Shifting Directions in Gaming

I canceled my WoW account this Saturday. I have been a little bored for sometime with playing. Nothing against WoW, but I think I'm bored with MMO's in general. I haven't stopped playing games though. This weekend I went out and bought Fallout 3. A co-worker has been going on about it for about the past two weeks. I had already been browsing the internet and reading about different games. When I came across the link to the Brotherhood of Steel Faction on the Fallout 3's web sight I was hooked. Basically they are post apocalyptic Knights Templars. I've alwasy loved the lore about paladins and knights. That is why I've always been drawn to fantasy genre, but when it was tied to furturistic sci/fi I became extremely interested. This actually opened up my mind to a sci/fi genre and a way I hadn't ever really thought about before.

So yeah, I'm hooked on Fallout 3. This is a great game, and I never knew I could enjoy a RPG this much. Really and truly these kinds of game fit my play style a lot better, I just didn't realize till I tried it. From what I've read these game has several endings, and you can play it differently each time. For right now this game is going to hold my attention for a log time.

So for now I'll be giving the MMO's a break, and expanding my PC gaming to different types. Eventually I want to try a first person shooter game. Crysis is one title that I've been reading a lot about and F.E.A.R.
