Smile and Nod: Games to Ease the Summer Drought

[sammyfreak]

I bought Civilisation Revolutions while I was in England last week (games are really cheap there) and spent the last two days playing it. Once I get my XBL membership updated I will have something to do until FarCry2/Fable2/Fallout3/Spore/Brutal Legend release this year.

Also got Fallout 2 and FFVI recently and quite liked both, have been trying to find Fable for the xbox for a while (can't bother with microsoft points).

Nice, Russ. What I like about this list (I generally dislike lists) is that there's actually a sort of aesthetic summer feel to each of these games. Swashbuckling adventure, twisted summer camp, whimsical fantasy.

I'm sure there are a ton of other worthy suggestions, but I'd throw in Neverhood if you can track down a copy of it. Something sunny about that game, too. And it's hard to go wrong with clay.
