The Darkness 2 is an awesome game to play alone , if you are going to play with friends Risk of Rain ;)

What 5 games do you feel more people should play?
For me is:

Fallout

Primordia

Arcanum

Skyrim (or any other from TES series)

and Space Station 13

Spore : Because while the gameplay is far from the most compelling, the degree of freedom in the easy creation tools has rekindled the creative drive of a lot of people. Childish? Maybe. Lacking? Sure. Bad? I wouldn't say so!

Strike Vector : Because the game is damn good. The only thing it lacks is players. Instead of buying just yourself a copy and then complaining there are no games, try synchronising with a few close buddies, all get a copy, and then play together. Totally worth it. In fact, I'm going to make a thread about this when the christmas sales hit to try spur people on to reigniting the Strike Vector playerbase.

Space Engineers : It has an initially steep-seeming learning curve, but once you understand the basics it gets addictive quickly.

Mount Your Friends : Dumb fun, great for local, good for online. Just lacks players for multi online. All you need is one friend and you'll have a riot. Grab a few friends and voicechat and you're golden.

Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet : Awesome, lighthearted yet moodily twisted singleplayer metroidvania-like that also has multiplayer co-op modes!

(runner up) :
Contagion / Damned : Both games suffer a lack of players, but both have a nice theme. Contagion is a zombie game that excels in it's "Hunted" game mode, where the human players must track down and kill one another, while also surviving the roaming zombies. Damned is good just for it's Monster vs Survivors pvp, but lacks players and perhaps polish.

1.Mount and Blade:Warband-So many things to do with dozens of mods and that's just in single-player.The ultimate sandbox rpg-empire building-mounted combat simulator. As well, the MP community is stronk.

2. Bioware/Black Isle RPGS using Infinity Engine:Baldur's Gate series, Icewind Dale series, and Planescape:Torment. These rpgs set the tone for virtually every rpg that followed, at least western ones.People love to bemoan what happened when Bioware got bought out by EA, and rightfully so, but these games were part of the golden age of BW. Play them, experience them, and then you can critique modern-day rpgs:) The Enhanced Editions, at least what I've played, are great games and well worth the price for everything included.
   3.Elder Scrolls:Morrowind. Another extremely important game in the development of rpgs, with a huge open-world, massive main quest, decisions that impact the story, and a lot of variey with character customization. Still more fun than Skyrim for me.Also the game that got me back into PC gaming after a hiatus of a couple years.
   4.X-WING and TIE FIGHTER games, available once more through gog.com due to getting Lucasarts onboard. If you like Star Wars at all, and space flight sims in general, you will love these classics.
   5.Original Dawn of War series.Probably my favorite SF-based RTS games, due mostly to the setting and the gameplay.It's not a faithful port of the Warhammer 40,000 tabletop game but it doesn't have to be, it does what it was made to do extremely well and with decent stories to drive the heart of the action. There's still a decent MP playerbase as well for the series, and skirmishing with friends can be just as much fun as playing through the campaigns.

i really feel like people should give a chance to the many old and new point and click adventures, the lucasarts ones, wadjet eye one (being this my favorite, the other day bought the last game of the blackwell series i cant wait to play it when i get back home), dedalic, and many others, the only ones that people talk now are the telltale ones and dont get me wrong they are really awesome!

Also i would add The world ends with you! really great game for the ds, the story, the graphics, the music, the fun, its my favorite game alongside fallout 3

Before my comment was deleted, here is what I wrote:
I want people to play more Portal 2. I need some co-op fun badly. Also, SpeedRunners, Gun Monkeys and Nuclear Dawn servers are severely lacking in people to play with. That's four, so my fifth would have to be Hotline Miami. Man that game is deep, we need some of the gun crazies to play it so they understand what it is to kill.

Tough question. I think I'll go with:

• Long Live the Queen - Guide young Elodie through the 40 weeks until her coronation. You will die. A lot. Cute style, lots of ruthless politics and assassination attempts! Really fun visual novel that's more interactive than a lot of other entries in the genre.

• Valkyria Chronicles - I played this on the PS3 but it just got a Steam release and I've heard it's super well-optimized. Play as a Belgium/Netherlands analogue and solve anime World War II with your ragtag group of misfits and your tank. It's a fun turn-base/real-time strategy combo. I bought it on a whim way back when and had a blast with it.

• Rogue Legacy - Metroidvania-ish semi-Roguelike, send generation after generation into a castle to beat up bosses and try not to die (you will die). The castle randomizes with each new character you play. You pick from three randomized descendants each time, who can have a variety of classes and helpful, harmful, or goofy traits.

