I agree but can't help point out that Ultima VII (1992) was probably the first true sandbox world RPG. Yeah, I know I'm old, sorry.Lightknight said:The graphics and fighting mechanics are pretty darn archaic at this point. The game was fantastic and new (before Morrowind there was no legitimate notion of sandbox worlds that you were really free to explore) when we it came out but I don't know how well it'd fare now.
OT: No, there are way too many new games where having his insight might actually make think about buying a game or not. Retro reviews when he has nothing else on his schedule are nice, but I already own and know how I feel about Morrowind.
