System Shock.

That's admittedly closer to 8 or 9 hours for a first time run, depending on the difficulty options you select, but still...

System Shock.

Finishing dinner and getting ready for bed, hopefully.



That's what I should be doing!

I'm not well up on my PC games. I only really know point n' click adventures.

That said, here's a point and click adventure:

I was going to recommend the first one, but its really mean in terms of puzzle design, and frankly, no nearly as good as the second.

this has been fun. I probably won't end up doing anything with it, though. The June, July and August TR games are all ones I'm interested in; there's several new games coming out I'm planning to play; and I was actually thinking that this Summer I may finally tackle Skyrim. So we'll see.

You guys like adventure games tho, huh? :lol:

Virtua Fighter 2 is a great fighting game, but it is really hard. After the third opponent, every single character fights like the final boss in an SNK game...

I now feel like I would be really good fighting against other people, but the computer's ability to counter my every move and leap out of every throw is frustrating, to say the least...
