    Im looking for a new PC game to play. I've tried out Crysis, FEAR 2, didn't like those, not the biggest fan of FPS's. I do enjoy RPG's though, just finsihed beating Portal, it was awesome. Most games older than late last year i've prob played and beaten. Beaten Bioshock, GTA IV, all those fun games.. :rolleyes:

    The Witcher isn't like the Elder Scrolls series at all, so if it's worth a shot if you can get it.

    Dead space....depends if you consider an over-the-shoulder shooter to be a pseudo-fps. Pretty good atmosphere, it is actually decently scary.

    I was just checking out this new game called Demigod.

    Looks fun.

    And this new game "Prototype" looks sick as well, suppose to come out in a few days.

    If you think Demigod looks fun, I recommend you playing Battleforge. It's a great game. I also recommend Assassin's Creed. Also prototype is coming out in June... If you got PS3 get inFAMOUS(Didn't come out yet). Assassin's Creed, Prototype, inFAMOUS is all free roaming games.(Sandbox) Another game is Mount&Blade. You should check it out.
