My favorite games

1. Star Wars: Knights of the Old RepublicStar Wars: Knights of the Old Republichttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Star_Wars_Knights_of_the_Old_RepublicOpens wiki page

RPG combat isn't really my thing, but everything else (atmosphere, characters, story, etc) is perfect.

2. Riven: The Sequel to MystRiven: The Sequel to Mysthttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Riven_The_Sequel_to_MystOpens wiki page

One of the most immersive games I've played due to an extremely simple interface, and a detailed world to explore. The puzzles are really fun. There isn't much replay value, but it's so memorable and inspiring that it doesn't matter much.

4. Deus ExDeus Exhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Deus_ExOpens wiki page

I've probably spent more time on this game than any other game I've played. I just wish the stealth gameplay was a little more difficult.

5. Grim FandangoGrim Fandangohttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Grim_FandangoOpens wiki page

I haven't actually played this from beginning to end, but I can say it's AWESOME.

6. Tom Clancy's Splinter CellTom Clancy's Splinter Cellhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Tom_Clancys_Splinter_CellOpens wiki page

Challenging and suspenseful stealth.

7. Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos TheoryTom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Chaos Theoryhttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Games/Tom_Clancys_Splinter_Cell_Chaos_TheoryOpens wiki page

Better than/equal to the original. My favorite stealth series, so far (I'm wary of everything after Double Agent).

8. PenumbraPenumbrahttps://giantbomb.com/wiki/Franchises/PenumbraOpens wiki page

Interesting even disregarding the horror elements.

Wonderful artwork. I like the variety of choices you can make, and how the game changes depending on how you play.

Quaint castle sim.
