Looking for some games for PC and maybe PS2

[CKN]

Ok well since all my exams are over I have decided to reward myself with buying a couple video games for my PC and possibly PS2(possible PS2 because there is already a list of games I am waiting to get for it later in the year) anyways so mainly i am lookng for PC games.

So I am looking for either RPG or Action/Advernture.

- I like good replayability and storylines

- I enjoy turn based RPG's(eg. Final Fantasy Tactics for PS1)

- I like realism in most action games(rather kill a human then robot or alien)

- Stealth is also cool

- I like being able to customize my character in RPG's(class, race, look etc.)

- Also in RPG's I like it to be able to equip armor and then see that armor on me.

If I can think of anything else I like for these genres I will post them.

Thanks for all the help.

Have you played Grand Theft Auto III or Vice City. If not, I recommend those. I would also recommend True Crime, but it's more satirical and is basically a parody of action flicks.

Syphon Filter is pretty cool. Since you said you liked Stealth, I'd check that out.

Splinter Cell = best stealth game ever, been out for PC for a while and Pandora Tomorrow just came out for PS2

Then Buy Disgaea, La Pucelle and soon (i think it is suposed to have an US release in August) Phantome Brave. Thes games are by the same teamthat developed FFT (ps1 version) before it got turned into a Final Fantasy Game. If you want to get soem classics from this gnere (again, same developing team) got for Tactics Ogre and Ogre Battle on PS1, they basicly were what was before FFT.

I heard that FFT for GBA is pritty decent to, havent realy played it yet.

Have you tried Arcanum? If Í remember correctly, it meets all your requirements, but it might be a little bit old.

If you're American, get Xenosaga.

If you're in Europe, follow Matzat's lead and get Disgaea (/La Puecelle whenever it's released). And start thinking up ways to torch Namco executives for refusing to release Xensaga in Europe.

Ok here is a list of games I have been checking out now

- Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain(I have 1,2 and 3 already so this would be the next step)

- Splinter Cell and Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow(Stealth in the demo I played was awesome)

- Disgaea and La Pucelle(these are both out here in Canada so I will check them out)

- Arcanum(Looks interesting)

- Xenosaga(Have been looking at this one for awhile and now it is $30)

- The Elders Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY Set(has Morrowind and the 2 expansions and there are many mods to download, lots of playing time)

- NeverWinter Nights(lots of playing time and good creation of characters)

- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic(good replayability apparently)

So if you can suggest any other games that would be great or suggest out of these games which ones I should get.

I also was just checking out Theif 3 and was wondering if I would be able to understand the storyline in it without playing Theif 1 and 2?

[MalaCloudy Black]

Get Xenosaga. I fucking love that game, and I anxiously await the arrival of the 2nd game.

[CKN]

Ok I have trimmed the list down a bit

- Splinter Cell

- Disgaea or La Pucelle Tactics

- Xenosaga

- The Elders Scrolls III: Morrowind GOTY Set(comes with both expansions)

- Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

- Far Cry

- Painkiller

- Thief: Deadly Shadows

- Rainbow Six 3: Raven Shield with expansion Athenas Sword

Continue voicing your opinion on this list

Thanks in advance
