Games with great atmosphere - Games

STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl Fallout Portal Half Life

Doom

Morrowind

I thought Oblivion's atmosphere was just kind of "meh" but still a great game though.

One thing I loved the most about sci fi games is their epic soundtracks, my most favorite would have to be anything from the jet force gemini developers need to make their shit epic like odst and jet force gemini. Listen: FUCKING SERIOUSLY. Give it a listen you'll like it maybe. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji8OG3KwoHA[/media]

Portal is probably one of the most atmospheric games I've played. When you escape from the puzzle chambers and find that the entire place is abandoned and falling apart, is probably one of the most atmospheric parts I've ever seen in a game.

The Penumbra games, Homeworld series (first one is best though).

Cryostasis was really really awesome when it came to the atmosphere, look it up if you don't know, it's a great game.

I would of said L4D2, but then i realized everything is too empty. There is hardly any sign of previous survivors's messages, safe rooms etc. It doesn't feel like a [i]real[/i] apocolypse. I'd probably say either TF2 (obviously) or the original CoD games. It actually felt like a war. Guns screaming in your ears, bullets flying everywhere, all that jazz.

I also appreciate anyone how taxis on choopers or transports. Good work man, keeping the troops going. :)

World of Warcraft BioShock Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines Sam & Max Hit The Road Blade Runner Planescape: Torment Fallout 1&2(can't say for Tactics, 3 felt too much like a mod)

STALKER, WoW: The Burning Crusade, Gears of War, Sins of a Solar Empire, X3: Reunion, Doom 3, etc.

assassin's creed 2

Shadow of the Colossus

Heavy Rain

Metal gear series.

I found the first Unreal game to have a great atmosphere. I loved Nyleve's opening.

Just Cause 2, had an awesome environment!

Penumbra. Shit's scary :ohdear:

[QUOTE=Terragen;21230091]Just Cause 2, had an awesome environment![/QUOTE] Awesome environment but not atmospheric at all IMO.

The first DOW campaign, when fighting chaos.

Fallout 3

To be honest, I'm surprised more people haven't said Half-Life 2.

call of cthulhu

Penumbra...

Definitely if you play as Insurgent, Taliban, or Chechen militia.
