The F.E.A.R. price is well worth it, but I'm sure that everyone already owns that one.

Actually I don't own it, but I just barely meet the system requirements. Don't know how well it would run.

Arcanum?  Wow, that's a big WTF.

Not well. It's one of those games where the listed sys requirements are totally off.

Arcanum?  Wow, that's a big WTF.

Must be trying to get rid of it. I think it's way worth it, myself; a cult classic.

For that price, if anyone here likes the Fallout-style deep turn-based RPG's with a great story and an awesome setting -- and you think you can look past the dated 2D style of graphics since most of the rage these days is 3D (which, I should add are still very good looking highly-detailed 2D graphics for its time), Arcanum is a game that definitely should not be missed.

Just like most Troika games, make sure you patch it up to its newest version, or else you're in for bugs galore from Hell.

And the music is freakin' awesome, too.

All this Arcanum talk, it actually makes me wanna re-install the damn thing...

I wouldn't say the graphics were good.  Frankly, I think they looked like shit even when the game was released.  I don't know that the story was all that special either.  But the game had interesting stuff when you got into it, the mechanics were different and often intriguing, and the setting and music were phenomenal.
