I actually really enjoyed the Colony Wars games on PS1 (all 3 of them). It was like playing an awesome space combat movie. Still hasn't been anything like it for space flight/combat games only one that came close for me, was Descent: Freepspace (for gameplay mostly, not so much story).

Deus Ex. I just beat it for the first time a few months ago and it is as brilliant as everyone told me it was.

I want to go on record of saying I hate stories in games. I want mindless violence and physics puzzles.

planescape torment

the script length for that game was unreal. pretty sure it was multiple times the length of a typical novel. not even sure i have the patience to make it through it these days. it is wordy like no other.


also no game breaks the 4th wall quite like metal gear solid, it's hilarious.
