    Orange Box, Civilization 4 and Oblivion are all great games in different genres.

    Do you play UT3 online? If so, how's the community?

    I actually really liked the demo, but have fears that nobody plays it.

    Syberia (1+2) are both great. They more resemble The Longest Journey/classic adventure games in presentation----2D backgrounds, no reflex-based combat, no jumping puzzles, etc. The storyline isn't as grandiose as TLJ/Dreamfall, but it's no less compelling.

    Some of the CGI cut scenes from Syberia 1:

    edit---note it contains spoilers/part of the ending.

    I didn't get a chance to buy the game yet, I'm waiting for Dell to send my credit. I played the demo for awhile. I'd say there'll be a really big community. UT is a classic and has a huge fanbase.
