I've been thinking about going through Bioshock using only plasmids and a wrench, will probably.

I like to set my self random challenges in games, but the only one I can think of recently is doing a hitman mission without being noticed whilst killing a lot of people.
That and doing as many flips as possible on trials HD on the timed levels whilst still trying to get a gold. Silly me, I just get carried away with the rotations.

Back when Splinter Cell was a stealth based game, I went through Chaos Theory using what I called 'ghost rules'
No unnecessary killing/knocking unconcious (I.E, killing or knocking out someone is an essential plot point)
No alerts
No damage to the scenery (This includes no shooting lights, breaking locks, etc.)
The Bank mission was the funnest one to do these rules on. If you do it right, you leave the level looking exactly as it was when you showed up.

The last real game challenge I did was Alan Wake's "Don't fire a shot from beginning to near end of Episode 6."
Pro-tip: Even though it's possible, try to avoid going for this challenge while on the Nightmare difficulty setting.

I did a 'purple pokemon only' playthrough. Fun stuff. Butterfree, Shelder, Golbat, Rattata, Haunter and Arbok. Good stuff. The thing is though, that Rocket's pokemon are mainly poison types, so most of their attack were useless.Bomberman4000 said:
OT: Fable: TLC. Mage-only (I cheated by adding guile for money and health because I don't like a skinny hero and it seemed like a good fall-back). It is pathetically easy (I never touched on my health BTW), the only trouble comes with the final final boss, a.k.a. Dragon-Jack (it's been a ka-jillion years, it isn't a spoiler at this point), and that isn't 'trouble' so much as his defence means that my spells did shit all damage. So it was time-consuming, not hard.
I'm a total perfectionist when it comes to stealth games. I do thief without interacting with guards in any permanent way (i.e. no killing/knocking out, only distraction) and no alerts. Actually, now that I think about it I do that for pretty much all my stealth games except maybe hitman. In mgs2, I went almost the entire way without killing/knocking out a single guard and no alerts but there is a room in shell 2 that literally cannot be done that way
The circular room with the ladder down to the sniping part
Old splinter Cells 100% completion on levels.
Splinter Cell conviction, realistic difficulty, melee only. (one wrong move and you're done)
Rainbow Six games, pistol only, sniper only; things like that.
L4D2 Melee, pistol only.

There was a level in the new goldeneye featuring the Russian Army during the first use of the EMP satellite, and I decided it was wrong to kill them, as they were non-aggressors, so I only snuck and punched my way through it til I found the baddies.
playing dawn of war soul storm online and only using teir 1 units to win the game.
i lost like %45 of the time, but it was fun.

I play every single game doing a solo character and/or no magic/ranged run.
Every. Single. Game. Yes. Ranged includes guns.
The only time I'll ever use magic/ranged/another character is if the game absolutely REQUIRES you to use it to proceed. (Most recent example is the final/cutscene bosses in Dead Space 2. If you get near it, you get instant-killed, so I used an unupgraded Plasma Cutter for that.)
Some games really make it hard, though, like Final Fantasy VII. (Over three bosses had instant-kill attacks. I needed Meteorain to beat Reno...)

I've done a few runs of the first 5 TR games using only pistols. I had to use things like the scoped magnum or the H&K MP5 when nothing else was available or if I really needed to use a specific gun though (That floating laser-spewing head of doom in... Trajan Markets I think?)
Other than that nothing I remember.

Please explain to me how that's possible??Dyme said:
-Halo 2 had a lot of these challanges for me and my friends. Mostly getting on top of multiplayer levels, and getting the scarab gun in the Metropolis level. That's a hard thing to do but it doesn't take too long.
-Getting through Deus Ex without killing anyone. Basically just a lot of stealth, invisibility and darts.
After the first couple times I played Metal Gear Solid, I always would beat Psycho Mantis without using the controller port or statue exploits. Means you can't use any weapons at all to damage him, just punches and kicks, which only hit about 5% of the time. Takes up to a half hour or more, but it keeps it interesting.
Also, I did a straight character challenge in Final Fantasy Tactics with the Knight class (one of the tougher classes for that). Means you use no other abilities from any other job for any character, only what's available in the Knight job class. The lack of healing or ranged attack options was a real bear, especially at Riovanes.

Play any shooter without reloading manually. Because the fact that I can toss a magazine aside carelessly and somehow save the four bullets that were in it and put it back into my pocket with all the others strikes me as a bit bullshit. Plus it adds to a challenge when I try to gun down somebody and I have only two bullets in the magazine.
Play through pokemon games with pokemon i would'nt think of using in a story based team, and give them nicknames to personalise them: think of it sort of like a Nuzlocke run, but with severely relaxed rules, a team of Ariados, Jynx, Furret, Tentacruel, Victoribel and a Nidoqueen was awesome.
