The thief series is by far the most engrossing pair of games that I have ever played. Return to the Cathedral in TDP was the scariest level of all. I had to quit playing for a couple of weeks just to get up the nerve to sneak past those haunts and the ghosts that throw the skulls....man great memories. I can't wait for Thief 3!
Baldur's Gate Series. The game that got me into role playing. I was a jock in school, I played football, basketball and baseball.....I always thought D&D was just some lame geek thing....man was I wrong! The npc depth and interaction, especially in the sequal is a feat of gaming that hasn't been replicated in any other game. I guess this is the reason that Neverwinter Nights was a huge flop IMO.
Legacy of Kain Series. See the previous post on these games.
Planescape - Torment. Most of what I believe has been posted by others.
Also in 2K I got Soul Reaver from a bargain bin for the pc. I was hooked, especially after playing the original Blood Omen so I knew the depth of the story.
In SR2 when you can hear Voridor in the background when you're in another part of the Sarafan keep....that sent shivers up my spine.
BTW, blincoln, I'm a big fan of yours and check your site at least three times a week! What's this about Defiance? =)

Yes! I just read about it on the nosgoth forums....wow. Let's just hope this one comes out for the PC as well.
