So, here's the scoop. I have just over two weeks until classes resume for me, and I'm looking for something to pick up and play in that time before I lose myself to the wonders of the lecture hall again. However, I've noticed something of a drought in decent titles as of late (as far as the more publicized games go), so that's where the awesomeness that is you guys comes in.
Here are, more or less, the criteria that might help you think up some suggestions. Please check back in this post every once in a while, as the criteria may change, and the more specific they are, the easier it is to come up with ideas:
- Please stick to the PC as a platform. I don't have a 360 or a PS3, and I highly doubt I'll bother picking either up. I do have a Wii, but, until Team Ninja's Metroid game hits the shelves, I'm not sure there's much there I want
- Try to avoid RTS, turn-based strategy, and sports games. I've had more than my fill of strategy for a while, and I just plain don't like sports games, heh.
- Also try to avoid console ports or something that seems very "console-ish" unless it's really exceptional. Stuff like Prototype, Assassin's Creed, or GTA4, or other somewhat-free-roaming, third-person games come to mind as examples of what I want to avoid. I'm sure they have their merits, but it's just not what I'm looking for.
- Age is not a factor. My PC can handle anything brand new well enough, and I don't, at all, mind games that are showing their age. As long as they work well enough with XP (without too much finagling in DOS Box, if your recommendations are that old), that's fine.
I appreciate any and all suggestions.
