RPG - Bladur's Gate 2

RTS - Like em a lot, but I suck at em. WL:BC2

Sports - Toss up between EA's Madden and NCAA football.

It's a FPS, not a true sim, though the publisher may categorize it as a sim.

And Kel's, who happens to be of the same opinion as Gandalf, more or less.

According to gamefaqs.com:

Gothic released 23 Nov 01.
Morrowind released 01 May 02.
Gothic 2 released 13 Jun 03.

Gothic 3 is targetted for Dec 05.

EDIT: in my mind, I had the release dates for Gothic and Morrowind reversed, so I was thinking that Morrowind was nearly 3 years old, when it's only 2-1/4.

Pardon me a minute while I break in with a message from our sponsors. (this seemed a good thread to mention it)

We need beta testers. Ground floor. Chance to get on the unofficial "list" of beta testers.

Quote:
Much input needed on this multiplayer-only game. Please read the ReadMe.txt.
http://www.gilligames.com/beta/downl...reaty_0.65.zip
For more info, visit http://www.brokentreaty.com
I only got a chance to glance at it but (I hope I dont insult the guy here) it reminds me of the old Empire game but with newer graphics. There is no AI yet but you can play yourself twice flipping back and forth, or multiplay Online with other beta-testers. Take a look. If you are interested and feel you can make suggestions that will bring the game forward (not blow the guy off of it) then send me a PM and I will open access to the beta forum.

(And if anyone else is working on a game, talk to me)

Yeah I think so. Sorry about that, I do try not to be WinObnoxious usually.

Its retro looking and fairly young in its development so I dont think it has high requirments. It is up to being playable.
