Bio2hazard: Hey =)
No, I have not gotten any trades yet so yeah I am interested =)
Suprise suggestion would be good, even though It'd be best if you'd mention the game you have in mind before hand, as I have played literally thousands of games ( so my list is far crom complete ).
I've been somewhat eyeing Original Combat since it seems like something I would enjoy, but I'm on the fence on that one. Also been looking at Advent Rising. I also have never touched MDK and MDK 2 even though they are supposed to be excellent games.
But those are just honorable mentions, in the end, I'd like a suprise that you would think suits me. I'm a pretty easygoing fellow and I find something to like in almost every game out there so shouldn't be too hard =D
Go ahead and post your list and we can get this thing going!
LordCinnamon: I prefer to give I game I played myself. Judging from your list, Jagged Alliance 2 seems a perfect choice. If you instead feel like something that's completely different from everything on your list, Psychonauts is something else I'm considering. It's a game I had a *lot* of fun with. I'm also considering gifting you Original War (you meant that one with Original Combat, right?), since that's been on my wishlist for quite some time as well.
My list:
Sacrifice
Giants
Fallout 1+2+tactics
Ghost Master
Arx Fatalis
Beyond Good and Evil
Simon the Sorceror
Descent 1+2+3
HoMM III
MM pack
Earth 2160
Cannon Fodder
Jagged Alliance 2(+unfinished business&wildfire)
Freespace 1+2
Disciples 2
Gothic 1+2
Stonekeep
Pro Pinball: Timeshock
Septerra Core
Gorky 17
The Guild
Sacred
MDK 1+2
Warlords Battlecry
Divine Divinity
Psychonauts
Sanitarium
Spellforce
UT2004
My dislikes are pretty much the same as yours, no racing games or flights sims. I just got into adventure games and haven't played any that are not already on my list. I also like 2d/3d platform games, tactical games, RPGs and strategy games. Shooters are a bit risky, they'd need to do something special to entertain me.
Well, just tell me if you have a preference for one of the three I mentioned, I'll let you surprise me.
Hey :D
Alas .. I've been playing Jagged Alliance 2 ever since it came out and forgot to add it to my list.. I apologize :D I've been playing so many games that my memory on games is a bit foggy ( or rather, if i'd list them all I'd be busy for way too long =D ).
But you are right in your choice, I absolutely love that game to death. The only game i have found to come close to the tactical depths of JA2 would be Silent Storm 2 which ironically is impossible to find on digital distribution. I actually imported it from the UK for about 20 bucks a week ago and found it does not run on my Vista machine. /sad
I have also played Psychonauts, which I also loved. On Xbox 360 originals though which is why i forgot to list that.
I'd be cool with Original War ( yeah thats what I meant, my bad! ), or anything else you can think of.
I'll try to put together a more concrete games of what I have that is available on GoG:
I have / have played:
Arx Fatalis
Beneath a Steel Sky
Beyond Good & Evil

Flatout
Ghost Master

Unreal Tournament + 2004
Warlords Battlecry 3
Phew, thats the whole list. Probably should have listed that from the beginning so really sorry, my bad ( the first list i was doing from memory, not looking at the games available on GoG. This time its 100% accurate! )
Suprise me! This time I have named every single game on GoG that I either own or have played to oblivion when it came out.
Based on your list, I have picked a game I think you would like and I have gifted it to your gmail: Prince of Persia - Sands of Time.
It was a very close call between The Longest Journey and Sands of Time, with Sands of Time winning ever so slightly for just being generally awesome with a very innovative feature.
Sands of Time is, along with Mario 64 and Psychonauts are my most favorite 3D Platformer, and as far as pure platforming goes it is easilly better than Mario and Psychonauts put together. The combat is not that enjoyable in this installment, but the story is dreamy, the characters are well fleshed out, the lead character is likeable and the gameplay very smooth. Enjoy! And if you feel like checking out a adventure game, The Longest Journey is probably your best bet =)
