Need to get away from FPS...

OK, almost all game in my collection are FPS, and I really feel like I need a change. I am just not sure what else I would really like.

When it comes to RTS, I have COH, and liked that and will get the expansion some time, but apart from that I did not like Supreme commander, and the last time I played an RTS that I liked before SC was the original C&C.

I loved C&C and am going to get Decades collection, but what other RTS games are there that are fun, not too slow paced, and are not too heavy and involved.

I have never tried things like the Civilization games, and have not played any of the Total War games... They always look to me like there is little going on in them... is this wrong? Are they "exciting"?

I am not looking specifically for an RTS here, possibly a RPG, its just that I am not sure what else I like. Where RPG's are concerned, all I have played is Oblivion.

Have just been so caught up in FPS games that most of the other genres have kind of slipped me by...

So what can you suggest that is fun, not too involved, not too intense, not slow?
 
Would like to try the original KOTOR, but when I can actually find it, it is very expensive for an old game... don't know why they have not released it as a budget game...

As for DOW... I have the original here which I got with COH, but it stutters for some reason on my pc (which ain't slow) and that kind of put me off.
 
Been a while since I tried it (DOW), but was sure it was the most up to date version. Maybe will try it again.

Tried the Beta for WIC, and the game jsut didn't work for me... I hear the single player campaign isn't anything special as well, which is mostly what I would want it for.

Have decided will give the following a try:
Starcraft (never played it)
Earth 2160 (Just got it for under £3 off steam)
Civilization 4
Dungeon Siege
Titan Quest
Medieval Total War
And will have a search for KOTOR
 
Are the medieval games very complicated? Am going to get the first one to try out, but if its going to tax my poor brain I might not like it :)
 
Final list. Just waiting to win some bids:
Civ 4
C&C Decades
Titan quest
earth 2160
starcraft + Brood wars
Medieval

This should keep me really busy for quite some time, provided I like the games.

I see starcraft 2 might be slated for a Q1 release next year, so the first one will probably one of the first I try.

And I have to say, I am really looking forward to getting through the C&C games. I used to love the first one, and have not even touched on all the others in the series.

Guess I have just never had that much time for gaming. At the moment don't have much to keep me busy, so time for some major catching up :)

Medieval? That's Medieval 2: Total War? The first one's a good game but getting long in the tooth now.
Click to expand...

Just the first one. Remember, having not played any of them I have nothing to compare it to. Was just going for the cheaper option in case I don't like it.

Will be easier for me going from 1 to 2 than it would going the other way if I liked it :)
 
Got all the games now :)

Am kind of put off CIV4 cause of the size of the manual. Its flippin HUGE! did not want anything too heavy.

But am very much looking forward to all the C&C games and Starcraft. So much so that I am supposed to be going for drinks after work, but am tempted to blow it off to go do some gaming until the early hours of the morning :)
