this was on retro gamer years ago.. you are on a desert island and can only bring 5 games with you...name them???
Mass Effect 1 and 2, Fallout 3 (never played it but I imagine it's a game to be played 1000 times before you run out of stuff to do), Stalker: CS/SoC, complete HL2 collection (when it's out, inevitably including Portal 2 and HL1 etc).
They'd have to be 5 sprawling sandbox games for me, just so I could spend hours/months/years farting about doing nothing. GTA4, Fallout3 and Burnout Paradise come to mind first off. Just Cause 2 maybe.
Half Life 2 (including its "expansions"), Crysis, GTAIII, either Grid or Dirt and...possibly one of the newer Tomb Raiders. Actually scratch that - CoD2, still play it online mucho hours a week Doesn't even matter if there's no internet, 1 disk lan cheesecake
Personally I tired of it really quickly. Seemed like there were way fewer sidequests than Oblivion and also the setting wasn't as immersive IMO. I barely managed one playthrough before I put it down. For me: BFBC2, Mass Effect 2, Oblivion, Halo 3 p), racing game to round it off, probably burnout paradise
Forza 3, NeverWinter Nights with expansions (that's 3 discs), Slayer's South of Heaven CD... oh wait... a game... hmmm... Mass Effect
Deus Ex No One Lives Forever Baldur's Gate 2 Hitman: Blood Money GTA IV ...Or, wait - does an MMO count?
GTA 4, Assassin's Creed 2, Oblivion, Fallout 3 (both with their modding program), Mass Effect 2 yes, i'm a modder
Hmm... Oblivion (with all DLCs and modding app), Fallout 3 (with all DLCs and modding app), Dragon Age (with all DLCs and modding app), Mass Effect 2 and Neverwinter Nights with all expansions and modding app. Should leave me sorted for a while until I manage to construct a satellite TCP/IP link out of banana leafs and coconuts.
Crysis, Motorhead, System Shock 2, Supreme Commander and open TTD as being stuck on a deserted island should give me enough time to figure out how bloody signals work :/
PvZ Front Mission 3 Pokemon (not a "disk" i know, but no where did it say pc only) another OpenTTD vote to I can build more failtrains diablo 2
lol imagine how long it would take to download all them games on rubbish mobile broadband. i was using my mates the other day and took my about 25mins to fully open one of the pages on the demotivate thread
ooh good question... Diablo 2 & lord of destruction Battlefield 2 Not many other games I can swear to have spent so many hours on...
BF:BC2 / GTA IV / Batman: Arkham Asylum / COD 4 / FM2010 As much as I love my shoot-em up's, I'd still need my fix of football in the week. The only one I'd want to play on-line would be BC2.
