Dude, those games were released twelve years ago, at that time they were considered technological marvels. Not much today.

Yeah, but like I said, Doom II is fun...the first just leaves something to be desired...

More marvelous games:

Painkiller
I loved this game so much that I instantly bought the addon for it without even reading any reviews about it. This is good game when you wan't to let off some steam.

Vampire the masquerade: bloodlines
I felt in love with this game instantly. Moody, atmospheric, intresting characters, excellent dialogue. This game made me to read world of darkness rulebooks and also joined a one forum to discuss abou it. True classic.

Condemned: criminal origins
When I readed about this game and saw the screenshots I thinked: I WAN'T THIS GAME! I tested the demo, and ran instantly to buy it. This is a example of game that cannot get any more darker.

Max Payne series
More noir. I don't know why, but I always have loved revengestories. Adrenaline shooting at it's best. And it's finnish! YAY!

Quite a dark list. But Im so dark anyway!

At least someone who appreciates this great game ! k:

Hope you tried playing with Malkavian clan. If you didn't, I strongly advice you to do so. Their weird but funny dialogue options make the game much more interesting, like convincing the food critic he's eating maggots.

In case you don't know, there's also an older game called Vampire The Masquerade : Redemption. It's an RPG-type game where you control a party of up to 4 vampires. The story starts in the middle ages (Prague & Vienna), and continues into modern day (London & New York). You can actually get burnt by sunlight and multiplayer is also possible, though mostly used for storytelling purposes. Definitely a different kind of game, and inferior to Bloodlines (older too of course), but if you like the setting in the World of Darkness, I'd still recommend it.

Edit: A game I forgot to mention : Blade Runner, great atmosphere and story. I even liked the game more than the movie.

I have finished with malkavian, brujah, gangrel, nosferatu, tremere, ventrue.. Actually I think the only clan I haven't finished is Toreador. Not just my style. I think I have finished it about fifteen times or so. I love nosferatu. They just kick behind.

Yes, I know redemption. I tried it once for little time but I don't own it or didn't even fancy it much. I know it's not very smart to judge game by just trying it a bit so I won't say more. There is actually the original on sold still and maybe I'll buy it some day.

I wish they made the game a little complex. I would have definetly liked to play as tzimisce on sabbat side. There's a mod to play all the PnP clans, but still lacking sabbat quests (and it's not that fancy mod anyway).

All are the truly marvelous games, but Condemned suxxx due to the "hey, YOU gotta go do this that, while we wait for the cops and etc." It's boring...

BTW, who said I wasn't a fan of Bloodlines??? I'm waiting to buy the original, when I find it. Troika Games has made the best RPG's in the world (IMHO).

Could you explain what you mean by "you must do this and that"? Ofcourse it's linear game, but that is exactly what makes it so intense. I like to play games where you don't have to wander around aimlessly, looking for some puzzle that is under your nose but you cannot find it anyway because the gamedesigner had some weird twist in his head when he designed it. I think I haven't ever played as intense game as condemned.

Heh, I cannot change your mind if you think it sucks. I just love the mood, the theme and everything. Actually all of the games I listed are quite linear in end. You have quite few options in them, with little exeption with bloodlines.

Or if you disagree, how does max payne series or painkiller series give you options?

peace, just protecting my fav games.

Well in Morrowind you can get "infected" by a vampire and then you can come out only at night anyway... so the whole setting becomes darker i guess.

Hey, in Daggerfall I became a werewolf, one minute walking down the street minding my own lupine business, the next I was a raving, howling beast. I didn't even know it was coming LOL and neither did the townspeople.
Oh, and that cure ritual is rather nasty

But someone mentioned Blade Runner: That is an exellent game :w00t: . The same thing goes for the Tex Murphys UaKM, PD and OS. The way they mix noir and future is quite nice. Like Humphrey Bogart 2010 AD

Both games are incredibly buggy, which is probably why they got bad scores, download the patches before you play.
