I am not really a big fan of playing anything that is not with at least one other human being. For this reason most of the games I've ever really loved are FPS that you can play online with/against others. One thing that has always surprised me is how few games actually let you play their "story...

Because I'd like to try some more open-source games. I know of many but I'd like modern open-source games (games actively developed recently)

By programming game, I mean a game that involves programming, like Conway's Game of Life, or games in which you give your character a series of instructions to complete. The other option, though it's not really fully a game, is something like this which requires actual coding and computer know...

Back when I was at school, I remember tinkering with a Mac game where you programmed little robots in a sort of pseudo-assembler language which could then battle each other. They could move themselves around the arena, look for opponents in different directions, and fire some sort of weapon. Pret...

I like playing strategic/puzzle games and now I'm looking for a good Tower Defense game for the PC. Doesn't matter if it's Flash-based or if I can buy it somewhere. Any suggestions? Edit by Gnoupi: To keep things clear, please propose only one game per answer, and don't duplicate the proposi...

I'm looking for games that include procedurally generated content as a major feature; like all levels are generated, enemies, weapons, etc. One per answer please, and pics if you got em! Games that have been mentioned already: Diablo Dwarf Fortress Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, the Eufloria...

I am always on the lookout for card-based games or full CCGs. I haven't been able to find a decent one on the Android Market, though. I would also accept an HTML5 or Flash app that plays well on a Droid.

I'm looking for a few good computer games to engage my 6 month old baby. We currently have Baby Smash installed, and she has fun with it. However, I'd like to see what else is out there.

The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition re-awakened my love of this classic and I'm wondering if there are any modern adventure games of the same style that anyone could reccomend.

My favorite tower defense game I know is Desktop Tower Defense. Yes, it's a flash game. Yes, it has a (less-balanced) facebook version. But it's simple, fun, and is one of the few tower defense games where you really get to build your own maze, rather than just place towers around a pre-built maz...

I'm looking for some games which have offline/local multiplayer mode, and which also are entertaining and enjoyable. We mostly play football games like PES 2010, FIFA 2010 (4 wireless controller and too much fun), and racing games like Forza Motorsport 3, PGR 4, NFS (split screen mode) in snatche...

I recently became interested in Roguelikes. Are there any Roguelikes for PC / Mac, with decent graphics but are 2D (no side-perspective 3D views)? (Good controls are a plus.)

I have always been interested in getting into fighting games but struggle with getting over the steep learning curves often involved; for example, keeping track of all the different button combinations, or naturally figuring out which moves string together the best to make a combo. I figure that ...

I loved Laser Squad and the X-Com games. I wonder if there are any modern takes on this genre.

I love lanning but the bigger LANs I go to are few and far between. What games are there that would suit me and my mates having a blast on a home network? To me, this means games typically suited for players <= 8. Note on answers: Posting only one game per answer allows for more fine-grained ...

I'm looking for massively multiplayer online games whose gameplay is mostly/completely non-violent. The ones I am aware of are: Myst/URU Online (though this is technically barely alive at the moment) A Tale in the Desert To be clear, I don't consider things like Second Life to be games, per ...

I've beaten FFXII and am in the midst of FFXIII and FFVII; I'm a big fan of the role-playing game genre where I am able to explore worlds at my own pace, big storylines and intricate player customization systems. What other role-playing games fit this kind of description that I might also enjoy?

What are the best offline round-based fantasy role play games available?

Today I stumbled upon this: Canvas Cycle: True 8-bit Color Cycling with HTML5 Take some time to see it, it's awesome. And beautiful. And Art. My first reaction was: I have to know if this guy (Mark Ferrari) was ever involved in the design of a game; Turns out I already played some games containi...

Most games follow certain archetypes: a battle between a good force and an evil force via physical means, an attempt to accrue resources or points, or to get from point A to point B. I'm looking for a game that doesn't fit any of said archetypes, but instead provides some unusual form of game pl...

Recently I noticed my 8 year old nephew playing GTA IV, (no wonder why he carries a toy gun and there has been recent fighting in school.) Could you people please recommend some non-violent games for this age group; because I know he won’t quit playing games and it will be better if I can change...

My title is the question. I understand that multi player mode requires huge investment and effort from whoever hosting the game servers. Also don't take it like I don't want to spend on games. I have a huge cost barrier to buy original games where I live. I try to buy original games now and then...

Hi! I used to play a lot of the Geoff Crammond's Grand Prix games (1-4). The game was about making the best setup for a formula-1 car. Of course, first it was about driving, but when you had learned the track, the driving was quite easy and it was all about the setups. And making them better th...

I have two small children. No matter how careful I am, they always seem to get their hands on my Wii game discs and scratch them so I can't play them any more. Is there a way I can backup/copy my games so that I'm protected when this happens? It would seem like I should be able to make a byte-...

What are other XBox 360 games along the genre as Alan Wake?

So we have fairly strong support for the idea that recipe requests (AKA "recipe-swapping" questions) should be out of scope for the main site. I'd prefer not to rehash the rationale; for anyone who's not familiar with this subject, please see the following: Should “I need a recipe for X?” ques...

First of all, store your wii games in a location your kids can't reach. (high place) Secondly, Put the wii itself also in a location they can't reach. Now, each time they want to play a game, they will need come to you and ask you friendly if they can play this game and you are the one that is ...

The question was asked: http://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/4590/how-can-i-make-a-backup-copy-of-my-wii-games And I think it's a legitimate question. Maybe he should have used the term "archival" tbetter be in compliant with US copyright law, but shouldn't these questions be allowed? Ther...
