Soon Starcraft 2 will be out. That reminds me that it got very intensive with warcraft I & II also.

Come to think of it i also got heavily involved with warcraft 2 & 3 and am currently hooked on dot a allstar which is one heck of a fun game on LAN and not much of a single player game lol

Braid. It wasn't how I played it, but how the game itself played out to me. I have learned more about life from this game than any other form of entertainment.

Most people still don't understand the game, and all I can say is: too bad for them!

Wow, can't say I ever learned anything from a game. Might have to give this one a try.

Deux Ex was the first game to really suck me on PC, and one of the early Resident Evil's on PS. System Shock2 and HL were next, and I found Mafia really captivating. Played for like 20 hours straight.

Thief deadly shadows (the asylum) and particularly Alien v's Predator2 (what the hell weas that?! - watch out, behind y....) probably gave me the most 'shivers up the spine' moments though......

I have to admit that the most "totally immersive' experience for me now though is the pvp and general "if I die I'll lose near everthing" intensity of EVE online. Awsome.

Since a LOT of my favorites have been mentioned here, and one hasn't...

Assassin's creed anyone? COME ON! Nobody seriously?!
I played it on PC too (If I can get improved graphics, I'm Pcin it, Mass effect too)

I was pissed at the ending, freaking sequel bastards, Oh I was so like, I'm going to straight kill that mofo without him seeing me.

Granted the side puzzles got irritating if you were trying for the achievements because it was the same, but just the escape was VERY NICE.

For me the most immersive were the good old games. Like Wizardry VII, the EOB series, Dune II, Outcast, TIE Fighter, Wing Commander series, Unreal, Fallout. From the newer games it would be Mafia.

recent: MGS4 on Sony XBR 46" on a 1500 watt Definitive home theatre, running at 120hz 1080p, watching Snake struggle for his last mission

Of all time: really hard to say, some memorable moments in Doom 3 like Z said (even though the game sucked overall) or the first and third Splinter cells (chaos theory on this system was fairly solid).

Good ol EAX

I'd have to say the original Quake and Doom along with the grenade launchers and the whole dungeon arena feel really was by far the funnest gaming experience for me. Hell it's what got me hooked on online gaming to begin with. I remember people using them rat bots and shooting rockets out of there asses haha good times.

My most immersive experience was with KOTOR. I wasted 24 hours without resting playing it, loving the story, the choices, the game was HUGE.
Unfortunately, I can´t say the same when speaking about KOTOR II, the word is disappointed. The game was released with argument flaws and there were strange scenes.
Later, the only game that I have been obsessed with has been Mass Effect. Great gaming experience, a lot of choices, a lot of options, a lot of skill, a lot of action, a lot of......everything. I´ve enjoyed every second playing it. Now, waiting from the secuel where you can play from your saved game in the first part and see the consequences of you choices. I can´t wait to play it.

BlueMak · Jul 15, 2009, 09:02 PM

I have to say from recent times Mass Effect is one of the best/most immerse? games. It's like its own Star Trek episode, spanning 40+ hours (first time took me 42 hours IIRC).

On PC i would tell Far Cry 2 the game is simply amazing... I really like the fact that you can destroy each branch from a tree one by one or how the climate and time change affects the gameplay... There's also Call OF Duty 4 and Assassin's Creed with an Awesome Gameplay and Graphic

On Console i would definitely tell the Metal Gear Series for Its Gameplay / Story, The Bosses and The Weapons... There's also the Grand Turismo Series, and Devil May Cry Series

there are lot but i dont want to tell them all :P

deBelly · Jul 30, 2009, 09:28 AM

For me it was Fallout 2, I was absorbed for weeks. The first Unreal was impressive. Oh, and Aliens vs. Predator, too. Ahh, good old days...
I never liked Bethesda's games much, don't know why.
More recently, I really enjoyed R6 Vegas.
