One of my most favourite games: THIEF. Anyone played that? I remember playing Thief : Gold; the second installment (was it called The Metal Ages or something?); and I still have the third installment Deadly Shadows.

For the first two what really really impressed me was the whole mystique magic-techno apocalypse feel the game exuded. Especially that WONDERFULLY nice feeling of being free to lurk around in the darkness and spy on unsuspecting A.I., and yet that spine-tingling holy-cow-I've-run-out-of-holy-water-I've-got-to-run feeling when you encountered ghosts or zombies. (I was quite young when I played them)

Sadly, I felt that in Thief 3, alot of that original atmosphere was somehow lost. But nonetheless, it still had alot more atmosphere than many games out there.

I also like Call of Duty, both 1 and 2, for the gut-wrenching realism it put you thru. It felt so sad when they ended so quickly.

Homeworld also deserves mention, especially Catacylsm, for being a very emotional game.

edit: Yes, yes, its as wsheit puts it.. THIEF was all about immersion.. I was on those rooftops, I was pilfering from the Hammers, I ....

I'm not sure if it's American but it sure was great.

I had it on PSX but sold it aswell.

I'll never sell games again. You just made me realize how many games I've sold that I'd like to play now. Gimme my games back, damn it!

Sam & Max Hit the Road, from Lucasarts. Best point and click style adventure game I've ever played.

I guess you two are looking forward to Supreme Commander, by the same designer? It's basically TA2.
