    Has anyone played RISEN?
    Any Reccomandations?
    How many fps I could expect?
    Thanks in advance!

    I got it Saturday. Only played like 2 hours or so, but seems like a pretty good RPG and has gotten above average to excellent reviews.

    I'm playing on a HP HDX, 8800GTS and T8500 (2.6 Ghz) with 3 megs of ram. Must have auto configure or something, because it started in 1280 x 768, but I switched to native 1680 x 1050 and it runs flawlessly.

    Looking forward to being less busy in the next few days so I can get deeper into it.

    I'm considering getting this as well, after a few more reviews.

    its an awesome game (I'm 20 hours in ^^). ZP you start with a preset character, no creation. However you can learn skills, weapons and magic any way you like it.

    Buy this game, its the best rpg out right now!

    Doesn't seem bad so far. I downloaded the demo. The graphics are gorgeous, except for the characters which look kind of wonky.
