Developed at the height of Origin's "Interactive Movie" phenomenon, Privateer 2 featured an incredible cast (Clive Owen, John Hurt, Christopher Walken) and, most importantly, incredible gameplay. The game is so open ended and so engrossing that you could complete and quickly tire of 11 or 12 modern games because you got bored of this beauty. V. sad that most developers have now stopped using real actors in games in favour of crappy 3D models.
