L.U.R.K. for STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl enhances the game without adding tons of junk or making things easy - in fact, it makes the game harder in most respects. Despite the bugs, IMHO it's the only mod worth playing for that game.

The Witcher 2 and recently released Alan Wake (PC) come to mind. Like someone said, TW2 is only hard because you keep fighting the controls, and Alan Wake is even worse for the same reason. A shame really because I expected much more. Oh, and of course every COD after MW2 is a re-release of...

Larry Laffer from the Leisure Suit Larry series, who else?

Dupre's death in Ultima 7 pt. 2: The Serpent Isle and Eli Vance's on HL2EP2. The latter is why I hate Valve so much for STILL not letting us take sweet revenge.

Somehow I doubt they were going so fast if they took the time to go for headshots. If we are to take the news to the letter, this was an act of sheer revenge, plain and simple.

Third person while sneaking on an unsuspecting prey or checking out how cool my new piece of armor looks, and first person for everything else.

I'm Maximus. Basically because I can't help it if the videos remind me so much of Russell Crowe in Gladiator :-) And again I'm playing as a red guard just like I did in Oblivion so yes, I'm not exactly imaginative...

Cryostasis. I ran out of ammo and found an enemy I couldn't avoid in any way and would shoot me on sight. The game was interesting until that point, then I realized I couldn't be bothered to start all over again.

I can't go past a certain point in Fallout New Vegas: Honest Hearts without crashing. Not that crashing is a rare event in F:NV, mind you... Still, I uninstalled the whole thing, this time for good, and spit on every new DLC they bring out without ever fixing the bugs they carry since the...

They'd run, or crash, much faster.

Nah, that would actually make the random talks make sense...

I'd haunt every politician who steals, lies or otherwise violates the law or deceives people. No time for boredom, for sure.

Because assumption is the mother of all fuckups. Be sure that all that information is valuable to someone, starting by EA who can sell it for free from the moment you accept their ToS (at least in the US as far I can see). Not to mention they could simply get hacked, and they are quite likely...

Aha... So, if you don't have any kiddy porn or otherwise objectionable stuff at home, why do you bother closing the door when you go in or out? Or, assuming you don't carry anything illegal in your pockets, why not let anyone search your body any time they fancy. Really, no offense...

I'm aware of at least one such software preservation project: http://www.softpres.org - it started with "classic" Amiga games but these days I think they do quite a bit more than that. HTH
