Weird.   I've got psychonauts on the PS2, an enjoyable game, but I
didn't think it was anywhere near as good as the hype.

On the indy scene I've been doing some more research and

Retro City Rampage

is really looking appealing to me.  I love mini-games, and it looks
quite awesome.  I'm worried at the 8 bit graphics though BoDVII didn't
bother me.  I'm also a bit worried because I tried GTA (the orginal) a
year or so ago and didn't really like it which might be similar.

Of course there's always Legend of Grimrock, but what I've read of it
doesn't sound terribly appealing to me.

I never did finish BG1, of course I was pissed off at the change from
turned based to 'real time with pause' and found travel so annoying I
eventually hacked boots of speed for all my party, and it still wasn't
enough.  I hear there's some good mods to modernize it a bit though.
I know BG2 is supposed to be better than BG1, but couldn't bring
myself to play it never having finished 1.  Sure I loved the party
member banter "Stop Touching Me!" and "Go for the Eyes, Boo!"

NWN wasn't that bad, though I found their implementation of magic
annoying and poor (being a huge PnP D&D player), I recently
reinstalled it, but couldn't find the dungeon I created anywhere on
backups so I was pretty bummed about that.  The original campaign is
the worst of NWN though, any of the additional campaigns are better,
as well there's some good fan made ones, though I only remember one
about mutant chickens.

Also thinking about revisiting some older games, FO2, Bloodlines
(especially as I haven't seen any updates from Werner in a long time),
or some games I missed a long time ago - I never did play any of the
Wizardry franchise.
