentioned. I have never heard of this one. From what I knew it was a trilogy with X-Com UFO Defense or I think it was originally called Enemy Unknown, 2nd one being X-Com Terror From The Deep, and the last being X-Com Apocalypse. I bought all 3 games as they were released and later bought the collector's edition with all three in one set. I've never seen nor heard of Aftermath so now I am wondering if this is the first game with the actual UFO's and aliens from Mars or the underwater aliens with the subs. Please let me know, I am very interested to know whether or not there is another game floating around out there that I didn't know about. :D

Of course ive played Starcraft =)

Even with the add-on Broodwar (which was a really great addition to the SP)
Ive played SC in MP for a long time...but this was very very long ago.
I loved it ^^
Well...i had some reasons to leave SC MP and i wont set my foot into battle.net ever again...ive promised myself that...
Oh and uhm...i uhm...even bought that game...i mean...uhm...nevermind.
Its still my favorite RTS game (besides C&C Generals).

I have to admit that X-Com is a great game also...ive only played the sequel > UFO: Aftermath <
Its really well done...and consumes a heck of time...(nearly as much as very great and old classics like > Jagged Alliance 2 < ...its build up on the same principe tho)

Oh and Jagged Alliance 2 is an awesome game ^^

i agree with Ufo Afthermath thing, a battle can take like 2 hours.... *game pause* ENEMY SPOTTED, game pause *ENEMY DEAD*, game pause *TAKING FIRE*
