This is of course based on
  • the time I have had to do look around the web (not much, I still need to research some promising games)
  • the available time I have to play (again, not much), and
  • my particular tastes.
When this thread had started I realized what I wanted was a great story, like what you get in a good novel. This is explains why I am not interested in some games like Oblivion which are surely great in some other ways. For example, I still cannot see how to develop an engrossing story within an "open" world. The later is certainly appealing, but I just want to be told a good story.
