Everyone is mumbling on about KOTOR (and with good reason), but I noticed this game has just been released. It's an RPG in the mould of Morrowind/KOTOR.
It has received decent reviews, looks very nice indeed, and you get to be a swarthy-skinned, swashbuckling cutthroat who owns a ship with a motley crew of brigands and wastrels - sailing the seven seas from island to island in pursuit of buried treasure... I think I'll get this as soon as I've completed the Star Wars thing.
RPG-on.

I was looking at this game as well.
May have to see if I can rent it first...

I can't recommend this game.
In principle everything is there: a big gameworld to explore, the vast ocean to sail your ship on - but it's the most unforgiving game ever created in the history of the galaxy!
Your ship sinks within five seconds if you encounter a storm, and if you get into a sword fight with some brigands you're dead within a couple of swishes of their blades.
I'll play it a bit longer, but I can't see how it's going to improve...

Cypher, Matrix Reloaded (if you are a Matrix fan) and The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen are all better.

It's published by Bethesda(sp) who made Morrowind, but it wasn't developed by them.

I got it on release day. Played for about an hour and then lost interest. Its a good idea but its badly implemented. Not even a patch on KOTOR.
It's not based on the actual Pirates of the Caribbean movie (best movie this year bar none so far)... and I heard it was alright but not spectacular...
Think it was at IGN or somewhere similar.

somebody buy it and tell me if it's any good
It's from the same people who made Morrowind isn't it?
It got summat like 7/10 in OXM.
Its not actually anything to do with the film - The developer just purchased the license to the title so the game would sell.
Looks alright. Its probably for people who found Morrowind good.
Like myself.

I've been told it's crap.
Can't remember exactly but there was a thread about it on the PC Gamer forums.