• Half-Minute Hero - It was just in a bundle but I saw a bunch being given away. Goofy game that's the distilled essence of an RPG - you have 30 seconds to save the world, so get to it! I watched an LP of it a while ago and just picked it up for myself.

• Analogue: A Hate Story/Hate Plus - Not very "game"y visual novels, but very deeply thought out. You've been charged with extracting the logs of the Mugunghwa, a Korean generational ship found floating out in the middle of nowhere with no life signs aboard. You read through the logs with the aid of a pair of AIs. Pretty heavy subject matter, but very emotional games.

• Super Toy Cars: Has a great feeling physics-based engine with good kart design.
• Driver San Francisco: Hands down my favorite implementation of open world gameplay in a racing game.
• BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger: Unique character mechanics that are easy to get into.
• Section 8: Prejudice: A shooter with a variety of great customizable guns and jetpacks.
• Gimbal: Lets you exercise your creative muscles and build all sorts of spacecraft to duel with.

thanks for giveaways :)

DragonAge... playing others now so will let you know later.

In no particular order:

• Killing Floor
• Any CS
• Bastion/Transistor (haven't finished Transistor but Bastion for sure)
• Far Cry 3
• Guild Wars

Thanks for the giveaways :)

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning

Totally underappreciated

Always number 1: Psychonauts!!!!!! I'm gonna shout it in every threads on every corner, until enough people will play it to make a second game! Come on people, play it already! It's fun, it's unique, it's beautiful and imaginative, what else do you need??

2. Beyond good and evil. If you haven't played it yet - go play it now, it's good. Beyond good.
   3-4. Bastion and Transistor. Because they fantastic in so many ways that even more people should know about them.
   Ok, so maybe I haven't uncover any hidden gems, but you must admit that these games deserve a way more attention than they got.

Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning !!

too bad the developer bankrupted :(

Well, thanks for the giveaways. I can even sub to your channel, but don't expect me to watch, I'm not into watching gameplays, I prefer to play myself.

About the games... There are few, check up what Khazadson posted, I agree with everything he said. I'd just add Fallout 2.

My top 5 would be:
Prince of Persia Trilogy.
Super Mario 64.
Age of Empires 2/3.
Counter Strike GO.
Age of Wonders 2/3.

1. Ether One
2. Dream
3. Victim of Xen
4. RefleX
5. Any Dragon Age game

gracias.

1. saints row series
2. tropico series
3. terraria
4. dragon age origins
5. civ games

of course. also these are in no particular order.

1. Savant Ascent (Hella Good Schmup game on steam)
2. Crawl
3. Crypt of the Necrodancer
4. Metro 2033
5. Hotline Miami

I'll put in my 2 cents.

1.) Natural Selection 2. This game is so fuckin' awesome. There's a very steep learning curve, but once you get past that you can have an absolute blast. (Though it's kinda sad when you get a bad commander.)
2.) Insurgency. It just got boosted with that Humble Bundle, but man is it a blast. It scratches my fps and tactical itch at the same time, and does it wonderfully.
3.) Spec Ops: The Line. No spoilers, it made me feel like a terrible person. What a great story.
4.) To The Moon. I just have to put it in there because I feel whoever hasn't played it really should.
5.) Infested Planet. Pretty unknown game, got it for cheap with a coupon, and had a blast with it.

1. Grand Theft Auto Series
2. Assassins Creed Series
3. Need For Speed Series
4. Age Of Empires Series
5. Batman Arkham Series

1. SCUMM games, Sierra's AGI and SCI games and most of those compatible with scummvm.
2. Fallout series (Fallout 2 above all).
3. Avadon: The Black Fortress, Avernum: Escape From the Pit and other games by Spiderweb Software.
4. The Bard's Tale.
5. Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate series and Neverwinter Nights series.

1: Tribes: Ascend
2: Section 8: Prejudice - (Deserved to be really popular but nobody played it)
3: Robocraft - (It has a really decent player base as it is, but I think it's something more people really need to get into)
4: Arena: Cyber Evolution - (Seriously, why is nobody playing this?! This game really deserves to be the next big esports game)
5: Eternal Silence - (An awesome Source mod that combines dog fighting in space, as well as FPS combat and was a lot of fun to play)

Something else that I just want to throw in here is Tanarus. It doesn't exist anymore, it was killed off by SOE years ago, but to this day, it remains one of the best freaking games ever made, and I miss it terribly. Phoenix Wars and Force Wars were amazing.
