Try Diablo II or Dungeon Siege to get you started on RPG's.

U cannot talk about role playing game and not talk about Diablo? Surely, you must've nown that it is an Epic RPG?

I consider Splinter cell as a first/third person (tactical) shooter. But basically, any game involving a bit of a story, adventure and narrative is an rpg. So, in some way or other, most of the games have rpg elements.
Here's a wiki on rpg: *en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-playing_game

Well to get u started with a combat type of RPG, u can go for DIABLO series....the first of the game in the Diablo series was DIABLO,then came DIABLO-II and then DIABLO-II Lord of Destruction(L.O.D)

If u r new to this game then let me assure u that u will love playing this game as this game really rocked the playing arena in the world in the mid 90's and its still the most sort after games for RPG.....

Rumours r that BLIZZARD Entrtainment (the developers of the DIABLO series,WARCRAFT series and STARCRAFT series) are planning to get out DIABLO-III but as of now only the patches of the DIABLO-II L.O.D,the latest patch for DIABLO-II L.O.D is 1.11 :) Much more abt this game any many others can be found at www.blizzard.com

cheers n e-peace.....

Dungeon Seige is really Good...try that....

Dungeon Siege is now a must buy for all RPG fans. The original game now retails for just Rs. 200. If you haven't played it before you must get it now. It's not too old either. I found the graphics much better than even GTA San Andreas.

RPG is one of the best time pass games around.
there are several types of Rpgs, and some have affinity to some types. I like all RPGs and particularlly dont like first person shooter because behind all the graphic mumbo jumbo its just one dumb guy runnin around with a gun sans the story

Dont hesitate ...go for Diablo 2: LOD and you will really enjoy it. Since its one of the most direct RPGs(Action-hack & slash) and doesn't have big learning curve like other RPGs.

everone has his own opinion towards different games

and i tell you that i dont like gothic series

it turn repetitive after some hours of game play
