    I bought my first game in Canada a few days ago : Battle for Middle Earth special edition (with BfME I, II and the addon), and honestly, it's bad.

    BfME 2 looks like a cheap Total War/Dawn of War Soulstorm. It doesn't even stick to the book or to the movie, the gameplay is crap.

    Then, the addon is supposed to be a scenarized campaign revolving around the Witch King's rise to power. Thing is, the gameplay is still crap, the scenarization sucks and that's about it.

    So, I decided to play Final Fantasy Tactic Advance, but well, though I can see how it was considered a great game, it gets old pretty quickly. Fighting against the same opponents over and over while trying to find cheap way to level-up our characters. Woot, but it lacks something IMO.

    BfME2 is fairly good once you patch it, the bare-bones is pretty buggy. I hated at first, I don't mind it now.

    So Frag should I get the new Silent Hill?

    I'm a huge BFME and LOTR fan (book first, movies second). I found BFME1 great fun as an RTS and its permanently on my HDD - I'd recommend it to people who liked the LOTR movies as I think it captures the spirit of them.

    BFME2 and RotWK were an unsatisfying RTS hodge-podge of the movies and books IMHO. I sold mine due to boredom and lack of LOTR "feel".

    BTW, people mentioning Fable II, I might try Fable 1 on the cheap, but is it true you can't choose your characters gender?

    No; you choose that at the start of the game. You can't choose your gender in Fable 1 though. (Not certian though)

    I am playing a few now. Just got through Mirrior's Edge. Diffrent, certianly.

    Also playing CoD4 MP on 360 and Blazing Angels MP. Just got Guild Wars for an easy $50 yesterday (GoTY edition) and have been playing it since. A very good game. has anyone played the expansions, and if so are they worth getting?
