 | The Witcher Enhanced Edition (PC)
Buy new: £29.99 / Used from: £34.48 The Witcher: Enhanced Edition, which had $1-million spent on fixing the flaws in the first retail release. It's now a wonder.
|
 | The Witcher: Prima Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) by Prima Games
The Prima Strategy Guide for The Witcher. You get this, with all screenshots stripped, in the Enh. Edition. Beware the plot-spoiler in the first paragraph!
|
 | The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (PC DVD)
Buy new: £17.56 / Used from: £5.50 Oblivion, the sequel to Morrowind. Not perfect (dodgy accents on NPC voiceovers, poor NPC animation, poorly-done NPC conversations) but there's a lot to enjoy. Especially: go-anywhere, do-anything.
|
 | Oblivion: Knights Of The Nine (PC DVD)
Buy new: £19.99 / Used from: £8.69 Official add-on content pack for Oblivion
|
 | Oblivion: Shivering Isles (PC DVD)
Buy new: £5.91 / Used from: £2.98 Official extension pack for Oblivion
|
 | Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Game of the Year Official Strategy Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) by Prima Games
Buy new: £12.74 / Used from: £74.38 Prima strategy guide for Oblivion + addon content
|
 | Fallout 3 (PC)
Buy new: £16.99 / Used from: £9.49 Fallout 3, Bethesda's gloomy follow-on from Oblivion. The slow grim mood is not for everyone - I got bored and never finished it. But I recognise millions adore it.
|
 | Fallout 3: The Official Strategy Guide by Future Press
Buy new: £10.98 / Used from: £9.50 The Prima strategy guide for Fallout 3
|
 | Mass Effect (PC DVD)
Buy new: £17.05 / Used from: £7.84 Mass Effect. Short, but very sweet, especially the intuitive conversation system. The PC version is significantly overhauled compared to the previous console version.
|
 | Mass Effect: The Official Strategy Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) by Prima Development
Buy new: £9.06 / Used from: £4.99 The Prima strategy guide for Mass Effect
|
 | Morrowind Elder Scrolls 3: Game of the Year Edition (PC)
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £1.99 Possibly the best RPG, but it's down here because it's an older game that can only be made "like new" with 5 hours of applying fan mods + patches. There's also a fine total-conversion called Arktwend
|
| The Morrowind Prophecies by Peter Olafson
The rare Prima Strategy Guide for Morrowind. Beware the massive plot-spoiler on the first page!
|
 | Pirates of the Caribbean (PC)
Buy new: £9.99 / Used from: £1.67 Disney + Bethesda. What could go wrong? A rush release + bugs. Like Morrowind, a 5.yr old game is pushing it for being "recent". But the fan patch Mod "Build 14 Alpha 9.5 Patch 3" fixes most bugs.
|
 | King's Bounty: The Legend (PC DVD)
Buy new: £7.99 / Used from: £5.50 A 2008 game, but beware that this is an old-school _isometric_ RPG. A so-so storyline, and the isometric perspective is not for everyone. But it has lush graphics and is fun.
|
 | Dragon Age: Origins (PC)
Buy new: £16.95 / Used from: £17.99 Due out in November 2009 - excellent reviews!
|
 | Dragon Age: Origins: Official Game Guide: Prima's Official Game Guide (Prima Official Game Guides) by Michael Searle
Buy new: £11.84 / Used from: £9.07 |
 | Risen (PC DVD)
Buy new: £22.34 Due out in October 2009 - a well-reviewed game from Germany
|
 | Drakensang (PC DVD)
Buy used from: £19.50 Another fine, but apparently minor, RPG effort from Germany.

Listmania!
