I’ve been meaning to try the demo but….WoW, flying mount, blah blah…..

Between your urging and the fact that a certain PC Gaming mag which I subscribe to has the demo on their disc this month….I figured it’d be awfully lazy of me not to try this game.

Installed it @ 1 a.m. last night, went to bed @ 4 a.m.

Thus far, its insomniac approved. but where will I find time for LOTRO? (tic toc)

Brilliant. They’ve substituted the Elves with big tits with big titted pirates!

Or you could try the new MMO “Sword of the New World: Grenado Espada” (metacritic user score 7.9/MMORPG.com score 8.1)which transposes the Korean, Lineage game design aesthetic (i.e. women in bondage gear and androgynous men)to 18th century America.

Knights of the Old Republic is an excellent example of a game that uses the Dungeons and Dragons system in a non-fantasy setting.

Sounds like someone needs to take a break from World of Warcraft. Maybe you could try EVE Online for free and “Rule th3 Universe”…

Looks like Fallout 3 will fit that bill rather nicely. Or Bioshock (which of course is a FPS with some RPG elements), which is set in a really different, dystopian, Ayn Rand-ian world.

I’m sure this game is fine and well-produced but at what point did all adventure games have to be set in a “Tolkien world?” When are we going to have a great industrial setting? Perhaps a post-apocalyptic setting. I know that examples of these exist but it seems there’s a disproportionate amount of elf/wizard/mage/paladin style adventure games.
