Can anyone recommend me some PC games with a dark theme? Or just a strong, memorable atmosphere?

Played Hitman, played Deus Ex, need something similar...

Hmm.. Well have you ever heard of a game called SPlinter Cell?

LOL! jk.

Devil May Cry 3 is dark, and awesome, but a lot different than those two you mentioned. First thing that popped into my mind though.

Project Snowblind is very similar to Deus Ex, and made by the same people, correct me if I'm wrong. That game got pretty good reviews, yet still managed to be swept under the rug. Definitely worth a try, you can get it for cheap now.

Thief 3: Deadly Shadows
Robbing The Cradle level - Nuff Said

IMO, There is no level with a better atmosphere than Robbing The Cradle in this game.

Half-Life

For freaks sake that game scared the shizzle out of me because of the atmosphere alone. Maybe it's just me?

Stalker.

Dark game? Uh...Manhunt.

How about F.E.A.R.?

It has a dark atmosphere.

I disliked the atmosphere of F.E.A.R. too much. I wasn't even able to finish the game on my own. It was almost unplayable to me.

Second.

You won't find a game with more "Atmosphere" than S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

I would have recommend The Darkness but its only for consoles. One of my favorite games for 2007.

STALKER and Bioshock, I cant remember any games as atmospheric and dark as them. I still play STALKER.

Now, I will warn you with STALKER, it could take some time before it grabs a hold of you, many people have a problem with it at first (I personally didnt), also remember this game was made for PC gamers, so dont get frustrated with it. Kind of random but I still cant believe it made it out, I followed that game for what seemed like decades before it saw the light of day.

Stalker has been mentioned. Bioshock has been mentioned. Thief 3 has been mentioned. Try System Shock 2. Try the two earlier Thief games. Try Half Life 2 (Ravenholm anyone?).

Quillan has it right in one.

System Shock 2 is probably the most memorable game I've ever played.

Its really a incredible game for how old it is (I tried playing Dues Ex and saw alot of similarities).

Edit for Grammar.

I dont know if this game is so great but I enjoyed it on my console its on PC too. What about DOOM 3.

TimeShift was cool on the PC. It came out like a year after 360 so i don't know what might be different between the two versions. There were some nice environments and i enjoyed playing it even though the story was kinda weak.

The Silent Hill series...???? I played number 4 and found that to be very dark. I still can get shivers about the creepiness of that game

I disliked the demo for Timeshift a lot

Ahh thanks for the replies kind sirs and ladysirs.
Should've mentioned I've played/completed FEAR and Thief 2+3 (Cradle was insane!). The atmosphere that Thief 3 tries to achieve is what I'm going for, but I feel it kind of fell short. Stalker looks interesting, I'll give it a shot.

I'd say Silent Hill if you're patient, or Doom 3 if you are looking for some action.

Diablo 1&2

Hellgate London

Overlord (not really, but it tries...kind of not really).
