If you're into puzzles you could play anything of the Myst series. Very challenging.

Step 1: Goto www.ebay.co.uk
Step 2: Search for 'Excellent Game' '10/10' 'Must have'
Step 3: Note what games you find
Step 4: Buy every game you didn't find

i could consider that investing, as long as its for a commercial purpose, and you could even take it off of your taxes(as long as you live in the good ol usa). But it would have to be for a commercial product that actually makes money.

Torque is has its own suite of tools (Like level & GUI editors), and its own c-style scripting language (called TorqueScript), but you can also edit the engine with a C++ compiler.

Ive never used it, but a lot of Indie games are made with it ...

You could send it to me.

Or get an account on a popular MMORPG and make even more money selling your virtual items on eBay.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Best game I ever payed. It's only $20 now and sells at most game stores or even some Targets.
Don't confuse SWKOTOR with SWKOTOR II, the original/first is way better, although the second is still a wonderful game (but it's better to play second so you get a style of the real gameplay through the first, and for the story).

maybe i didn't enjoy it because i was with a friend and didn't have time to delve into it...but i found that game to be one of the most boring games i've played in my entire life...

though i may have been playing the second one...

though if you are looking for an exstensive rpg and enjoy starwars it might be worth it (i like star wars but i don't really enjoy playing extensive rpgs unless i'm by myself)

TheIndy,
Yes, as I said, KOTOR2 is very good, but you should play KOTOR1 as well. I prefer the first, although the second is still one of the best games I've played.

You do really have to get into the game to like it, and it would be sort of hard playing with a friend. KOTORII was harder to get into, though, if you were playing the second.

Played KOTOR and really enjoyed it but once I got my lightsaber I started rushing through it and kinda got bored of it. Next time I've got some time off I think I'll try and get going with it again.

I think you should buy my professional extensive services in... umm... giving me money. I am great at recieving money, and the investment will be much worth your while (This little fishy wont die -> ). I'd suggest buying a GCN and all of the Resident Evil games... then a PS2 and getting all of the other RE games. And then buying a GBC and getting Resident Evil: Gaiden (Worst RE EVER!). As you may have noted, I like RE .


Got to love Resident Evil 0! Currently playing for the: 5th time

Depends on your system. If you have a GC then get RE4. If you don´t and have a ps2 then wait for RE4 and get it. If you don´t have either buy a GC with RE4. If you don´t have enough cash to buy a GC and RE4 then don´t get anything. There isn´t anything else good out there. I haven´t played a decent game in ages. Even Beyond Good and Evil which is supossible good got boring quickly. Save your money for the next gen and hope to god that it isn´t as bad as this one.

I agree with alex, jump at the oppurtunity to increase you invetory on dev tools, I know I would, but if you want games, look at amazon and look at ratings, can't be arsed to review my fav games

Have to Agree that RE4 on GC is awesome. A game that surprised me is Burnout 3, thats really amazingly fun, even though I usually don't like driving games, the physics and points sytem make it more like an extereme sport, or even a puzzle game, quite sublime. Monkey ball games are fun too, except the poor PS2 port. On PC HL2 and Doom3 are both interesting if you can find them cheap, and Trackmania and Sunrise are both pretty kewl.

Yes!

Burnout 3 is awesome!

I play that game more than anything on my X-Box (I prefer it even to Halo 2), also a good game is Outrun 2, If you can stand the crappy car handling (my freind calls it "Boat on wheels ")

Umm other than that, I would still say Dev Tools.

Or you could buy me DarkGame SDK, Torque, and an Amp II licence... j/k...

O hell yeah Outrun 2 is awesome - the handling is actually pretty much perfect in my opinion, just like old arcade racers like the original Outrun & ChaseHQ Loadsa unlockable stuff too, including the original arcade game
