In Search Of Game

Unsure if I really wanted to play a game so similar to Neverwinter Nights, I returned "Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic" and picked up "Elder Scrolls: Oblivion".

Cool game. VERY in depth and a huge world. Not alot of characters that draw you in, though. At least not during the first three hours. And given the slower pace of the game, I knew that combo wouldn't work well for me right now. So I took that back and pickled up "Mass Effect".

Another game from BioWare (creators of Neverwinter Nights) but using a very different system. Although the game lets you pause to set up your shots and make decisions, and despite a very interesting story, cool characters and awesome graphics, this action-rpg felt heavy on the "action" during combat and light on the "rpg".

My hand-eye coordination SSSSSUCKS! So I lean toward turn-based RPGs or action-rpgs that are a little more hack-'n-slash, allowing me to build levels and compensate for my pathetic lack of skills.

So today I'm taking my lunch "to go" and returning Mass Effect so I can get "Lost Odyssey". This game hasn't gotten universally great reviews, but after some research, I'm pretty sure I can get through the brief negative points that occur in the game, and will enjoy the classic turn-based glory of this Japanese RPG.

If not, looks like I'll be nabbing back that Star Wars game and waiting for the next few 360 RPGs to come out!
