Now, if i have to name just ONE good sci-fi game, it would be the Metroid Prime Trilogy... and if i had to name just ONE good "fantasy" game, it would be the Legend of Zelda... not that the story-telling is perfect, no way... but i've found there that "sense of wonder" and that immersion i also like in my favourite books and movies...

Nice cop-out there, going for immersion by setting and exploration rather than narrative :) You should try things like Planescape:Torment or System Shock.

BTW: as a SF geek myself, I resent seeing Metroid Prime being presented as belonging to the genre by someone naming Dick, Brin and Banks. It's clearly a fantasy setting, down to the elemental-themed areas and weapons, under a SF-esque paint job :)

 

True, true... :)

And of course, i haven't tried all the sci-fi games ever created, especially on the PC scene, so the possibility to miss some real gems is quite high... but i hope you get what i was tryin' to say anyway...  :)
