Games with great atmosphere

[StormHammer]

List games that do a really good job setting the mood and making you feel like you are really there.
I'll start by getting an obvious few out of the way..
S.T.A.L.K.E.R,
Metro 2033,
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1 (I haven't played the second, but I'll admit the first one did a good job setting the mood.),
Morrowind,
Oblivion

[CharadesV2]

Mass Effect and Fable: The Lost Chapters.

I agree with everything in the OP besides CoD, I didn't care for the singleplayer.

[Nautsabes]

Bioshock
Cryostasis

[AlphaWeeaboo]

Fallout 3 had a pretty good atmosphere, you can just feel everyones struggle to live.
the Silent Hill series always had some what of a lonely atmosphere, however it wasn't "big" enough
and in some ways GTA4 had some good feeling to it. I felt like i was really in a modern day new york only with really messed up physics and more open crime.

[ComboTroop]

Half-Life 2. The most obvious one out.

[Xereno]

Bad Company 2

[Skyward]

Bioshock.

[Woes]

Call of Cthulhu was pretty atmospheric

[Nova25]

Minecraft!

[bionic0n3]

Nearly any game from Bioware

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Mass Effect 1&2 get pretty deep
Dragon Age Origins & expansion are pretty crazy, hard to get into but once you do it gets insane.

[Nipa]

GTA: Vice City

[MisterMooth]

Call of Cthulhu

[Drasnus]

Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon had great atmosphere.

[hehe]

Project Reality.

run run run run run drive drive drive run run run run shovel shovel shovel drive drive drive drive run run shovel shovel shovel. shoot at the horizon. run run run die

god i love that game.

[Sitkero]

I loved the atmosphere of Halo: ODST
Just wandering around looking for the superintendent stuff, and listening to the music, totally just lost myself for a while.
I can't really bring any others to mind that haven't already been mentioned.

been thing about getting it how long did the game take you?

[jr059375]

Uncharted 2
Killzone 2

KZ2's audio and visual's are brilliant, I played it on a 1080i TV with surround sound and it just felt so intense.

[Desaster56]

Portal gives you that feeling.
You know exactly what I'm saying.

Crysis.

[Vizx]

I'd say Mirror's Edge really nails the feeling of a utopian totalitarian regime.

[MutantBadger]

I don't know why Halo ODST got rated dumb. It had a great atmosphere/music pairing.

It was a morality core they installed after I flooded the Enrichment Center with a deadly neurotoxin, to make me stop flooding the Enrichment Center with a deadly neurotoxin. So get comfortable while I warm up the neurotoxin emitters."[/i]

[MegaChalupa]

The opening sequences of Half Life 2 and the train track/sewer run are amazing.

[jr059375]

[QUOTE=bud389;21222200]Crysis.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, yeah, Crysis beats all :downs:

The reason I said Audio and Visual is because of it's immersion. The quality on Crysis' audio is normal, but some games push it with more ambiance and impact to make a scene more moving to the viewer.

[FunkyHippo]

I would have to go with Infamous. No seriously, I thought the game's setting was perfect. Quarantined city, everyone is starving, sick, helpless, and scared. And now look at the detailed crazy dacaying city in the game, with's it's strange, dark, and gritty soundtrack, with all those fucked up infected gang members/thugs that basically run all the islands.

It has the best setting for the story.

[raccoon2112]

Escape from butcher bay was hella atmospheric

[GuitarMonkey]

Even though this has already been mentioned at least twice, I'm going to have to say [I]Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth[/I]. Also, [I]Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30[/I] deserves an honorable mention.
