Okay, so, I need recommendations for good Steampunk games. I'm not sure if any (besides Bioshock) exist, but I'd really like to know if anyone has played or heard of any cool games about the Steampunk genre or has Steampunk elements.

Fallout series
There's a new one coming out by the makers of Doom, can't remember the name of it though...

The Thief series for an unholy mix of steampunk and arcane rituals.
Not steampunk, but play it anyway.miracleofsound said:
Yeah, I have all the Fallout games. Though I don't really consider it Steampunk, it sure as hell is awesome. Fallout 3 was a bit of a disappointment though. But that's another story for another topic another time.
Im waiting for the game Edge of Twilight by Fuzzy Eyes Studios. I dont know when its gonna be released, but I'll wait just the same
Not strictly, no, but a lot of the visual aesthetic is reminiscient of the steampunk style.pigeon_of_doom said:
The name is Rage. It's by id, so I don't see how it could be anything but great.miracleofsound said:
I think you are just mistaking the Victorian trappings of the 1950s culture for elements of steampunk. Fallout fits squarely in the post-apocalptical period piece style for me.miracleofsound said:
Final Fantasy 6 has a very steampunk asthetic
Skies of Arcadia is sort of steam punky
Lost Odyssey has some heavy steampunk technology in it.
Xenogears is very steam punkish
On the Rainslick Precipice of Darkness is some good steampunk fun
Steambot Chronicles is slightly steampunkish
The original Grandia has some Steampunk Elements.

Nope, it is simply my untrained eye (I don't know anything about the history of steampunk) noticing similarities between some of the crazy steampunk inventions and the Fallout weapons and items like the pip boy or rock-it launcher... the feeling of things that aren't originally designed to fit together fitting together in a bizarre but pleasing hybrid.pigeon_of_doom said:
Plus they called it steampunk in some magazine and everyone knows that you should believe everything you read, right?
I wasn't going anywhere near as deep as victorian trappings of the 1950s culture... lol
I don't know loads about the genre either, but with Fallout it just seemed to me that the Victorian sensibilities and the steam based technology (two huge aspects of steampunk) were missing. The technology in Fallout is quite primitive and haphazard, but thats in keeping with the setting.miracleofsound said:
