Default OT: Rate these games ;)

Been doing some other games now for some variety and wondering what others think.

Addicted to : Wizardry 8 (nearly finished, but considered starting again with new party to do things different)

Just bought: Might and Magic IX, and Starfleet Command ($9 bargin bin), havn't delved much into either yet.

Wondering about: Dungeon Seige, Civ III and Freedom Force.

Anyone....(Figure Atrocities will have an answer for the Starfleet Command series.... )

Wizardry 8 : very good game
Might and Magic IX : dunno :[
Starfleet Command : Sucks big time
Civ 3 : Sucks big time
Freedom Force : really good if you like comics

i suggest Grandia 2 and Heroes of Might and Magic 4

Dungeon Siege: I dont like this game its less RPG then even Diablo 1! But if you are a Fan of Diablo 1 and 2 then perhaps its a nice game for you but nothing more (Diablo 2 is much bether in my eyes)

Civ III: I dont like it! The best CIV in my option is Call to Power I but Call to Power II isnt bad to but even CIV II (perhaps even CIV I) is bether then CIV III.

Civ III has it's moments, but it is a bit too labor intensive.

Freedom Force is excellent (if you like comic style stuff) and reminds me of the Diablo/Baulder's Gate style engine. You can make your own heroes, though it is a bit of a pain to make a fun hero that is a low enough point cost to recruit onto your team. The story line is cool and the community is almost as ravid as the SE community (there are hundreds of skins for heroes and already people are working on mods). I do wish there was a 'danger room' where you could test your heroes - would be a nice addition. However, in the user forum someone managed to edit the multiplayer game to add bad guys on command to fight, so I imagine we are not to far from seeing a danger room mod.

I was wondering about Jedi Knight II, anyone?
