new genre's to try?

Basically i'm getting a bit fed up with FPS and driving games, so i've been looking at the RPG and RTS genre's.

I've tried a couple before( rome total war and oblivion) but i wasn't to impressed but that was a couple of years ago.

I just need a bit more convincing and also what would be/are the best ones to get.

cheers.

Fallout 3 (RPG)
Company of Heroes (RTS)

Not RTS or RPG but why not try adventure:

Batman: Arkham Asylum
Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

see how you get along with those two.

If you like a good story I'd say try Dragon Age: Origin (RPG) and maybe some other types of strategy games like Civilization series or Command & Conquer series.

Dragon Age is a bit heavy for first timers, try borderlands for a good RPG/FPS blend. A hack & slash like torchlight should sort you out nicely after that, and as suggested CoH for the RTS genre.

i'm seriously considering dragon age and empire total war, dont really like hack and slash, i'd like something with abit more substance.

Also is batman more than just a beat em up?

Yeah Batman is a beat 'em up but it's a very polished and stylish one with some neat touches. I never really liked any of the Total War games but my bro loves em :rolleyes:
