Thus I'm asking the people of TL to recommend some fun games that are enjoyable in SP! I can't really give a list of things I like/don't like except that I really hate turn-based stuff, and I get bored of high graphic FPS games like Bioshock etc instantly. Atm I'm just playing Battlezone 2 (so good) and random SC ums :/   | ||

Half Life 2 series are also great. I know you said there are things about both these two games that you dislike, but trust me these games are amazing | ||

Second all of these, except I'm going to respectfully disagree about your description of BG1/2. Torment is hands down the best isometric RPG ever made (admittedly, it's more heavy on storytelling and character development, whereas BG1/2 are more well-rounded as far as gameplay goes). | ||

Well Torment has better dialogs and a way more original and interesting scenario. But imo Baldur is the king of 3d iso RPG because casual and hardcore gamers ( hi ScS2 / tactics mods ) will like it. The gameplay ( fights ) is 20x better than in Torment ( i got bored even in hard mode during the fights ). So imo Baldur is the best all round 3d iso RPG. Best for the fights ( by far ), solid dialogs and scenario, GREAT length and totally kickass mods. Also it is easier to find ( like 15 bucks whereas you have to pay 80$+ for a secondhand CD of Torment or torrent it ). Torment is well ... more like a book. But a damn awesome book | ||

I do agree that Baldur's Gate is far more accessible to casual and hardcore gamers, whereas the real experience from Torment really comes out of an appreciation for the story.

ADoM, Incursion, and Dwarf Fortress are all better roguelikes than Dungeon Crawl IMO. What makes them better? Serious question here. I've not played them but I might look into them if I keep frustrating myself playing anything but imba Transmuters in Crawl. | ||

I've not played them but I might look into them if I keep frustrating myself playing anything but imba Transmuters in Crawl. Dwarf Fortress - I guess that it's hard to put this game as the same genre as the rest. But this game is just deep and complex beyond all belief. It's interface and graphics are a bit tough to deal with, but no more complex than any other roguelike; and if you get past that, it's basically one of the most epic city/fortress-building simulations ever made, simply for the detail and depth. Incursion - Benefits from using a modified version of the D&D3.5 rule set. The way it handles skills and noncombat actions allows for a lot of character diversity and ways of going about things. The thing to note about this game is that compared to Nethack, ADoM, or Dungeon Crawl, this is HARD. Mindlessly hacking your way through the dungeon doesn't work, and you've got to use the full extent of your inventory (tools, consumables, whatever) right from the first dungeon level. Probably the one quip I have with it is that it's not really balanced (caster characters peter out toward the end of the game). ADoM - I think this finds an interesting balance in a lot of ways. It HAS an overworld, but doesn't overdo it (like TOME does). It HAS non-combat skills and issues to deal with, but it doesn't make them necessary or tedious. The spell system is interesting, but not too complicated (you can figure out what spells do as you get them), and there are attention to random little things that are interesting, but not necessary to enjoying the game. Mountain climbing? Bridge building? Herbs growing by the rules of Conway's Game of Life? | ||

I also have to disagree that Baldurs is the best ISORPG, if you have not played Temple of Elemental Evil (with mandatory co8 patch) then do yourself a favor and pick it up. This game is all about the combat engine. Story is minimal, more of a dungeon crawl. Clearly Torment(!)/Baldurs beats it in the story catagory. TOEE is turn based though, sorry OP | ||

- Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has both an interesting and challenging singleplayer. - Hearts of Iron II is one of few (good) grand strategy games available. It`s suprisingly simple to learn, but you will literally spend hours playing it just micromanaging every little aspect of running a country during a time of war. - If you have ever enjoyed war games, The Operational Art of War III is about as modern as you can get in that aspect. - The Half-Life series of games are equally as legendary as any of the Blizzard franchises and coming from one of the few developers that are similar to Blizzard. - From adventure games, the Monkey Island series (particularly Curse of Monkey Island) are a must play. - If you can handle poetic talk, both Max Payne`s are worthwhile to play. That is all I can think of right now. I will mention if I remember anything else. | ||
