List of my all times favourites games

Games listed here are games that I played more than once and that I really loved or still love. In parenthesis : the developement studio ( not the publisher (I hate when someone says that a game is from a publisher ) ! ).

I'm mainly interested in FPS/RPG games, because I.M.O., they bring the best immersion, the best freedom, and often the best stories... all together. ( yes I'd love to see direct-to-brain virtual reality game ! how geeky. ) But I also love games which have excellent controls / are based on the control of the main ship/car/character.

• System Shock (Looking Glass )
1994. An achievement in the field of RPG/FPS hybrids. A good athmosphere despite the lack of ambient sounds. Amazing complexity. I began a project which aimed to export the maximum of assets to the Doom3 engine : The Citadel project
• System Shock 2 ( Irrational games + Looking Glass )
Same engine as Thief ( the Dark Engine ). Excellent FPS/RPG hybrid with an amazing anbience.
• Carmageddon 2 ( Stainless software )
Incredible physics system. It's immensely fun to collide people with a car ( in a game, that is ! ) Excellent replay system.
• Lander ( Psygnosis UK )
The fun of the game comes from the control of the ship. ( which implies a steep learning curve ) A very impressive graphic engine for the time it was made ( 1999 ).
• Thief ( Looking Glass )
The father of all first person stealth games. Looking glass invented the gameplay elements for this kind of game. Incredible ambience.
• Thief 2 ( Looking Glass )
The brother of the father of all first-person stealth games.
• Gothic ( Pyrahna Bytes )
Very pleasant engine, great palette, excellent storyline.
• Gothic 2 ( Pyrahna Bytes )
Same as above.
• Arx Fatalis ( Arkane studios )
Another excellent FPS/RPG hybrid. Good first-person melee combat.
• Dark Messiah ( Arkane studios )
I dreamed of a good first-person melee combat system. This game brings that. Now someone has to do a FPS/RPG hybrid with this kind of combat system.... Raf' : what about ARX2 ?

This list is probably incomplete...
