Does anyone have some recommendations for other dystopian/wasteland games? The ones I know are:

Fallout series
Carmageddon series
Red Faction series
Interstate series
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series
Half-Life series
Redline
Wasteland
Auto Assault
Fallen Earth

Bioshock - Dystopian in the flavor of Ayn Rand, and could be considered a wasteland at the bottom of the ocean. The game is essentially a shooter but allows the player to customize thier character for different types of gameplay. (freeze your oponent then shatter them with a wrench type of stuff)

Borderlands - A straight up shooter that happens to take place in a wasteland. There are attempts to make the game dystopian, but... its "campy" dystopia. The storyline is not well developed, but it almost seems to parallel Fallout in some ways: It takes place in a wasteland, there are lots of raiders and bandits, and you are searching for a Vault. That's pretty much the whole story of the game and the ending will piss you off. There is multiplayer, but limited to 4 players at a time.

Shadowrun (THE ONE FOR SNES OR GENESIS, NOT THE ONE FOR X-BOX) - This is a nice dystopian cyberpunk RPG. The interface is old and kind of clunky, but once you get past that, it can be rather immersive.

I can't think of any others in addition to those you've already mentioned

Woooahhh, this thread is damn old, lol. Borderlands and Bioshock are pretty cool. I'll have to check out Shadowrun and Metro 2033 (when it's out).

Right now I'm trying out Face of Mankind. It's an FPS MMO futuristic dystopia game. It's not too bad. Also, Call of Pripyat (the third S.T.A.L.K.E.R.) is almost out here.
