What PC Game Should I Buy From Steam?

I'm looking for a new game to purchase. I currently have the following games:

• BF:BC2
• Crysis & Crysis Warhead
• Resident Evil 5
• Mirror's Edge
• Grand Theft Auto IV
• Far Cry 2
• Batman: Arkham Asylum

As you can see, I like action oriented games. However, I'd like to try something different. I've been thinking of trying out an RPG game, like Mass Effect. However, based on videos I've seen and the demo I've played, it seems like just another action game, but with RPG elements. I'd like to try something with a moving and emotionally charged story and memorable gameplay. I would also prefer if it to have quality graphics. What do you guys have in mind?

EDIT:

Hey everyone, I decided to purchase Mass Effect. I'm downloading it right now from Steam. I know I said that it seems like just another action game, but after considering the other RPGs you guys recommended, I came to realize that mainstream RPGs would be too drastic of a change for me to take on so soon. Mass Effect seems like the type of game that would facilitate thegradualtransition from standard action games to RPGs. It's different from the type of games I normally play, but not too different. Perhaps when I'm done with it, I'll try out the other RPGs you guys mentioned. Thanks.

Uhh...The Witcher?kris9031998

It came out in 2007. Too old for my taste.

crysis also came out in 2007....

the Witcher EE is pretty good you should try it out the graphics are still nice and a good game overall

crysis also came out in 2007....zahyr

Crysis is exceptional. I think we'd all agree that it is the definitive PC game when it comes to graphics.

I personally reccomend Dragon Age Origins, I hear a lot of good stuff about the Witcher though. There are also loads of great RTS games that offer a change of pace that you migh be looking for.b-u-r-p

I'm watching the trailer for the game as I type this. That red-haired girl might just seal the deal for me. Lol.

The Witcher EE, or Bioshock.

Thanks for the sig, btw.

I have completed Dragon Age: Origins, and so far I have found it more enjoyable then the Witcher. However, both are great games, so just go with what fits your budget.

[QUOTE="kris9031998"][QUOTE="w4rrior17"] Really old ones. I'm talking like three year old ones, so ancient.

Dude, Mass Effect is an 07 title. Enjoy the crappy graphics, lol.w4rrior17

Well Mass Effect is definitely more of an RPG than Mass Effect 2, where most of the RPG elements have been stripped away and its more of an action/adventure + third person shooter.General_X

Dude, did GS really ask you to change that pic in your sig? lol

Thats a damned shame. :(

Call of duty 4 or Dragon age:origins

For sure, Team Fortress 2!

Batman AA, it is an amazing game you should check out the demo at the very least. I think it would fit in well with your collection.wooooode

I already have Batman: AA. I forgot to include it in the list. Anyhow, I've already made my decision; I bought Mass Effect.

Great choice. I'm sure you will like it a lot.

For sure, Team Fortress 2!

He wouldn't like it. It's too old.

You should have tf2 no matter what. They just finished up with the engie update and the polycount winners have been chosen. Alien Swarm just came out yesterday and its FREE; one of its achievements even earns you a tf2 hat. If you want more good games you'll have to look beyond 2007.

BF BC2 ultimate , must have game , buy it NAO!Farkeman

the orange box. all other options suck in comparison.

You should get america's army 3. Free on steam.

Uhh...The Witcher?kris9031998

crysis also came out in 2007....

the Witcher EE is pretty good you should try it out the graphics are still nice and a good game overall
