    What's the best game

    Hi all im looking around for an adventure/strategy (PC) game something like oblivion(elder scolls) and i want to know what you think would be the best game for me to go for.

    I like the kind of games where you can explore like wow and guild wars myst etc.

    I have looked around for a few games but can't seem to find the right one to fit my discription.

    any adivice on the game you think will be good.

    Thanks Matt

    Re: What's the best game

    Dark Messiah of Might & Magic isn't bad if you are wanting a 1st person game, make sure you patch it up to latest build though as it is really buggy straight from the box.

    Other than that I would go for The Witcher, excellent story, as are the visuals and sound. You can really get your teeth into it, there are also 2 campaings included in the latest patch which give you a bit more info on events that happened previously.

    Re: What's the best game

    I would agree with the above, The Witcher is a good game.

    I would also recommend Neverwinter Nights 2, if you are into D&D type games.

    Re: What's the best game

    All games in the Grand Theft Auto series are very large and involve loads of exploration and freedom. Not exactly fantasy themed though.

    Re: What's the best game

    Get "Vanguard Saga of Heroes". It's an online MMORPG. It had a really rough start when it was released, but they invited us ex-Beta testers back for a free month to see how it's improved in the last 18 months. The difference is amazing..

    I absolutely love it. It's like Oblivion times 1000.

    Is the latest GTA as good as everyone says Virtual Monkey? I'm considering buying it, although that would be my summer totally booked up if I get it!

    Re: What's the best game

    the witcher and neverwinter nights are both very good suggestions. if you haven't already played it then the baldur's gate trilogy are awesome, some of the best games i've ever played! also knights of the republic 1 and 2 are pretty good, esp if you're into star wars

    Re: What's the best game

    the witcher is good, i have it and love it. Shame my game saves deleted themselves(not cos of the witcher but my flash drive ate them >.<) so i have no desire to start from scratch as i was fighting the last boss or somewhere close .

    It is a great game but i recommend b acking up your game saves when you can just incase .

    I haven't played 4, although I'm making my way through San Andreas and enjoying it. I have friends who have played through 4, and from reviews alone it seems to be one of the best games released in recent months (Although Stewart would disagree massively )

    There are plenty of other great recommendations here - I think most computer RPGs offer the kind of exploration you're after. Are you after a game that's specifically set in a fantasy environment?

    You also mentioned mist - have you tried any more traditional point and click games? Beneath a Steel Sky is free and also very good. Not exactly exploration based but it's very story driven and has a very novel-like feel to it

    Re: What's the best game

    I've just recently purchased Lord Of The Rings Online and loving it. Really fun and easy to get into, &#163;25 for 3 months is pretty good for the sub also.

    Havn't actually spoke to anyone ingame as of yet as I have just finished the intro bit. From what I have heard though the community spirit is really good.

    It is very good. One thing that I feel about that one was in as much as it was a leap forward in the series it was a bit of a step back.
    I mean this in the way GTA:SA was huge and varied. You could leave the city and ride through forests or through the desert. You had outside towns with old gas stations, abandoned airstrips, loads. GTA 4 is just a huge city. Apart from that GTA 4 is better in every way.

    Agreed - classic game. The second one isn't too bad either.
