If you want games that kill time...

The HOMM games already mentioned are excellent for that, as are games like Civ IV.
If you want to immerse yourself in the pinnacle of RPG gaming, the Baldur's Gate games are second to none.
If you have a creative (or sadistic) streak, Dwarf Fortress is as addicting as can be.
I've wasted many an hour at my university playing Nethack instead of studying for exams, you can too!
Fillers while waiting for Diablo 3 could be Titan Quest, Dungeon Siege 2 and Torchlight.
Autumn and darkness approach, perhaps a scare is in order? Amnesia - The Dark Descent and Call of Cthuli: Dark Corners of the Earth deliver.

How is the gameplay in Baldur's gate? Is it full-blown rpg game? Or, is it more action-oriented. Also, the game seems pretty old....now I am not the kind of guy to judge on graphics, but....gameplay must be really exhilirating if I would consider that one. More info plz!!!

Dwarf Fortress? I never heard of that game. Will have to google it good sir.


It's a classical RPG in all it's glory, following the AD&D ruleset. As such, it is not comparable to games like Diablo and should not be approached as such. While the game flows in real time, there are typically so many decisions to make during combat that the pause key is your best friend, especially considering you'll be controlling a party of up to 6 characters. A typical scenario would be that you pause the game to tell your mage to cast a flame arrow to finish off that sword spider whilst your fighter retreats a few steps to accept a cure spell from your cleric. Your other fighter might then have to go after the baddie approaching your frail mage, while your druid/fighter dual class character removes the poison that is rapidly draining said fighter's hp.

Things get really interesting once enemy mages are thrown into the mix. The exhiliration comes from getting out of a particularly dicey battle with only a few hitpoints remaining as a result of good planning, decision making and use of magical items.

The best aspects of the Baldur's Gate games are the characters and their interactions, the soundtrack and the story. The game is quite open-ended and lets you wander to different areas at your whim, but the story rarely lets you go for very long (although to be fair this is not always the case with the first game) without some reminder of what is going on in the big picture. It's almost a play-to-understand experience, really.

There's a thread here on TL about the games, I recommend checking in there for more info.

Torchlight was quite good but honestly - just get your hands on a copy of D2 + LoD and play that for a while - if you need some inspiration then take a look at all those funky "My D2 Journey with Pictures"-Threads that you can find in the TL-Blog-Section

I would recommend The Elder Scroll series. Also Fall out 3. Dead Island is pretty awesome.... Deus Ex 1 and Human revolution..

Also mass effect in PC anyone?

Get a Malkavian and max melee. And don't forget to grab the unofficial patches.

I also encourage you to try Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption, which is very fun.

Other things to try are Bastion, Magicka. The Witcher is fun. Titan Quest is a good time sink, and Torchlight is solid Diablo gameplay.

Well, to be honest, there really is nothing as Diablo as Diablo itself.

A lot of people are mentioning true RPGs, which isn't the same thing at all. Of the ones mentioned, I'd say Torchlight and TQ are most comparable hack'n'slash games to it.

I mist have posted this list a dozen times on different forums:


Anachronox
Arcanum
Beyond Good and Evil
Planescape: Torment
Warhammer: Dark omen


There you go, probably close to 200 hours of pure joy. A heavy bias towards rpgs, but I'm either a competitive game, or rpg kinda guy. Dark omen is a minor exception, but one of my favourite games of all time, and something every person on this planet should have played imo.
For every battle honour a thousand heroes die alone, unsung, and unremembered.

if the witcher looks just a little bit like a game u would play GO FOR IT.
its like the best singleplayer. story, gameplay, fights + it looks amazing and ofc it takes u some time to finish what is really rare. I liked witcher more than ME and Oblivion.

But if u want game like diablo go for torchlight

Oh yes, forgot about Mass Effect, even though I am doing another playthrough of it right now! One of my favourites

Torchlight was a good game but the no-multiplayer part was lame, still worth the price if you want a fun hack n' slash to spend time though.
Luckily Torchlight 2 will be coming out soon and it'll have multiplayer. I'll most likely pick it up myself when it's out

I got holidays right now and I started playing the first s.t.a.l.k.e.r. game with oblivion lost mod. If you play it in a dark room with a headset it is quite atmospheric and on hardest difficulty it is quite realistic too, you as well as enemies die to 1 head shot or 3 body shots or something. Definitely had some hardcore shock moments when I was sneaking through some lab just with flashlight expecting some mutants when suddenly some military guy came out of cover behind a box and immediately opens fire and kills me in like half a second.
It can sometimes be kinda frustrating when you come around a corner and an opponent gets a lucky headshot from 100 meters distance and you drop dead without even seeing him, so I started quicksaving every minute or so.
Definitely one of the hardest single player games I ever played. I am close to the end now and I think i hid the quickload button well over 300 times
