MSNBC's Best Role-Playing Games of 2007

The editors at MSNBC have compiled a list of what they feel are the six "Best Role-Playing Games of 2007." The list begins with BioWare's Mass Effect and concludes with CD Projekt's The Witcher:
"The Witcher" is a PC RPG based on the popular fantasy works of Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, grim tales that follow the exploits of Geralt the monster hunter. This is an RPG for gamers that really want to dig into a somewhat traditional fantasy world full of magic and monarchs, but be warned: The language and content makes this game definitely one for adults.

Exploring medieval scenery and managing your hero's statistics and skills plays out like many other RPGs, but "The Witcher" employs fast-paced combat. On a nice PC, "The Witcher" fills the monitor with lush imagery, making every step a visual treat.
