I would, but they're all in my library, sadly. :P I still kick myself for accidentally putting Driver: SF into my library, since I got it as a gift in the x-mas thing. I'm not much for driving games, aside from Mario Kart. But maybe its pretty good, I dunno

Line Breaks: I usually just click enter or use ----------- if that's the case...

I'd be interested to see

Cave Story +

Space Pirates and Zombies

Orcs Must Die!

Trine

Legend of Grimrock

Order doesn't matter though :X, thanks for the giveaways too!

I've played about 5 minutes of each of them (obvious attention span disorder), but they all seem pretty fun! Oh, any time! I just felt that I should give back, since I don't really have bills or anything to pay. And nothing's better for the soul than the smile of a pc gamer when they win a free game.

Bastion, Deus Ex, E.Y.E, Half Life, Orcs Must Die!

Doesn't has to be in that order.

I like the female voice-acting better, but Mark Meer ain't half-bad either.
If you've got trouble connecting though, try a female! You can always go for the blue babies option, and not knowing what I mean with that just means you gotta go play it =P

Took me a while, but I got it. And I'll wait and see who I start a relationship with in there, I wanna see who's better. But from the demo of 2 I've played, I'm thinking the female human (dunno her name, works with Illusive Man), is gonna be the one for me :D

probably you could find an HD texture pack or even HD models pack and other stuffs, the game is from 98, so yes, it's old. the internet is full of mods and add-ons for all the saga...

Psychonauts I bought for nostalgia, I rented it loads of times for the ps2 and loved it, even though after playing the first hour, I realized there's a bit of humor I never really got back then. Jeez, lots of Bastion is popping up, I'm gonna go for that'n

Half-Life series IMO :)

Whenever I approach a backlog of games (I'll admit I never had a backlog this large though) I start with games that have low replayability, otherwise I might get stuck on one game (for example I could just keep playing Rome:Total War or SPAZ on and on with new campaigns, and never get to the rest of the backlog). These tend to be story-driven or puzzle games (since once you hear the story or solve the puzzle there is no need to redo them). Then among these low-replayability games I usually start with the shorter ones to keep me motivated to finish.

Using my two parameters listed above I would recommend you start with Bastion, Trine, and maybe Amnesia and then work your way towards KOTOR, Deus Ex, and Psychonauts.

Amnesia I'm gonna wait for, don't really want to run out of pants at this point in time. Trine I tried but didn't 100% get into, but I only played the first 30 or so minutes

Bastion

Psychonauts, Knights of the Old Republic, Trine/Bastion would be my top 3(/4).
KotOR was better on the Xbox, if for no other reason than a better control scheme, and speaking of the XBox, but not related to your list... Jade Empire was awesome.

Whats Jade Empire? And I ordered an xbox controller and the dongle thing on Saturday, so would I be able to configure the controls for that?

Comment has been collapsed.

I'm not sure if you could configure the KotOR controls to be Xbox like... I think the Xbox version had some combined buttons (it's been years since I played the PC version btw, so don't take my word for it). But even with the keyboard, the game was perfectly fine to play.

Jade Empire is another Bioware single-player RPG, but with a mystic/eastern theme to it. The story isn't too bad, and depending on your opinion the combat could be good or bad. At times it seems a bit too easy (bumping the difficulty might have helped), but the combat is very satisfying in the "beat 'em up" aspect and it's fluidity/feel.
Haven't played it on PC at all, so I can't really offer an opinion on the Steam/PC version.

OMG I realllly need Titan Quest's expansion.

Deus Ex series. Play 1 and 3, and you can pretend there was just a big gap between the games.

Bastion is good, but it's not the orgasmic game everyone is touting it as. Cave Story +, the Batman series, Half Life, KotOR, and the Mass Effect series are also good choices to start off with. You should probably break up your AAA titles with some of the indie bundle games, so you don't exhaust your list of longer titles immediately.

Was Invisible War really that bad? I heard some stuff about it being pooey, but never really actually looked at reviews. I'll probably start with Bastion, then play one more smaller game, then I dunno which AAA I should go at..

It was okay as a game, but a bad part of the Deus Ex series, if that makes sense. It was definitely a step down from the first title. Might be worth a look if you're feeling bored one day, though.
