AVP, Borderlands, or warband?

[NeonSamurai]

The heck? Warband is almost nothing like the total war series.

Warband is an RPG sandbox game, with sorta realistic combat. You can recruit people to form armies which you can loosely control, join a kingdom and gain a fief to support your armies, do quests, trade, and what ever the heck else you want. It also has limited skirmish type multiplayer if I recall.

Simplest thing is just to download it from taleworlds.com and I think you can play to level 5 to get a feel of it for free.


As for AvP from playing it at my friends house i don't think it has much replay value to speak of.

Borderlands is fun but rather repetitive after a while. Best played with friends though, and not pickup groups.

If you want a single player game, Just Cause 2 has a ton of stuff to do (its a huge sandbox world) and you can do lots of crazy things in it, but its not realistic.


Anyhow some reviews for the last 3 from ZP
