    Yeah, Sacrifice is a gem as well.

    And I personally prefer Dungeon Keeper 1 to 2.

    How about adventure games? I'd recommend The Longest Journey (absolutely beautiful) and its sequel Dreamfall. Fahrenheit (also known as Indigo Prophecy) was fun as well albeit absolutely unbelievable.

    Dreamfall has the most frustratingly s#!t3 combat I've had the displeasure to encounter. A combination of twitchy camera auto-movement (if the room you fight in has a low ceiling, hoo boy, you're gonna loove it), wooden directional control, slow combat manoeuvres (the heavy attack is all but useless, since it leaves you wide open to an often devastating riposte) and generally underpowered attacks. Worse still, there are some instances where you must fight your way through. I'm really thinking about grabbing a trainer (I generally don't use cheats in RPGs, Adventures, Tactics and their respective hybrids).

    For a pure adventure experience, try Benoit Sokal's series (Amerzone, Syberia 1 & 2, though you may want to skip Paradise, it's been panned quite heavily in the mags).

    The combat in Dreamfall while lame is pretty easy as far as the encounters where you must fight, especially when you play as Kian.

    Do yourself a favour and get Planescape Torment from somehere, you've missed a lot. Allways makes me sad seeing lists of RPG:s with the absolute jewel of the genre missing.

    Planescape Torment. Do we dare to give it to Obsidian?

    Try out Total Annihilation, a must have for strategy enthusiasts. Rainbow Six (or Ghost Recon) as well for realistic FPS (but the older titles are better, the new Rainbow Six games have become commercialised for a wider audience and lost its uniqueness).
