Favorite Games

  • Outcast - Best looking water and great KI for that time (1999), great action-adventure with free explorable world and lots of secondary quests.
  • GTA serie - Free world and a lot to discover, lots of secondary tasks and mini games, very many cars/airplanes/ships
  • Freespace 1 / 2 - I finished Freespace 1 the first time in one night together with a friend of mine. Great game with a exciting story. And the game is not so short.
  • The Longest Journey - Breath taking Click-And-Point adventure with an absorbing SciFi-Middle-Age mix story
  • Monkey Island series - Probably best humor in a computer game
  • Mafia - Great Story, realistic world, a bit crazy FreeRide-Mode (CDs don't work anymore!!)
  • Jagged Alliance - Most exciting round based action strategy game
  • Yagger - Unique 3D-shooter air battle game, has a little bit the style of Aquanox.
  • Ikaruga - Dreamcast/GameCube/Wii vertical scroller with innovative game play. (Check out the flash version of Ikaruga on Newgrounds)
  • XIII - shooter in comic style (cell shading) (pretty unique concept) with deep and exciting story
  • Beyond Good & Evil - Jump and Run with perfect atmosphere. Everything fits!

and many more… :)
