Warcraft III

RPG
Ultima VII, I and II

The Ultima games are seriously the best games ever made. Ultima. Wow. I'm playing around with the Windows XP Exult driver... looks beautiful. That game did something to my head. Every time I make a change to my current RPG it turns more and more into U7. Pretty soon it will be called the ULTIMAte RPG Engine.

Unfortunatley, I don't get much time to play any games, so my list is kind of old. I use my time that I do have to work on my own.

@Drew G - why is that necessary? You just won't stop today, will you?

What exactly happened to Drew G? Banned? Murdered, Matrix style? It's like Agent Smith took over his broken and mangled body after kicking his ass. Kind of scary.

Ultima Underworld 2 .... YES. Awesome game. It'd be horrible to revisit it now, but in it's time, amazing. A very good story line, character development, history and lore, scenarios and environments. I remember the goblin/orc/whatever prison tower was my fave. Walking into the lions den. I have fond memories of some massive beast or something in their that taught me better hand to hand fighting, and then having a punch up with a guard.

@Perokreco
Yep, OF is a quality game, especially for indepth stealthy multiplayer. Custom mission editor and scripting system is superb. Can't wait for OF2 next year.

Are these games from Tecmo? And do they involve the use of a camera?

Because I heard this game mentioned before by another member as an Xbox title and hadn't heard of it and curiously searched the database on Xbox.Com and TeamXbox...

But seeing that the sequel is called Crimson Butterfly I'm going to guess that's the European name for Fatal Frame....
