This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

Deus Ex and Bioshock, yes.

Skyrim, no. Never have played any of the Elder Scrolls games to be honest.

I know alot of people get a kick out of it, just never has interested me too much.

Is it the type of game that I should play the prequel to first, or does it stand alone?

Don't get Dark Souls 1 on PC. The port is so, SO bad.

Bad as in it looks horrible and is optimized terribly, or do you only mean the controls problem?

I got a 360 controller for PC, so the controls aren't a problem for me.

Nah, there's no need to play the prequels. The story is pretty much standalone.
Yes, there are story references and items that are carried over from the events of the previous games. However, Skyrim does a good job of explaining things without holding your hand.
And if you ever are confused or want to know the history/context of something, you can always look it up on uesp.net or some other skyrim wiki.

For example, if you do its relevant quest, you may come into possession of the dagger Keening. The game explains it as a legendary dwarven artifact, and a character plans to use it to figure out what happened to the dwarves. But unless you've played Morrowind or look it up, you won't know the specific details of what it was used for, who made it, etc.

Controls can be fixed with a controller, yeah. The resolution is awful though so I've been told and it's full of bugs/glitches.

I haven't played Skyrim yet (too time consuming). But Morrowind was truly awesome. And I dare to say, that 75% of all Skyrim players haven't played Morrorwind before. However, I pretend that Morrorwind is the all-time-best of the Elder Scrolls series.

Dark Souls is a hardcore game. It can be damn difficult and frustating. And since most today games are annoyingly easy, most people dislike the game for its difficulty. I liked the challenge though.

I loved F.E.A.R, since it was the very first game I played, which effectively made use of shadows, adding tons of excitement and shock effects. Even though it's now 10 years old, its graphics should still be playable. I replayed it two years ago.

Dishonored I haven't played. But I was told, that it's some kind of a mix of Bioshock Infinite and Thief. Stealth games are a rare thing, so I'll probably have to play it one day.

Gone Home I've only heard about, too. Sounds like an indie horror game which is said to be quite short though. I wouldn't buy it.

Alan Wake used to be a console game I think. Another horror game. I prefer horror movies. Not sure about that one.
