Mirrors Edge also reminded me of exploring in that you spend lots of time navigating off-limits areas and running from the authorities.
|
Saw previews for that, looked awesome. Maybe Gamestop got a cheap used copy. Doubt it, they always pay you shit for em then turn around and sell it for 4 times more.

What games have you played that feature some sort of abandonment?
|
None. But, I've shot two scenes from games, one after,
and supplied stuff for rendering for another:
See ya! Neko.

| | | | To the other end of urban exploring...
Mirror's Edge has roofing, subway tunnels, draining, infiltrating buildings, offices, big boats, and the list goes on. Plus you run around on the constant look out for security and cops trying to shoot at you. (Who hasn't been there?) Game is amazingly addictive and worth playing over to find new spots.
In that same vein, Assassin's Creed. In which you run around the roof tops of ancient cities. (Some faring better than others, one is almost in ruins.) You get points for finding the highest parts of the city, and you get rewarded with a nice view. It's fun, it's quick, you also get to kill people a lot, but whatever.
When the Xbox came out one of the release games was Jet Set Radio Future, not much attention was paid to it, it's just a weird Japanese rollerblading game. But the entire game is full of running around the backside of giant colorful Japanese cities. Lots of different levels, lots of roofing and a whole section spent down in the sewers. The game is pretty free-roaming, a lot of your time is spent finding graffiti from other gangs to cover up with your own. Aided by the fact that if you blade fast enough you can magically jump +10 feet in the air, do a front flip, land, and think nothing of it.
Who doesn't want to skate in drains that all look like perfectly smooth half pipes?
The new Prince of Persia, while horribly driven. (It's all the thrill of a video game without actually being one. Kind of like an interactive movie, you press buttons every once in a while.) But it's really pretty, and it's built around amazingly complex structures that are decaying because the world is dying...? Or something. You have to explore them and find... orbs to save the world... Anyway, it's pretty.
And everybody already mentioned Half Life, hehe. I don't really play shooters, so I stick to just the running around and finding shit part, not so much the killing.
You know where this is going... http://flickr.com/photos/spoonifur/ |

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl
The whole game is an abandonment.
|
I played it, but my video card burned out 
Now i got to wait for a blasted replacement, but it was awesome while i played!
I'm currently working on a video game of my own that will feature an abandonment, some drains etc. I'm currently gathering ideas for some plans/layouts of the maps.
The game is Escape.
It's a Valve mod, and is based on a large research facility, abandoned by it's previous owners, then taken up by the Combine for their research. I'm still tying down the plot line, but it's going to be good when i finally release it.

Love Silent Hill. That game (1) is still pretty spooky when you play it alone in the dark. The sequels were lame as hell. Have you read about the town that the game was based off of?

You could almost argue every Tomb Raider game is in an abandonment to some extent.
|
totally. i played every tomb raider as a kid, back when playing the game was as close as i could get to an abandoned building. some of the locations in the games are stunning.

| | | | c'mon... silent hill 2 was pretty awesome. everything was so rusted and dirty. the unrealistic angles that actually (as it seems to me) amplified the experience to be more similar to if you were there... and the prison, continually going down, down, down, landing somewhere else stranger.. the prison was probably my most excited point in the game.. making your own maps? its all about the unknown.

And being able to defy physics by skating up a 90 degree angle!
I didn't realise any one else in english speaking countries actually played this one./
