6. is this silver? I played a demo of it and really liked it because instead of what i assumed happened in rpgs (final fantasy / pokemon style boring combat) you actually controlled the fighting yourself with various mouse gestures performing various moves. It would be nice to play the full thing some time. Also, on a side note, are all rpgs pokemon type battle mechanics? or are there ones that are more interesting than that? :) (and no, thankfully i haven't played final fantasy, though i did watch someone play a bit of ff7 when i was young).
7. dunno
8. dunno
9. ultima ascension - I played a demo of this and thought it was really cool. Sadly it was a bit buggy and kept crashing though. I heard people didn't like it though? Mind you I haven't played other rpg games really so maybe that's why - I guess i like the depth of rpg but turn based grind combat of them really bores me and feels like you have no control, which is why something like this, deus ex or whatever is a lot more interesting.
10. dunno
11. diablo? -not played
12. baldur's gate? - not played
13. dunno
14. fallout - not played but it looks interesting, I shall have to get it oneday :)

16. oblivion - not played, only can tell from hud - any good? I hear people complain about difficulty scaling
17. planescape torment - not played, heard it's good. Does it have annoying grind battles though?

If anyone could give me a rundown on rpg mechanics (i never really tried them) then that would be cool :)

Only going to poke at a few that haven't been correctly identified yet.
RPG
1 - Darkstone, (one of) the first true 3D engine Diablo clone(s). Didn't utilize the 3D for anything but graphics and viewpoint though.
3 - M&M 7, M&M 6 had slightly worse graphics and M&M 8 had a dark gray UI. The Betrayal... games had a different UI (though it did look a bit like that).
Strategy
4 - Master of Orion 3, it's hard to mistake that interface for anything else.

Third Person:
1: The Punisher
2: Feel like I should know it, but I don't. Looks like a Max Payne move, but I don't remember wearing prison outfits in either game.
3: Simpsons Hit & Run
4: Never played it, so taking a guess here: Just Cause?
5: Enter the Matrix
6: MDK
7: Oni
8: No idea. Die by the Sword maybe?
9: Urban Chaos?
10: Freedom Fighters?
11: Ain't got the foggiest.
12: The Thing
13: Dunno what that is.
14: Beyond Good & Evil
15: Armed & Dangerous
16: Nope, not ringing any bells here.
17: Total Overdose
Oh, and no-one got No. 19 in the Strategy quiz right, although Renzatic got close: Myth 2: Soulblighter

11 Die by the Sword

MALF KNOWS HIS SHIT! :D Bravo, you got every answer except for #2 & #8 right. I'm glad to see someone recognize #9, that one is truly an underrated gem. Winged got #8 & #11 right.
Third person games that noones answered correctly yet:
2
13(hint: this one might fit in the stealth quiz as well)
16
dethtoll & Morte both got their Stealth answers right, except for #8.
Stealth games that noones answered correctly yet: 1, 2, 8, 10, 11
june gloom on 10/10/2008 at 20:24
Syphon Filter was my 2nd guess, actually! Man I only had the first one but it was really good- esp. the music.
So who else wears a goofy outfit like that?

Stealth #11 is possibly one of the worst games ever made, Vampire Rain.
I tried the 360 demo, and it was all but unplayable.
