Next Game? Suffering from ads?

What should I get guys?

I liked Half Life 2, Doom 3 for their beauty (graphics). I haven't yet tried Brothers in Arms but I have it. I also tried FarCry but I didn't like to so much.

But my all time favourite games remains Baldur's Gate, X-Com series. I just bought WoW but what else should I be looking forward getting?

I'm waiting for San Andreas to come out to PC (should be any day now), but come on people, let's hear it. Any good RPGs coming out for example?

Hmm, your favourites are an RPG and a turn based game.

Several possibilities arise but I'll plump for KotOR/KotOR2 as a good recent RPG, and waiting for Civ4 for a turn based game.

Knights of the Old Republic.

It only sold about 3.2 million copies and won a huge bunch of awards so you probably haven't heard of it. Of course, as it is a Star Wars game it didn't get much publicity.

Or you could ask Mr Google. Probably the first 5,000 search results would have saved you

I'm amazed that Supercitizen hasn't entered the fray in City of Heroes yet, but maybe that's just not your thing.

There is a huge bug with reloading and sieges (one that was claimed to be a 'feature'). I'm surprised you haven't heard of it. The talk on the forums was (is?) of nothing else for months.

Kotor was nice, but to be honest I expected more. The game was simply not very challenging. I never died, and there were hardly any tactical decisions needed to win battles. Other skills like hacking and stealth are totally useless. Okay the gfx were nice and sometimes the dialogues were quite entertaining but that's about it.

RTW is awesome, but it needs a lot of updating. It's completely unrealistic (so modded skins and balancing issues are compulsory!), especially with units like druids, gladiators, ninjas etc...
Also, the battles were awfully easy. I could beat 3500 gauls with 600 Romans. I never lost a battle unless it were just a few garrisson units defending, the only difficulty is that the AI spams units like crazy so you have to keep fighting and winning without actually advancing much
