Subspace/Continuum
Think multiplayer asteroids, without the asteroids. Seriously, this game takes the physics engine of Asteroids, adds a selection of eight ships, supplies them with a (server specified) loadout of guns, bombs, bursts, mines, thor's hammers, walls, radar cloakers, repellers, all sorts of shit, adds the instant ability to become a turrent gunner on any other ship on your team (as deemed by the server), and adds the support of an insane number of players on any given server, with the teams (or frequencies) trying to work toward some common goal (king of the hill, capture the flag, command point control, etc.).
Whew, that was long winded. Whatever. Get it from www.subspace.net . Soon, you'll be hopelessly addicted.
Reguardless of what it may say in the Subspace 1.34 readme, Subspace is now COMPLETELY free due to the fact tha Virgin went under, and the client has been remade as Continuum, with added features. Highly recomended.

Avernum 1/2
A shareware game being a must-buy? Hell yes! A fantastically realized fantasy world, full of intrigue and realistic, memorable characters, Avernum brings the feeling of a classic PnP RPG right to your desktop. 3 PC races, including humans, the feline Nephilim, and the reptilian Slithzeraki, over two dozen statistics and abilities and your choice of two unique traits, You have more character customization capabilities than ever seen before in a computer game. Sure, you might be a common sword-swigner now, but gain a level or two and add some priest/mage spells into the mix and you may well be death incarnate. Amzingly detailed artifacts, like the DemonSlayer sword and the Blessed Atame, each with their own history, are just waiting for intrepid adventurers like yourself to find them. Head over to http://www.spiderwebsoftware.com and download the demos for Avernum 1 & 2. You won't be disappointed.
Orion
Drakan: The Ancients' Gates
This is my personal favorite currently. When playing this game, you will enjoy a medieval quest taking on the roll of Ryn to awaken a sleeping dragon of lore. Massive environments full of huge enemies can be explored either on foot or by air via Arrok, the dragon. A must have for any PS2 owner.
Guidelines: Mods of this forum, senior mods, admins all get to edit THIS post (not reply a new one, replys are reserved for COMMENTS about "boy, such and such a game kicks ass), and add their own section. The game can have a picture (until we meet a picture limit), and post a short description about it. Try to come up with games that are not really well known, but are still worth playing. And please, one game per person.
