What game (or games for those with more money to blow than me) have you picked up lately?

I bought a used copy of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 2 last week. I haven't had a whole lot of time to dedicate to it, but it seems interesting enough so far. In addition to the first question, I am wondering what are people's thoughts on this game (or even series) because this purchase is my introduction to the franchise.

I got arc the lad for the ps2 not too long ago but i havent had time to play because the internet absorbs so much of my time. but the little i did play of it is really good.

BG: DA2 from the little I played of it pales in comparision to the pc version. but if i could find a cheap copy of it'd buy because i thought it was still good.

How is Morrowind? I have heard a lot about it, but I haven't had the chance to check it out. It is considered a RPG, correct?

morrowind is an RPG which is played from the 1st person. you can switch to 3rd person, but this makes the game more cumbersome, as a lot of things you do in the game are easier from the 1st person POV (such as aiming your weapon and lockpicking or stealing)

it is a HUGE game with just a smorgasboard of content. you can choose from several different races and classes (thief, mage, warrior, and all kinds of combinations of their characteristics) and the game is not linear at all. it is completely open ended, such that i heard that if you are EXTREMELY lucky, you can get to the end while still being level one (you aren't required to pass through set stages and boss battles). the story is very deep, there are a huge myriad of characters to interact with, you can join guilds, you can make friends and enemies, it is just a massive game and its also highly addicting.

there are lots of towns to explore, and huge areas of countryside to get lost in. you can travel from town to town via siltstriders (beasts which carry you) or you can just walk it, but walking is more dangerous... but its also a good way to hone your fighting skills as you'll probably encounter wild animals or bandits.

graphics are great, needless to say... even moreso on the PC version. if you're into the fantasy role playing thing, and are willing to set aside a good chunk of your waking life for this game, you'll like it i think.

Fifa 2005 for the PS2 and Rome: Total War for the PC... neither of which I can play at the moment, as my PS2 is at the bottom of the pond, and R:TW refuses to install properly

Only once or twice, I will do more, and try and get a good score.

Oh really?! My best kick is 28 (whatever the unit of measure is) too. That must be close to the maximum you can get i think.

I got a fine of over 70'000 but only had 40 odd thousand on me. I got kicked out of town and they took it all. I went back and played the last 2 hours again, really couldnt afford to be flat broke.
