Well, looks like I’m on a bit of a roll. No-one guessed yesterday’s Remember This, so we’re gonna need a second clue.
For reference, here’s yesterday’s effort…
Good luck.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. ?
Half Life 2?
That was my first though with this second image.
Biker Mice from Mars
Is this the new, “The Dig” guess?
I followed Shanes lead about 3 years ago. He stopped “Diggin it” a few months later. As a matter of fact he hasnt “Digged” it in more than a year. His spirit lives on. But that being said i cant continue forever and someone else will need to carry on the tradition.
I stand ready to guess “Ufouria” for everything.
fallout 3
Silent Hill 4?
GTA V
Saints Row IV
Portal 2
Is it Gun? Made by Activision and Neversoft for PS2, XBox, GameCube & PC back in 2005. Great game too!
Gun was awesome! Now I want to play it again.
LA Noir
Metro 2033
If it’s not that then I will suggest Red Dead Redemption/Red Dead Un-Dead Nightmare
Portal 2
It’s a poster on a wall…… >.
Edit: Let’s try counterstrike!
tekwar
Deus Ex invisible war
OK last guess Kingpin PC
Dying Light?
Maybe it’s a sign on the floor… Micromachines?
I’m liking these texture based images, they up the challenge level considerably. As for today’s, umm, Metal Gear Solid 4?
realMyst? realMyst: Masterpiece Edition?
Hmm… Uncharted 3?
Looks too high res but…. Postal 2?
Bioshock?
Alright, let’s try some wildly inaccurate detective work.
*It’s something with an excessive amount of really obvious photosourced textures.
*It’s pretty high res, so probably a PC game.
*The top image looks like it has a normal map (though it’s hard to tell for sure with the crappy compression), which probably makes it after Doom 3 – 2004.
*The normal map (assuming it exists) is generated from the texture and isn’t particularly well handled. Let’s jump to the conclusion that that means is came out before Crazy Bump – 2006.
*The first shot is a really familiar looking texture. It might be because it pops up in whatever game it is really obviously (like the id logo in Quake 3, but not) but I’m beginning to wonder whether it was a texture that shipped in a really popular texture library, like the default 3d Studio Max one. That suggests it might have been developed by someone who didn’t really care. Maybe a crappy licensed property.
With that in mind, this game is clearly 50 Cent – Blood in the Sand.
Damn I hope this is right!
Max Payne
Mafia
God I loved that game. And I feel it was seriously underappreciated in it’s time.
Sure, it eventually got a sequel which was OK I guess. But for it’s day, Mafia was revolutionary in many ways! Even in the driving component, it did a lot of things first. Real time damage system, a real fuel system [shoot out the tank and run out of fuel :p], police which would chase you for speeding [and fine you if they caught you!], manual transmissions….. The world was also absolutely HUGE! Large 1920’s NYC, with an external countryside area as well.
This game did what GTA:SA did, but 2 years prior, and had a much improved storyline and atmosphere. It just didn’t have the crazy which comes with GTA, which is fine. But I thoroughly enjoyed Mafia so much more.
Anyway, umm, yeah. Mafia is awesome 🙂
And that music!! cruising around the city with that 1920’s tunes was satisfying as hell.
Although that race car mission I’ll happily avoid 🙁
Timesplitters
I’ve getting quite a Riven vibe from these pictures.
FEAR?
mad riders
carmegeddon
it’s so familiar yet I can’t put my finger on it, so… Demon Souls!
Perhaps FarCry 2?
Postal 2?
Day Z
Army of Two
Postal 1/2
Halo 2
Halo 3
Half Life 2?
IT LOOKS SO DAMN FAMILIAR!!!
Call of Juarez?
I’m getting a No One Lives Forever 2 kind of vibe.
The edge of the sign reminds me of the first level in the Japanese village, whilst the wall texture seems like the Middle Eastern level.
mummy: tomb of the pharoah?
Dead Island maybe.
Red dead redemption
THPS3 or 4
RAGE?
Abes exodus or a duke
Constructor
Duke Nukem Forever??
