I'm a .NET developper and during my free time I enjoy playing video games.

Before anything, you should go and take a look at some less known yet wonderful indie games that are available on Steam.

Video games are my hobby and here are the ones that I enjoyed the most through my life :

For the story

• Beyond Good and Evil : Most beautiful and touching game I've ever played.
• Alice Madness Return : A true masterpiece. A perfect story in a perfect universe, plus the gameplay is excellent.
• Bioshock 1,2 and Infinite : We need more Bioshock.
• Half life 3

For the gameplay

• Auditorium : if you ever read this and have never played this game, go find it and play it, perfection exists.
• Trine 1, 2 : If beauty was a fairytail.
• Portal - Portal 2
• Antichamber : if you like to feel your brain melt (seriously go play it)
• Mirror's Edge : Perfect game <3, shame it took so long to get a sequel.
• FEAR, FEAR Perseus mandate, FEAR Extraction Point : Magnificient, you will feel fear
• Star Wars KOTOR : in my opinion, one of the (if not the) best RPG ever created.
• Prince of Persia (the 4th) : Soothing and beautiful

For History

• The Monkey Island series : A classic that never gets old.
• Diablo/Diablo 2 : When Blizzard used to know how to video game.
• Abe's Oddysee : Hello ... Hello ... follow me ... OK !

To satisfy my inner hardcore gamer

• DotA - DotA 2 : (I still own DotA Allstar v1.0 on W3 and I've played more than 4000h of DotA.
• Trackmania : Original, Sunrise, Nation, United, etc. I used to play at a competitive level
• Borderlands 1, 2 : In one sentence - The great Badass Loot-Filled adventure that everyone needs.
• Super Meat Boy
• Diablo 3 : It's like I never have enough of this one

If you have to pick one game from this list gor for Auditorium, Beyond good and evil or Alice Madness Return.
