    Alright...my Christmas break has been deviously well-planned. I have...ahem...aquired...many games, but what do I play first and foremost?
    :hmm:
    Alice?
    Myth 2?
    Stronghold?
    Clive Barker's Undying?
    Final Fantasy 7?
    Sim Themepark :lol: ?
    Stick with Baldur's Gate and Arcanum?
    Warning: This may be a list of very crappy games. Beware!

    Go for Undying. No reason, except that it's scary. ;)

    Nah, I say Final Fantasy 7, absolutely fantastic game, but it just might be a little cartoony for your liking.
    Great story, if you're a fan of any other Final Fantasy then you'll love this, this is the game for the die-hard hardcore fans.
    At least play through the first disc, then if ya don't like it move on to Tal's suggestion.

    Tough descision, but I would go for Arcanum cuz I haven't played it before and it looked sort of neat. But if you want to play a game that will keep you entertained over the entire Christmas break AND a game that you can actually have time to beat (eyes FF7 and smirks) I would go for Alice, personally. I enjoyed it, the story is layered quite thin but there are many graphical layers that beef up the sandwich. It's good in my own opinion. (it's a 'play through it once' game then toss it on the shelf, but shows accomplishment)

    If you like RTS, then play with Myth2 and Stornghold. Two very good games. Or stick with Arcanum! :)

    I suggest you play Stronghold first. If you play like I did you will have finished the campain in about 3 days. After that put it in any corner of your room and play Sim Themepark and one of the other games until end on january. But in any case stick to Baldur's Gate! By the way, you are lucky you got so many games. I got about 5 books for Chrismas!

    I have a very limited family so I don't get much, only Baldur's Gate 2 and ToB, poor me. Yeah, right!

    [​IMG] Undying is the scariest game I have ever seen...

    Stronghold is awesome...

    Final Fantasy is...a Final Fantasy game...

    Arcanum has been conquered 15 times...

    Baldur's Gate is dusty on the shelf, but being dribbled on with drool over NWN... (metaphorical, maybe?)

    ...ahh....gaaaaaaames....
