    What, no Quake IV?

    Seriously, though, the omission of Unreal would have qualified as a capital offense. Well done on correcting it.

    Black Stone was awesome. Rise of The triad was excellent, too.

    this game was so awesome. i bought it in 1997 and played it to death. mysteries of the sith was fucking awesome too. the lightsaber fights were cool. imo it was the best jedi knight game of all time.

    Now that's a list

    I don't know many people who've played Requiem, it was kind of unnoticed when it was released but I really enjoyed it! Rise Of The Triad is one of those old games I never played actually

    Btw, Blake Stone screen for ya: [Blocked Image: http://www.oldschooldos.com/screens/blakestone.png]

    Awesome game, really.

    Really.

    Released in 2003 as a sequel to the movie Tron.

    Day of Defeat was released long before 2003, wasn't it?

    I only played the shareware version of this game, but it was pretty revolutionary to me at the time. It was called strife and you could converse with npc's, buy weapons, armor, etc. Almost a pseudo rpg/fps. The game world was pretty unique.

    Anyone remember this? I always wished I had bought it because I had so much fun w/ the demo.

    Yeah. Beta 1 was released in 2001 if I remember correctly. January or February.
