I'm looking for video games set in space for my brother for Christmas. He already has Dead Space and I was looking for more the RPG style. I'd rather it be a fairly recent game, but older ones ok as long as they're not SUPER old.
Phantasy Star Universe (a bit repetitive, but a good game) (PS2)
The Orange Box (a box set of Half-Life 2 and its stand alone expansions Episode One and Two, plus Team Fortress 2 and Portal, Half-Life 2 is an awesome game, even if you don't like FPS, you will like this game) (PS3) (Generally $20 , great buy)
Star Ocean (check for the newest one (PS3) , as good as it gets on the RPG side of it (besides Final Fantasy, but they are both made by Square Enix), you do spend time in space and going to less developed and other planets, very fun, but will be trying)
Those are the top on my list, always check with your local Gamestop to see what new games they have.
