Bioware's forums used to be one of my favorite communities back in the days of Neverwinter Nights before the release of the first Dragon Age. This (BioWare situation) and thinking about DotA/MoBA-style games (how they always seem to have hostile communities) has got me thinking about whether you...

I recall HL1 and HL2 having noticeable platforming sections, I don't mind it and I feel it can be good for variety. I probably prefer things 'smoothed over' a bit, so that if I do a decent execution I make it and definitely don't like it when it's too unpredictable (like if the physics engine...

The ones which come to mind are: Borderlands: Secret Armory of General Knoxx Supreme Commander 2 DLC (just some new maps and units) Mass Effect 2 Lair of the Shadow Broker

Rise of Nations 2 gets my vote! I wasn't really impressed with Rise of Legends, but still love RoN.

I haven't played HoN, but I've played a bit of League of Legends and it is meanest gaming community I have experienced, including WoW. Of all genres I've played (including MMO, FPS, RTS) it seems like the MOBA/DoTA games are the worst. It's not 100% of players, but the highest percentage I've...

Pretty sure a game ending isn't a bizarre ploy to get you to buy DLC. The game ending at the conclusion of the game gives closure and makes sense to me. I was really happy with how it ended - my reaction on finishing it was to start another game and try to finish on nightmare and see more of...

I agree there should be RPGs made with both extremes and some of the spectrum in between. I tend to find myself preferring games where the 'skill' is strategic/preparation/planning ahead (WoW, Dragon Age, turn-based) rather than twitch/counter/timing.

Rise of Nations!!! Glad some other people said it. I still hope another game comes along with is like it someday. Rise of Legends was interesting but not really what I wanted. My other favourites are Total Annihilation, Supreme Commander 1 and 2, Ground Control 2. I think Ground Control 2 may...

Some of my favourites: Neverwinter Nights community-made modules - there's so many out there and many (Almraiven, Bone Kenning) are better than the Bioware campaigns and most other RPGs I've played. Rise of nations Ground control 2 Might be hard to get much out of these games these days...

I haven't played a Valve game which I haven't greatly enjoyed, counting Half Life 1/2/Episodes, Portal 1/2, L4D2, TF2, CS, Alien Swarm. I struggle to even pick a least favourite, probably would go with HL2-main-game, I tend to have more fun in multiplayer games with friends so couldn't pick...

I really enjoyed elementals of Dungeon Siege 1 and 2, they were definitely not amazing games, the story was terrible and combat was a little boring but there some great things about them, some good boss battles, nice environments, background loading, some interesting mechanics. I always enjoyed...

Hell no! Game Trailers go right over my head. Every time I watch one I'm usually less enthused about the game than I was before I watched it. I get way more psyched reading interviews with the developers about what they're trying to do, or playing demos. Sometimes there are great...

1. Revolutionary Road 2. House of Sand and Fog 3. Requiem for a Dream - I did find it incredibly depressing and powerful but agree with BobDobolina that it's a little over-the-top manipulative which makes it feel a little less real and therefore easier to escape from the depressing feelings it...

Used to play music when falling asleep but don't anymore, usually went with mellow stuff: Dido, Andy Stochansky, Verve, Sarah Blasko For more recent stuff, The XX sounds like a good idea, maybe Bon Iver, Josh Pyke.

What do you like? Maybe name some of your other favourite games to guide us. Would you download fan made content? Some of these games have sizable amounts of fan created content (esp NWN) Good news is a lot of those games are good :-) My personal suggestions: - NWN:Diamond - HOMM3 > HOMM4...
