Hi
Some comments :)
Hitman2: Not a bad game, but it is quite short and has little replay value, IMO.
Freelancer: I don´t like it. Too little gameplay depth for my taste. Granted, the graphics are nice. But if you havn´t played it yet, I advise you to buy Freespace2 instead and spend the saved money on other games.
(If you like shooters overs simulations, Freelancer is probably a better choice than FS2)
Morrowind: Excellent game. The freedom you have as a player is amazing, the game world is extremely well designed. Clearly the best single player RGP ever, IMO. Great replay value. After finishing the main quest, you have usualy only seen about 10% of the world. You have lots of different characters to chose from and can design own ones. There are about a dozend different factions in the game you can join, each with their own quests, trainers, etc. Some of them are hidden. Exploring Morrowind´s world is really great fun.
The game has only three drawbacks:
- Relatively high hardware requirements (to fully enjoy the graphics, you need a machine with well over 1 GHz, and a decent graphics card. The game runs OK on slower machines, but you have to reduce the sight range, which reduces the fun, IMO)
- No MP modus (but the sheer size of the game world and the freedom of decision you have makes up for that)
- The "learning by doing" character development system sucks, IMO. Leaves much room for exploits (which you do not have to use, of course) and makes it quite hard to play an "allrounder". The game has some balance issues, but since it is SP only, this is not so much of a problem.
For anyone who likes RPGs, Morrowind is definately worth its money.
One thing that should be mentioned is that it might take relatively long until you have found out how some of the important things work. But IMO, this only adds to the fun :)
C&C Generals: Horrible game, IMO. Needs a high-end machine to run lag-free, many bugs, not much fun to play. I did not really like any of the C&C series after C&C1, but this one is really not worth its money, IMO. If you are looking for a good multiplayer RTS, buy Empire Earth, you should be able to get it for a reduced price by now.
