Looking for some good PC action RPG's

The best analogy I can think of is that Deus Ex is like D&D 3.5 and Human Revolution is like D&D 4E.

Nah, Deus Ex 1 is like 2nd Ed, DX:HR is like 3.5 and Invisible War is like 4E in that people who tended to like the others get all "What the fuck is this shit?" about it.

Alpha Protocol was flawed but worth a look, especially if you can pick it up cheap. Worth it for the hilarity of the Russian mobster boss fight alone.

Jade Empire is worth a look too, and is one of the few western / kung fu RPGs I can think of.

My first answer to anything like this is always Titan Quest. It's my favorite hack and slash ARPG for when I just need things to die when I click the mouse a lot and want lots of shiny new things. The bundle with the expansion goes on sale on Steam for $5 fairly regularly, and the community is still active and has released and maintained a fanpatch [http://www.titanquest.net/tq-forum/threads/29712-REL-Bugfix-patch-1.17] to fix the remaining issues in the game. It's still the game on Steam I have with the most played hours after all this time. Every time I think I'm bored of it I convince someone else I know to buy it and play through it again with them and sink another 50-100 hours into it.

In other news, Dungeon Siege 3 is $5 today on Amazon [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0054SFKUS/], which might be cheap enough to be worth it. I haven't tried it yet, and the reviews have been mixed, but enough people I know have said that it's enough fun to be worth it at that price that I grabbed a copy.

Edit: And I suppose A Valley Without Wind [http://www.arcengames.com/w/index.php/games/avww-features] would technically qualify. It's still in public beta, and not everything is finished yet, but what I've tried out so far has been interesting.

Dungeon Siege is one I've gone back to recently, it's very good fun

DS3 is a great little game, not as good as the first two but certainly worth it for that little.
