Re: OT: Games worth buying
I've been enjoying doses of Weird Worlds and like the quickness of games when I don't have much time to goof off.

I'm open to (pretty much) any suggestions.  
Thanks for all the suggestions so far everyone, there's definitely a few that I'll be looking into when I have the time again (next weekend). More suggestions are always welcome of course.

Re: OT: Games worth buying
Elder Scrolls: IV has about the same release schedule as SEV. I'm delaying my Christmass presents to get them.
www.elderscrolls.com
And if you can snag it off e-bay, Master of Magic is very dated, but very good.

Re: OT: Games worth buying
Elder Scrolls IV looks like it's going to be a great game. I've never played any of the other games in the series, but the preview videos of Oblivion are beautiful.

Re: OT: Games worth buying
And better yet, it looks like the rest is going to match.

Re: OT: Games worth buying
Just wondering, there is over 5 mil. subscribers for World of Warcraft - isn't anyone going to suggest that?
And no I'm not suggesting it, btw.  |

Re: OT: Games worth buying
There are over 5M subscribers to WoW. And how many of those do you think are total jerks? And how many jerks would it take to ruin the game for the remainder of the 5M people? Exactly.
