Hearts of Iron 3 is coming out this year according to the most reliable source on the subject.

I'd have to go with Schizoid.

Takes two brains rather than one. Unless you're like this Uberschizoid kind of guy that controls both ships... You'd have to be Einstein at best, or Santa Claus at least

I really liked Planescape: Torment - it's probably the best RPG ever made, and really fits the bill as an intelligent game. Any games with major implication of morals or games that challenge our understanding of reality can probably be put into this cathegory - though games with plot twists that completely baffle the player are great.

As for intelligent games, the nominees are: Planescape: Torment, Portal, Monkey Island (naturally) and chess.

I also like Risk, but that's just to satisfy my lust for world domination.

It has to be the monkey islands

Braid

You are all wrong.

Anyone played dwarf fortress?

Yes, its fucking hard and highly amusing

 

[E.v.a.n.g.e.l]

Bioshock, especially if you read Ayn Rand books.
or
Civilization- crushing the Germans and America with the country of Japan.
and give or take,
NWN2 MOTB
It had a very deep storyline.

A really awesome and smart flash game!
Funny as hell too.

Planescape Torment had the most intelligent dialogue options (game developers should employ more philosophers and learned writers for their games)

Dwarf Fortress... intelligent... I'm not convinced it is actually intelligent but it does demand a good amount of planning and imagination from the player. (and is free)

mah-jong I think that's how you spell it, that game is challenging and so is Go, that drove me up the bloody wall

 

[VariableGear]

Nothing fits the bill.

portal that is this hardest game i have ever played. Makes my head hurt just thinking about it xD

Wasn't too hard, but just the right difficulty for me.
Personally, Deus Ex was the deepest.

 

[SP MeaslyBinkie]

Penumbra series.

 

[jboking]

Dues Ex, System Shock 2, Portal and Metal Gear Sold. All for different reasons.

 

[request]

i have to say the whole orange box there all great and inivative

 

[MiracleOfSound]

This isn't the most advanced game, but Rainbow 6: Vegas 2 requires thought.

.

The thought I had the most playing that game was 'god I hate this game'

 

[McClaud]

Penumbra series.

I don't know if that's really an intelligent series or a MIND-BOGGLING one.

You are all wrong.

Anyone played dwarf fortress?

God I hate you. Thank you for reminding me of the crack simulation game I put down a year ago.

And Hearts of Iron ... holy frakking crap. Ran me into the ground, the second one did.

RUSE looks good

 

[Da_Schwartz]

[Lord_Seth]

Chess.
