Planescape Torment or Fallout 1 and 2. Really, they'd fit your tastes like a velvet glove of love. Alternately: http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/pc/2007/12/28/the_best_games_you_ve_never_played/1
System Shock and Thief or to recommend something else for once (as I recommend those two all the time) Dungeon Keeper.
Thief is another great suggestion, as is System Shock 2 - but getting them working on modern PCs can be a headache. I'm enjoying Hitman 2 right at the moment.
Three of my housemates are currently playing Fallout 3, two of them often enough to be classified as 'bat-****-insane addicts". It's a really immersive game, by all accounts, and it's huge. I haven't played it myself, mind.
is it addictive or addicting? addicting just seems slightly wrong to me somehow..... in any case i would suggest oblivion if you havent played it yet? play fallout after oblivion i reckon
I couldn't get into Fallout 3 at first. Then, like an overdose of mentats, I can't stop having a dose now and again. I thought I'd got a bit into it, but I've only really scratched the surface. It looks to be immense.
Peggle. There, I said it. Oh, and The Operative: No One Lives Forever. I was thinking about reloading System Shock 2 last night. I know you'll need the patch, the Shock Texture Update and the Rebirth Update to get going.
I still play Tetris 20 years after it came out Have you tried TF2? That's pretty addicting for me and gets (fairly) regular free updates
i play trackmania alot actually (smurf server) as far as fallout goes that just didnt grip me as for thief i did try that once but got distracted by diablo maybe its worth a revisit. SS2 is an option but first im off to install planescape torment which i got this evening
Morrowind and Fallout 3 are fantastic games. Fallout 1 as well (not really played 2 yet). I've banned myself from Morrowind because I spend way too much time playing it.
