I've recently been playing a game called Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy in the US) which is a movie styled kinda gritty horror/action adventure puzzle type game. It deals with adult themes and gameplay and I was wondering if anyone knew any other games out there in a similar vein.

I have a good top end PC but have never used it to play games with (got 3 good PC's and have never played anything more than chess on them) and wondered what was available for the PC that may be similar in style.

I'm looking for games that have adult themes and are all about the story and pulling you in deep into their world, rather than games where all you do is run around and shoot or develope magic skills and the like, think along the lines of Silent Hill and stuff.

Thanks,

Jobe

Good luck lol !

Awws I've been elevated to the level of Geek, I must be getting cooler

I finished Fahrenhiet last night, to me it seemed a little easy and too short, thou it is still a great game with some really cool moments.

So no one has any ideas then? I'm not really into the whole online gaming thing myself. Has anyone played any of the CSI or Law and Order games?

I've heard that the(or one of the?) CSI game(s) is cool. Not that I just helped you any. but yeah... and I like geeks.

You did in a way, I like watching CSI as it is and the local shop has a buy one get one free with the CSI and Law & Order games in that section, so I might just go and get them on Wednesday

Whats wrong with silent hill? Thats about the only game besides undying that ever sucseeded in really scaring the shit out of me.
I'm talking about part one though, part 2 sucseeded in boring the shit out of me.

You can try Dues Ex wich has a pretty good storyline if your into conspirity stuff. Its an pretty old game so its easy on your comp too.
And yeah, undying, story and stuff is by clive barker so it cant get more horror then that. best played with the lights out by the way.

I remember playing Undying about 4 years ago I think and being impressed with the way it looked. Thou if I remember rightly it was a FPS, yes?

I'm not really into them, the only ones I ever played right throu was the original Doom (and it ended up giving me bad dreams cos I played it so much) and the perfect Goldeneye, and ever since playing Turok for the N64 I've suffered motion sickness from most FPS's.

But thanks, I might see if I can find a cheap copy somewhere and give it a try...

Silent Hill, man... particularly Silent Hill 2.

If you're into Star Wars at all, Knights of the Old Republic really had me hooked (as did Republic Commando, but its an FPS).

I was saying not Silent Hill cos I've got 2 & 3...

Games in first person view have evolved since the N64. Besides not all of them involve just shooting various baddies and collecting keycards these days.

Dues Ex is played in first perspective but at least give it a try (altough theres even an option to play it from 3rd perspective if it really bothers you).
like i said its an old game so you can pick it up dirt cheap or download it for a mere 650 mb. Just try it, you might be pleasantly suprised and your faith in games played in first perspective might be restored.

a couple of older games i enjoyed playing and well still do are Icewind dale series and Baldur's gate series.
