Expanding my empire of stone fortresses and bridges! Just be glad that you are playing the PC version, the ps3 version used to crash every 5-10 minutes after 50 hours of playing.

Castlemier Z. The creative mode is lots of fun but the enemies are pretty damn annoying. Even on the "Easy" mode the enemies can kill you with 2 hits! Some of them have this weird ability to make really long jumps and to add insult to injury, the weapon handling and the gunplay are terrible! The crafting system on the other hand is pretty neat. There is a list of items you can craft and the components you need for crafting, pure and simple! I am playing the Creative Mode. It's fun to build stuff and you always have the option to turn the enemies on/off in case they bother you with your crafting and mining. It's pretty visuals and great art direction vs. bad writing and boring gameplay. PS+ was offering it free of charge to subscribers a few months ago but I couldn't be bothered to finish it.

FarCry 3, second playthrough. At this point I think i's safe to say that this game has been the most entertaining FPS since Goldeneye 64. The story still leaves a lot to be desired but that's hardly noticeable when there so much to do and see aside from the story missions and such.

Rise of the Triad. It's pretty good if you are looking for a fast-paced, old-school shooter.

Aqua Nox. I am loving the writing and the story. Voice-acting is pretty cheesy though. Oh there is no need for shame, that level is the ultimate ass-kicker when it comes to platform games.

Planescape: Torment if you're itching for a good story. Be sure to install the widescreen mods, they make the game look pretty awesome on modern display devices.

Dead Rising: Off The Record brought my Drakensang playthrough to a long halt! Finding combos and trying different challenges was a blast. Definitely recommended if you are looking for a zombie sandbox game. You can either go for the story mode or simply start on sandbox mode if you are more into exploring. You can also start a New Game+ at any given moment and you get to keep all of your upgrades. Also, played a little more Drakensang today. It still hasn't lost its touch since the last time I played it. Almost everything you see in the game world serves it's purpose at some point. The world around you feels alive and is fun to explore.

Ken Levine shuts down Irrational Games and starts a new, small studio
Interesting! I wonder what he can come up with once he has total freedom. An original title? free-roaming sandbox rpg with serious plot, narrative and lore and all that stuff? Time will tell!

Playing some Dead Rising: Off The Record when I'm not playing Drakensang. Forgot how fun the Sandbox mode is.

what is your worst rpg game ever played?
As with Neverwinter Nights, I tend to give Oblivion somewhat of a pass because I think of those games with the expansions included. For NWN, the excellent HotU bails the otherwise ho-hum game out. In my opinion, Shivering Isles is the best thing Bethesda has ever developed, which is what bails Oblivion out for me. Also, like with any Bethesda game, you can just ignore the dreadful main campaign, **** around, and create your own wacky adventures, though there is no way around the atrocious level scaling. It's weird, because I usually tend to give Dragon Age 2 a pass. I know it sounds crazy! but despite it's mediocre combat, repetitive level design and it's somewhat ugly visuals it made me really think before choosing sides between Templars and Mages, because they each had their good and bad parts. Same thing went for the most the choices I made in the game, I like it when the line between "good" and "bad" fades. This was something that was completely absent in Oblivion. Did you even have any real choices in the game besides choosing your race and class? The best Bethesda ever developed was The Pitt DLC in my opinion.

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion was a real drag.

Hmmm, let's take a look at a few FPS games released in 1999: Requiem: Avenging Angel Aliens versus Predator Kingpin: Life of Crime System Shock 2(Bonus!) Medal of Honor Quake III Arena The Wheel of Time Half Life: Opposing force While none of these games are like what you described(except for Quake 3 maybe...), can someone please tell me why they have decided to call it 1999 mode?! Also, the Quake and DOOM your looking for weren't released in 1999, you should keep an eye out for a 1996 mode.

Bioshock: Infinite on 1999 difficulty. I am also avoiding the Dollar O Bill vending machines for the achievement(I never really used them in my first or second playthrough, a real challenge would be to finish the game on 1999 mode without upgrading any weapons). I am past Heros Hall and so far things have been going on without a hassle.

Just finished Metro: Last Light. It's like Metro 2033 but simply better in every possible way(Story, Gameplay, Visuals, Controls...). A very enjoyable experience from start to finish. Highly Recommended! I also replayed Bioshock: Infinite and I liked it a little better this time around. I suddenly found the whole quantum-physics-themed-story to be entertaining. ...and now, I need money for Age of Decadence.

That's Drakensang, a game in the The Dark Eye universe(a german Roleplaying game). You should definitely give it a try, it's a rewarding experience right from the start. The only thing that has annoyed me so far is the camera, it can be pretty bothersome to constantly change the camera in closed spaces and dungeons. On a different note, I just noticed that Metro: Last Light and Bioshock: Infinite are now available on the PS Plus Instant Game Collection...*faints*
