I ubderstand and appreciate what he did for the genre, but I just cant get into his style of writing.. I'm also surprised nobody has mentioned Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar trilogy.

09 Jan 18 : 39 | Downsides to Fallout 3 I don't dislike the game, i've clocked about 60hrs so far and its got the mods to play with now. But like everything it could have been much better.

08 Jan 17 : 55 | Bioshock could end up a 6 title series, says Hartmann I love Bioshock, but loathe the idea of sequels to it - owing largely to it's already exulted story. The only hope of sustained integrity, in my mind, is to keep Ken Levine and his ex-Looking Glass team as writer/lead designer and staff: "Looking Glass"/2k Marin/2k Boston. Part of the problem is...

I know I'm more forgiving than most when it comes to games but I don't really get where all the negative opinion comes from.
