GTA 4

Playing the story of Niko Bellic. The game starts when Niko arrived at Liberty City to escape his past, and also to check his cousin Roman.

As the game progress, Niko found out that the person he's trying to hide from is in Liberty City.

He has to choose, either kill his old enemy or try to left things behind.

I love this game because it's a sandbox type of game. Meaning, you can choose not to follow the main story immediately. You can roam around the city. Hijack cars, kill innocent people (which I love the most), perform insane stunts.

The game itself is limitless, it would depend on your own imagination.

This game is a must have.

Left4dead

From Valve (the creators of Counter-Strike, Half-Life and more) comes Left 4 Dead, a co-op action horror game for the PC and Xbox 360 that casts up to four players in an epic struggle for survival against swarming zombie hordes and terrifying mutant monsters.

Set in the immediate aftermath of the zombie apocalypse, L4D's survival co-op mode lets you blast a path through the infected in four unique “movies,” guiding your survivors across the rooftops of an abandoned metropolis, through rural ghost towns and pitch-black forests in your quest to escape a devastated Ground Zero crawling with infected enemies. Each "movie" is comprised of five large maps, and can be played by one to four human players, with an emphasis on team-based strategy and objectives.

New technology dubbed "the AI Director" is used to generate a unique gameplay experience every time you play. The Director tailors the frequency and ferocity of the zombie attacks to your performance, putting you in the middle of a fast-paced, but not overwhelming, Hollywood horror movie.

• Addictive single player, co-op, and multiplayer action gameplay from the makers of Counter-Strike and Half-Life
• Versus Mode lets you compete four-on-four with friends, playing as a human trying to get rescued, or as a zombie boss monster that will stop at nothing to destroy them.
• See how long you and your friends can hold out against the infected horde in the new Survival Mode
• An advanced AI director dynamically creates intense and unique experiences every time the game is played
• 20 maps, 10 weapons and unlimited possibilities in four sprawling "movies"
• Matchmaking, stats, rankings, and awards system drive collaborative play
• Designer's Commentary allows gamers to go "behind the scenes" of the game
• Powered by Source and Steam

Fallout Tactics, Brotherhood of Steel

My third game from Fallout sequel.

This game though is very different compared to the other two games that I've played. You're in command of 5 squad members who you can mold into one mean fighting squad.

Tactical Squad-Based Combat comes to the Fallout® Universe!

You are the wretched refuse. You may be born from dirt, but we will forge you into steel. You will learn to bend; if not you, will you break. In these dark times, the Brotherhood - your Brotherhood - is all that stands between the rekindled flame of civilization and the howling, radiated wasteland.

Your weapons will become more than your tools, they will become your friends. You will use your skills to inspire the lowly and protect the weak... whether they like it or not. Your squadmates will be more dear to you than your kin and for those that survive there will be honor, respect and the spoils of war.

Fallout 2

Second RPG Game I've played.

I was never disappointed by Black Isle Studios for developing Fallout 2.

Fallout 2 is the sequel to the critically acclaimed game that took RPG'ing out of the dungeons and into a dynamic, apocalyptic retro-future.

It's been 80 long years since your ancestors trod across the wastelands. As you search for the Garden of Eden Creation Kit to save your primitive village, your path is strewn with crippling radiation, megalomaniac mutants, and a relentless stream of lies, deceit and treachery. You begin to wonder if anyone really stands to gain anything from this brave new world.

Mastering your character's skills and traits for survival, Fallout 2 will challenge you to endure in a post-nuclear world whose future withers with every passing moment...

First Game I've played.

Have you heard of post apocalyptic scenario game?

First time I heard about it, it was 1995.

It's a tactical Role Playing Game (RPG) called Fallout 1.

You've just unearthed the classic post-apocalyptic role-playing game that revitalized the entire CRPG genre. The Fallout SPECIAL system allows drastically different types of characters, meaningful decisions and development that puts you in complete control. Explore the devastated ruins of a golden age civilization. Talk, sneak or fight your way past mutants, gangsters and robotic adversaries. Make the right decisions or you could end up as another fallen hero in the wastelands.

It was my first time to play RPG games. And it captured my heart so badly I looked for it's sequel Fallout 2.
