So, what are some good recent games?
#1
I'll be visiting the local mall tomorrow (or I guess "today", now...) and since I recently came into a bit of a windfall, I feel I can afford to make one purchase.

Problem is, though, that I haven't been keeping up with new PC releases, so I'll get there and have no idea what's gold and what's goop. So, any suggestions or plain opinions would be welcome.

I'll probably be looking for RPGs, space sims, tactical combat games, etc. Stuff like racing games, sports titles, and most FPSes aren't really up my alley.

Some titles I'm considering:

Divine Divinity (whole lotta buzz on release, but not much since)
Hitman 2 (got the demo, cool game; stealth gameplay is fun...)
Arx Fatalis (haven't played many Ultima Underworldish types, and it seems interesting)
Grand Theft Auto 3 / Vice City (if everyone likes it, it can't be too bad)
Freelancer (would be nice to get some Privateerish action)
Deus Ex (don't really know much about the game, but it seems well-liked)
Morrowind (see Deus Ex)

What's the Civ-like game where you're a medeival king and you have to manage heros, and actually cajole them into doing stuff instead of just ordering them around? That seemed interesting.

Help me out here, I'm sure I'm missing tons of titles... :blink:
