I find myself browsing my Amazon.com recommendation and wishlist a lot lately. So, I think I should find a new game to buy. And by new game, I mean old game. So, I come here to find a recommendation from you guys, hoping you'll recommend me something I may have missed or forgotten.
Things I'm considering:
System Shock 2, but $50 for a used copy with just a sleeve sounds a bit steep.
Arcanum, same as System Shock 2
Fallout 2, but I'm wary. I do massively prefer Baldur's Gate II to Fallout I if that helps shed light on my RP preferences. I think it's more a preference for interactions and story than for the mechanics in RPGs.
Katamari Damacy, but maybe it's just too wacky. Could it's popularity be gimmick based? Or is there something solid there.
Speak of your favorite games of past years. Say what you liked about them. I'm not going to bother mentioning more of what I've already played because I want this to be useful to others besides just me.
