cose_vecchie: Maybe you can help me find the titles of these 5 PC games from the past. I only tried them once at a friend's home, somewhere in time between 2000-20004. They were just quick sessions to see how those games looked and played, so I can't give you many details, only "snapshots", so to speak; I hope they're enough for you expert gamers. Of course, take what I write with reserve, I can't swear it's 100% accurate.

1) a first-person mech game; it took place around some planetary base, under a dark sky, and the planet surface was covered in snow.

2) a hack-and-slash game with cartoonish graphics (could be Silver?). The only thing that I remember is that at one point, goblin-like monsters kept coming in until you killed one of them who was calling the others with a trumpet.

3) a strategy game set in the future; it was turn-based, and I remember some sleek boat units. The tutorial had vocal commentary; the instructions were spoken by a deep male voice.

4) an FPS set in a space station(?), with zombies. I remember being jump-scared by one of those, which I promptly shot in the groin.

5) a real-time or turn-based strategy game set in a fantasy world, with top-down view, where you had to build villages, gather resources etc. The only detail that stands out in my memory is that there were little portraits in a very distinctive, almost grotesque style, maybe in the top-left corner. For some strange reason I seem to recall that this was a Russian game. (note: it's not AoW).

skimmie: Deathspank is from 2010 however...the OP said between 2000 and 2004.
