Any single player game out there wich would keep me nights without sleeping?

School's over during the holidays, so i need a single player game wich will blast me up, something wich would stop me sleeping in the nights, a good story rpg or something, maybe some shooters, etc, all i know is that i want it to be long and and very captivating, some eye candy would also be apreciated, i can run everything.

 

I hear people lead double lives playing WoW if thats what youre planning.

 

Witcher, Borderlands, Modern Warfare 2 (albeit only one night, short campaign), Batman Arkham Asylum, to name a few.

 

i can only think of multiplayer games

 

I know that The Legend of Zelda - Spirit Tracks kept me from sleeping. xD
Finally got it working on my EZ Flash Vi with kernel 2.0 RC8.

Other than that i dont know any newish games that could help you out in the holydays.

 

Fallout 3 with all the DLCs, which are included in the "Game of the Year" edition.

Also Bioshock, & Grand Theft Auto IV if you haven't played those.

 

Dragon Age: Origins if you're planning for a long game.

Company of Heroes with it's expansions if you like RTS and would love to finish all the campaigns (all 6 of them)

And what the other guys mentioned =D Batman Arkham Asylum's good too if you like action and Modern Warfare 2 though short, is still epic that you'll want to know everything in a single playthrough.

 

Oblivion is an awesome RPG that'll keep you busy for a while, especially with the expansion packs. And then when you're done with that, there's a bunch of awesome mods out there for it as well.

The Half-Life series will take quite a bit of your time too. The original Half-Life will probably take you several days, and then throw in its expansion packs and sequel, Half-Life 2, and the Half-Life 2 episodic expansions.

Doom 3 is another good one that's pretty long.

 

Any Bioware game

 

single player is not anywhere near as good as picking up a girl to play games with at night

what about splinter cell series, or serious sam, i always enjoyed max payne, these are older games, but great stories IMO (serious sam is a good laugh).

the various GTA's are also fun, with the mini games and challenges in them.

 

i completed dragon age twice, completed gta iv today, played oblivion/the witcher (didnt rly enjoy them), RTS games dont rly atract me sry , im about to install fallout 3 to see whats all the fuss about it
the reason im not playing multyplayer games is because i cant stop , so im sticking to single player until im done with college

 

Girl gamer sightings are about as rare as unicorns. I don't even know if I want to date a gamer. I'd rather her pry me away and you know do things that video games here don't allow you do to.

 

what i meant was considerably more dirty minded

 

i bought fallout 3 and every expansion on 360 and it was worth every cent. the new all-in-one is a no-brainer. i scoured every corner and found every item and it was great fun.

i married a girl gamer. i got my wife started on EQ back when we first met and we both played WoW for over 2 years together.

 

Torchlight. A perfect and improved Diablo 2 clone (single player only) have endless dungeon for you to explore after the main quest.

 

You mean nag and complain?

 

Mount & Blade + mods
or
if you like some strategy games, definitely try Medieval 2 total war

 

Modern Warfare 2 (Don't forget, you can play and beat the Spec-Op alone) and Borderlands (it's just silly, "Nine Toes...and he has three balls").

 

the last remnant?

 

Borderlands...

 

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Mass Effect 1 & 2, Gothic 1, 2 or 3 (if you can get your hands on them), Diablo??, Fable, And see if you can get yourself Dungeon Keeper 2, its an RTS but its tonnes of fun!

 

singleplayer doesn't last a night.

 

A few people mentioned it already, but Borderlands is a good bet. Don't expect Dragon Age kinda graphics. It's got its own unique graphics if you know what I mean.

Left 4 Dead 2 can be done single play but it's not just the same than with a couple of buddies.

Freelancer can also take its fair share of time and after completing the game you can explore and go crazy. Try and get the expansion pack for it and the difficulty levels will be more realistic and much tougher!

 

If you have a rig that can handle it then I recommend GTA IV. I also recommend the Police Pursuit Mods and there are other mods that add many random and different missions to the game. Due to the mods, the replayability is really good. It can be a lot of fun just playing as the LCPD doing arrests, police shootouts and chases or simply doing Taxi missions or random drug dealing that occasionally goes wrong. Check the thread in my sig for some good ones.

 

Mass Effect
FarCry1 & 2
Kotor
Fable
GTA (Any of them)
Psychonauts
Burnout Paradise
STALKER (this will keep you up with the chills too)
Borderlands
Garrys Mod (hours of enjoyment)
Resident Evil's
Need For Speeds
Half Life's (all of them)
Bioshock
Assasins Creed
Prototype
TheGodfather
Fallout 3

 

I said Spec-Op can be played alone and is quite fun and can take quite a while to complete.

 

sorry, thought spec-ops was mainly multiplayer.

 

sure you can play spec ops alone, but thats like playing left 4 dead singleplayer with the bots

 

Civilization IV has that "one more round" element to it that will definitely keep you up all night...

 

any total war game
burnout is fun if you wanna unlock everything, but it lacks variaction, I got bored of doing same events.
Also call of duty games singleplayer is a good rent!
But id still recommend playing multi on mw2, even if u cant stop u GOTTA try it!

 

Oblivion. You will become obsessed with it and want to live and breathe the world 24/7. If you're playing it for the first time it will take you about a day to "get it".

 

I agree with Oblivion. Older game, but still great. I never cared for those types of games, but picked it up because of all the hype and was very satisfied. I put in a good 40 hours or so and never finished the story, but 40 hours for $30 for the GOTY edition is well worth it.

 

Any Total War game gets my vote.

 

RPG - Dragon Age or Mass Effect (Fantasy or Sci-Fi, pick your style)
RTS - Empire Total War
FPS - Borderlands

Any of those should keep you occupied for some time.
