Genre does not matter. If the game is good/fun I am willing to try it out. I prefer multiplayer/competitive games; however, single players are fine to. No Valve games (TF2....CS...Half-Life..etc) because I have played them all. I really want to play a Hack n Slash in preparation for Diablo 3. -Thanks for reading!  | ||

There are several Hack n Slash games to play, but every of them is just worse than d2 or d1. (mostly they are only bad copies of the diablo series) Sad to disappoint you  | ||

Another choice would be Darkspore. It's based on the Spore character engine, has like 100 different heroes and other nice new features in a sci-fi setting. Not my cup of tea, but alright. Also you could take a look at Deathspank. It's a very humorous hack and slash type of game. If you're into that type of humor this seems like a really fun game. (Haven't tried it out myself) | ||

Others: Nox Torchlight Titan Quest. Sacred 1 & 2 Fallout 3 is sort of ARPG, but it was very buggy for me Those are ones I've played, they're quite ok. Maybe Hellgate: London. Don't know how good it is though. EDIT: Whoa, never played The Witcher. I'll have to pick it up, thanks for the tip. | ||

Torchlight is pretty good if you just want a diablo clone but d2 is still better. I never got into titan quest and its expansion, for some reason it just felt so repetitive and the character customisation (the only good thing about it) wasn't enough to pull me through. I think i finished it but i definitely won't be going back. | ||

The HOMM games already mentioned are excellent for that, as are games like Civ IV. If you want to immerse yourself in the pinnacle of RPG gaming, the Baldur's Gate games are second to none. If you have a creative (or sadistic) streak, Dwarf Fortress is as addicting as can be. I've wasted many an hour at my university playing Nethack instead of studying for exams, you can too! Fillers while waiting for Diablo 3 could be Titan Quest, Dungeon Siege 2 and Torchlight. Autumn and darkness approach, perhaps a scare is in order? Amnesia - The Dark Descent and Call of Cthuli: Dark Corners of the Earth deliver. | ||

How is Titan Quest's multiplayer? Is the community active? Do people still play that game? Seems pretty interesting. Sadly, the demo does not work for me on steam! I really want to try out POE. If somebody would like to help a fella brethren out "hint" (give me a beta key), would be much obliged!!! I have heard good things about the Witcher. Its still going for $50 (Witcher 2). Will have to read reviews on that game before I try it out. is there a demo out for it? | ||

Is it full-blown rpg game? Or, is it more action-oriented. Also, the game seems pretty old....now I am not the kind of guy to judge on graphics, but....gameplay must be really exhilirating if I would consider that one. More info plz!!! Dwarf Fortress? I never heard of that game. Will have to google it good sir. | ||

I never heard of that game. Will have to google it good sir. It's a classical RPG in all it's glory, following the AD&D ruleset. As such, it is not comparable to games like Diablo and should not be approached as such. While the game flows in real time, there are typically so many decisions to make during combat that the pause key is your best friend, especially considering you'll be controlling a party of up to 6 characters. A typical scenario would be that you pause the game to tell your mage to cast a flame arrow to finish off that sword spider whilst your fighter retreats a few steps to accept a cure spell from your cleric. Your other fighter might then have to go after the baddie approaching your frail mage, while your druid/fighter dual class character removes the poison that is rapidly draining said fighter's hp. Things get really interesting once enemy mages are thrown into the mix. The exhiliration comes from getting out of a particularly dicey battle with only a few hitpoints remaining as a result of good planning, decision making and use of magical items. The best aspects of the Baldur's Gate games are the characters and their interactions, the soundtrack and the story. The game is quite open-ended and lets you wander to different areas at your whim, but the story rarely lets you go for very long (although to be fair this is not always the case with the first game) without some reminder of what is going on in the big picture. It's almost a play-to-understand experience, really. There's a thread here on TL about the games, I recommend checking in there for more info. | ||

I also encourage you to try Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption, which is very fun. Other things to try are Bastion, Magicka. The Witcher is fun. Titan Quest is a good time sink, and Torchlight is solid Diablo gameplay. | ||

A lot of people are mentioning true RPGs, which isn't the same thing at all. Of the ones mentioned, I'd say Torchlight and TQ are most comparable hack'n'slash games to it. | ||

Anachronox Arcanum Beyond Good and Evil Planescape: Torment Warhammer: Dark omen There you go, probably close to 200 hours of pure joy. A heavy bias towards rpgs, but I'm either a competitive game, or rpg kinda guy. Dark omen is a minor exception, but one of my favourite games of all time, and something every person on this planet should have played imo. | ||

It can sometimes be kinda frustrating when you come around a corner and an opponent gets a lucky headshot from 100 meters distance and you drop dead without even seeing him, so I started quicksaving every minute or so. Definitely one of the hardest single player games I ever played. I am close to the end now and I think i hid the quickload button well over 300 times | ||

I couldn't get into borderlands alone, so I'll recommend those games, but borderlands only if you're playing with a friend. If you like competitive games, try fighting games? They're pretty fun, MVC3 is fun for casuals (When you don't get bodied, that is) The Survival/Horror genre if you like that can be fun. Amnesia/F.E.A.R/S.T.A.L.K.E.R/Penumbra | ||
