YAPMNGT (Yet another pick my next game thread)

Are these threads allowed?

Anyway, just finished Mass Effect II. Great game. Will probably replay it at some point but not immediately. Immediately preceding ME2 was ME1. I loved both these games and wish ME3 was out right now so I could play it for hours on end. Before ME1 was Mirror's Edge wish I also really enjoyed and was definitely worth $5.

Choices (Unless otherwise noted, I haven't started/played these games before):

Assassin's Creed (I)
Broken Sword Collection
Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box
Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena/Escape from Butcher Bay remix
Commander Keen: Complete Pack (played the first three in about 1993... these were my first computer games ever, I think)
Company of Heroes and expansion
Crayon Physics
Crysis and Crysis: Warhead
Dead Space
Defense Grid: Awakening
Dragon Age: Origins
Far Cry
FreeSpace II SCP (source code project)
id Super Pack - Doom 1-3, Quake 1-3, Heretic, Hexen, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, etc (I played a lot of these when they came out, but its been a while)
The Longest Journey
Neverwinter Nights 2 (the last 1/3 - I got to a little after the beginning of Act III and stopped for a while)
NWN2 Mask of the Betrayer
NWN2 Storm of Zehir
Painkiller Black (I think I played the original when it came out)
Penumbra Trilogy
Psychonauts
Red Faction: Guerrilla
Sid Meier's Pirates! (2004 version)
Stalker: SoC (played it when it came out but thinking of playing it again with mods)
Stalker: Clear Sky
Supreme Commander
Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II
Titan Quest and TQ: Immortal Throne
Trine
World in Conflict and expansion
World of Goo (~second half or so)
Zombie Driver

Damn, I need to stop buying games. Curse you, Steam!

I've played Crayon Physics, Defense Grid & World of Goo and Zombie Driver and enjoyed all of them. I need to work on my Steam backlog also...

I just threw a dart at my screen and came up with Knights of the Old Republic.

Now where did I put my microfiber cloth...

This is probably a good idea. Like I said I really enjoyed Bioware's later SF RPGs (ME1 & 2), so it stands to reason that I would like KOTOR. One of my good buddies works at Obsidian and worked on all the cinematics for KOTOR2 so I owe it to him to play that game at some point as well.

I looked at some FAQs for Dragon Age and it looks like the game requires some serious commitment. I think I stopped playing NWN2 a while back because there was a lot to manage and it almost seemed like work. I absolutely did not have that problem with ME1 or 2, I donno what it is about high fantasy that seems more difficult for me nowadays. It's a bit odd because I played Baldur's Gate II way back in the day and really, really liked it.

I'd agree with that.

I bet you'll like almost all of those games.

My favorites out of your list:
Defense Grid: Awakening
Dragon Age: Origins
Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II
World in Conflict and expansion

If you liked BG2 you'll probably love Dragon Age.
